We Were Soldiers – Snapshot of the Day, No. 303

Ok. So I have a slight addiction to sugar and caffeine. Mexican Cokes are my drug of choice. They are GOOD! (They are bottled in Mexico, and real sugar is used – making them taste like they did when I was a kid in the late 60s and early 70s.) Anyway, they are also expensive;Continue reading “We Were Soldiers – Snapshot of the Day, No. 303”

Like Mother……… Snapshot of the Day, No. 302

Joe and I went to Alabama’s last home game of the season today in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They played the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga – completely out of their league, but UTC got a boatload of money for doing it. It helps UTC out financially, but it also gives the Alabama players a little restContinue reading “Like Mother……… Snapshot of the Day, No. 302”

Uptown Photo – Snapshot of the Day, No. 301

This is a corner window of a building I used to work in – YEARS ago. It’s the former Miller Bros. building. Millers was a department store. I think BlueCross owns it now. My mother had worked there as a graphic designer and layout artist in the late 50s and early 60s. She was really,Continue reading “Uptown Photo – Snapshot of the Day, No. 301”

Godiva Season – Snapshot of the Day, No. 300

My husband knows I have a weakness for Godiva chocolates. Especially their dark chocolate. So every gift-giving occasion, I get two boxes: 1. dark chocolate assortment; and 2. dark chocolate truffles. He’s a very good husband. This is one of the truffles from my birthday. After this shot, it was consumed…..and chased with a Coke.Continue reading “Godiva Season – Snapshot of the Day, No. 300”

Our Favorite Bar – Snapshot of the Day, No. 298

I think I’ve pulled my husband over to the dark side – of chocolate that is. A former milk chocolate lover, Joe now really appreciates the taste and health benefits of dark chocolate. Chocolove bars – especially the Sea Salt and Almond – is our very favorite. We can go through a bar in oneContinue reading “Our Favorite Bar – Snapshot of the Day, No. 298”

Spooning – Snapshot of the Day, No. 297

I must admit I stole this idea from a cookbook I was given for my birthday: “Barefoot Contessa, Foolproof.” She’s one of my step-mother’s favorite cooks – and Lynda is a great cook herself. The Contessa must be doing something right. I could have called this, “Self Portrait with Spoons. As you can see, I’mContinue reading “Spooning – Snapshot of the Day, No. 297”

Regular Cookies – Snapshot of the Day, No. 296

These oatmeal raisin cookies are from a recipe in Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook, “My Father’s Daughter.” I alter it a bit because I cannot find all of the ingredients that it calls for. They are pretty good, and also pretty healthy. The only sugar in them is from maple syrup. Joe and his mom love themContinue reading “Regular Cookies – Snapshot of the Day, No. 296”

Foggy Hike – Snapshot of the Day, No. 295

Today is my birthday. It started out with some of my favorite people for breakfast at a McDonald’s – no where near where we live. That meant we had to get up at 5:00 a.m. But it was worth it. Several are WWII veterans. I don’t ever want to miss a chance to visit withContinue reading “Foggy Hike – Snapshot of the Day, No. 295”
