    So, Monday’s menu goes like this. Mimi…Mom I’m going to want a snack after my run, what do we have? Me, Hmm…I’ll come up …

    1. Clean and cut the hard stalks off of the asparagus. Preheat the over as per the Pillsbury package directions. In a sauce pan heat the olive oil. Place the asparagus in the heated olive oil, add salt and pepper, drizzle with balsamic and cook about 3 minutes on med high, or until the stalks get just a little flexible.

Cook as the package directs. Serve with home made ranch dressing.

      the bachelor 2013, who will win?

      strawberriesNo I have not lost my mind. You see gorgeous strawberries, yet I’m carrying on about The Bachelor. What the heck? First off…I’m a Bachelor die-hard. I never miss an episode or season. Keep in mind, there is no other show that I watch with such commitment.  So, this is the only show I’m a freak about.

      Sean (The Bachelor) seams to be a really genuine guy. He is not my type, “not because I’m too old and that would be gross”, but, because I appreciate him and really have loved his bold elimination style.  We are down to two Catherine and Lindsay and I can’t wait to hang out with the “fam” and watch all three hours. Yippee!

      BTW, strawberries are hitting the local stands, one my favorite things on earth! Future posts to follow. Who will win…who will win?  I’m soooo excited!!! xoxo

      san diego weekend

      Another week ends and along with it many moments enjoyed.   My amazing, enterprising  Son Myles, sold a car one day and bought a new car the next day.  All with his own money.  In case you can’t hear me,  “I’m proud”!

      It has been HOT and HUMID.  I not complaining, but I’m California spoiled, so I did notice.  I noticed so much that we made beds in the house for all the dogs.  They too enjoyed the AC along with us.  (Note picture of Murphy, Happy as a Lab).  We stayed home Saturday night.  Brad and I took a warm jacuzzi after tennis, played with the dogs, watched movies, while I sifted through stacks and stacks of old magazines, pulling the articles and images that inspire me.  Then Saturday Night Live came on.  I watched, laughed  and fell sound asleep.  All is good and I’m almost ready for Monday?xoxo, Julie
