Have you ever heard of a reverse coloring book? I'd been wanting to get this particular one for awhile, but it was sold out. I think that maybe it'll help me to become more creative. Plus it seems to be a good way to just relax.
It just became available on Amazon again and for a cheaper-than-before price so I ordered it. I haven't even received it yet but wanted to tell you about it in case you might be interested.
Wendell's "secret" to his ono French toast is to use sweet bread.
Ho!! What she said and how she said it gave me goosebumps. Makes me wish that I could express myself in Italian too.
Does anybody know where this is from? Somebody from one of Wendell's softball teams brought it for pupu and Wendell scored it. He doesn't remember which team (he plays on several) or who brought it.
I just love it. It's a bit sweet and very soft.

In a medium skillet over medium heat saute bell pepper and onion in oil until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, coriander, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant and darkens in color, about 2 minutes.
Add wine; cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add beef; cook until no pink remains, 5-7 minutes. Add half of cilantro, tomato, olives, broth, potato and peas. Allow to low boil 10-12 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and liquid has reduced. Stir in remaining cilantro.
Serve with cilantro, lime and basmati rice. Serves 4.
I hope that the ICC also go after Putin's flunkies, and I hope that they're all quaking in their boots right now.
Here are just a few things that I bought from Daiso recently.
Remember how excited I was about the baby mangoes from our neighbor's tree that were overhanging into our yard? The recent heavy winds blew them all down. Too bad, yah.
