White Crockery

Thrift store finds. The bowls are all Homer Laughlin restaurant ware. The rectangular dish is similar, but unmarked.

A Little Christmas Bling

Bought these at the thrift store yesterday (note to self: don't wait until December to look for ornaments at the TS). Put them in the foyer to add a little shimmer and shine.

Tomato Tragedy

Boo Hoo! No garden tomatoes for Christmas this year.

The Ice of Texas

Snow in Fort Worth!

Here are photos of our surprise snowfall. It is still coming down as I type. The first three photos were taken in front of the house; the last three are in the backyard.

Hot Pepper Pizza!

I picked one of the European Hot Peppers from the garden.



Scattered thin slices on a homemade pizza crust, along with tomatoes, green onions, artichoke hearts, and jalapeno peppers.


Baked on a pizza stone at 500 degress for twelve minutes, then enjoyed with a tumbler of sparkling pomegranate-lemonade. Mmmmmmm!
