My Summer Swap Box!!

I posted last month that I signed up for a "Summer Swap" on the Simple Woman blog. I had fun searching and shopping for my swap partner, Tangee. I hope she's going to like her box as much as I do mine! I received a lovely pearly blue bracelet that she made, some homemade soap bars, a very elegant metal candlestick(heavy too!), a Mary Engelbreit decorating book, which you are going to enjoy too Leslie, a Country Living magazine, and a church cookbook to add to my collection. Maybe I better open it and pick out something to make for this homecooked,dinner starved, family!! This was my first swap and Tangee was a terrific partner. Thank you Tangee and thank you Peggy for setting this up. I'm looking forward to doing more swaps.

Plain and Simple

Well, for those who prod me to blog more, and you 2(C & L)know who you are, here is my latest. I thought I'd add my dinner picture for viewing. It's not healthy, but it was quick and tasty actually. The best part was the "Fanizzi" potatoes. I know you've heard Dad, over the years, rave about the potatoes our landlady in Syracuse would make. Very Italian, she seasoned them and tossed them with olive oil and baked in the oven. He took over the cutting of the potatoes because they have to be just the right size ;0)
