Outside is Good

Ebay Treasure

A few weeks ago, I ran across these two items in eBay. An old handmade postcard book, filled with linen postcards that I instantly fell in love with. And the other one was a 1957 yearbook from my dads high school.

The postcards were in great shape, except in the corners where they had been taped down.

I paid 60 dollars for the yearbook.

I didn't know what I'd find, but turning the pages I came to this picture of the photography club. And sitting right next to the only girl, is my daddy with his black framed glasses. I swear I felt my heart break a little, but in a good way. Turns out, that 60 dollars gave me a gift that is now priceless.

A never before seen picture of my dad.

Dim Sum Sunday ~ Soup

It's hot steamy soup for this week's Dim Sum Sunday.

With a little help in the garden gathering some veggies and herbs, and a bit of slicing and dicing in the kitchen.

We had a nice pot of bubbling yummies to eat. Perfect for another cold day in Florida.

For more DSS fun head over to The Karmic Kitchen.

It has been brought to my attention that I shoot crappy a$$ videos, so I apologize in advance. ;)

Surgery for Mom

This morning, my sweet beautiful mom left her house out in the hollow, to make her way to a hospital in Kentucky for gastric bypass surgery. At 64, with stents and a pacemaker on her heart, it becomes a high risk surgery.

I pray that it will all be okay.

Dim Sum Sunday ~ Citrus

For this week's Dim Sum Sunday, we baked a Three Layer Orange Cake.

Yummy!

Our cake came out good, moist with just a hint of orange, and layered with a tangy orange filling. The cream cheese icing was nice and tart, a good compliment to the cake.

All together, it turned out to be very good. I think if we were to make it again, we'd maybe try a lemon version.

For more of this week's citrus fun head on over to The Karmic Kitchen.

Dim Sum Sunday ~ Snow Days

For this month's Dim Sum Sunday, we have the theme of Snow Days. Now here where I live in Florida, we don't get snow, but it does get cold.

And on those days, nothing tastes better than a bowl of delicious red lentil soup. Perfect with a loaf of crusty french bread and some fresh oregano and parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. You have a great warm your belly kind of meal.

For more Dim Sum Sunday fun, head over to The Karmic Kitchen.
