Colin and I went for a hike up Palm Canyon. It's a beauty to behold. Groves of palms and a stream, shockingly appear out of the desert. Then just as suddenly as they appear, they're gone again, giving way to... Continue reading

Kate, I was taken aback with your comment and did some checking. I find no evidence of it being a racial slur. Not in the dictionary, Wikipedia, etc. I also found an interesting reference to the topic here: http://www.snopes.com/language/offense/jimmies.asp Take care, Serena

Jimmies

It's fun to find new ways to serve up treats. What can you do when you have tipsy little treats that wobble about when placed on a serving tray? Why, fill a favorite vessel with Jimmies, of course! Then, place... Continue reading

The Mountains

We went away to the mountains. How lucky are the cousins who can putter around and be pals? Sunny days covered in snow. We soak in what mother nature sends our way. A walk in the woods, where winter is... Continue reading

Angie, Thank you for the links. Anything I post here is original to me. I believe very strongly in being original. I talk a little about that here: http://thefarmchicks.typepad.com/farmchicks/2012/07/the-originals.html I'd never seen the posts (or the blog) you referenced. I've been doing these big roses on cupcakes for years and thought it'd be pretty to cover a cake with them. The work you posted is lovely and I'm happy to post a link to it here as well.

Hi Melanie, Are you referring to the plates in the Quinoa recipe? If so, they are from Target, purchased there about six to seven years ago. Hugs, Serena
