August 13, 2013… my first blog post! Who says you cannot teach an old broad new tricks.. or she cannot stumble around and learn a few tricks on her own? Where is that darn teacher of new tricks when you need one??
Since this is a daily diary of my adventures, I might as well take a deep breath and jump right in.
DH (dear hubby) and I are babysitting our just newly 6 yr. old for the summer, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. This is a week off those duties so this morning saw me planning a long list of things to accomplish. Then the phone rang………..”birding at Eastern Passage, why I would love to”. And off I went with our friend, Jacques, ….bins and camera, Sibley Field Guide to Birds of North America, apple and nut/date balls (may get around to posting recipes eventually.. not for apples) in hand!
No ‘lifers’ but a decent assortment of shorebirds.. Willets, Yellowlegs, Ruddy Turnstones, Dowitchers, Least and Semi-palmated Sandpipers.
Willet and Yellowlegs (Lesser.. I think)
So back home to my list. Oh.. a cup of green tea and a few minutes on Facebook.. what the heck. An hour later and back to the list.. oh oh.. time to start getting supper. DH has decided to make supper this week but he has chosen as the stars of the meals..shrimp, mussels, cream, etc. I have been vegan for close to a year now but DH doesn’t have the concept nailed yet. So I made a Massaged Kale Salad.. yep, that’s right ‘massaged’. I have seen different recipes for this on Pinterest and I decided to try one. It was AWESOME… turns out if you add a little olive oil and sea salt to kale and massage it a little, it becomes tender ..not that tough stuff that takes a blender to chew! I kid you not.. TENDER!! Should have taken a picture of my first massaged salad. I’ll get onto this blog thing.. give me break. It’s my initiation post! Oh and also made a quinoa (keen wa), bean, sundried tomato, lemon, salad. Maybe I should do a food blog! 🙂
Well, no need of going on and on with my first post ever.
Hope you are having a better hair day than this little guy!
Have a great day! Namaste! Pura Vida! Ciao! I will settle on something eventually! 🙂
