Weekend Living

 Great morning. A weekend morning that doesn't require much of me. Yes. I ate a delicious apple crisp made by Gillian, put my hair up for an accompanying gig, and didn't make my bed. Of course, this weekend I also took a look at this blog, and this blog--two of my favorites.

How was your morning?

Best,

Snow Ice Cream

Snow ice cream. This stuff is amazing. The boys had a lot of fun with the process too, of course. Outdoor photo credits go to Mama, she took them for me.  :)

Snow Ice Cream 

12 cups freshly fallen snow
2 tsp. vanilla
3 c. heavy cream
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/3-1/2 c. maple syrup

Mix together the cream, salt, and vanilla before adding the snow. Fold the snow into the other ingredients.

Serve immediately with ardor. And thoroughly enjoy it. It is full out amazing.

Love,

Crocheted Headband

One of my Christmas presents for Mama. It's crocheted, with a crocheted lace flower.  It's such a pleasure to see my beautiful Mama wearing it. The headband yarn was a gift from an artist friend, and the flower yarn a gift from Mama that she brought from Brazil.  Delightful color combination, yes?

Best,

A Breath of Winter Air

We all needed to get out. Sometimes, when living in the suburbs, a step away from the residential streets and rows of houses is imperative. It is amazing how quickly time outside can affect one's spirits. You can call it whatever you like: constitutional, perambulation, stroll, airing, ramble. Just give me my winter walk in the snow. 

For the record, more individuals participated in the walk than pictured. Don't be envious if it looks to picturesque...I didn't include the photos of the "snow-dives" achieved by my brothers. 

Kale Chips

I am so excited about these kale chips! My Mama and I made two whole bunches last night, and we ate the whole bowl. Delicious. It's super easy, and full of good nutrients. 

Kale Chips Recipe


1 bunch of Kale--any kind
Olive Oil
Sea Salt

Preheat the oven to 350˚. Tear off all the leaves from the kale stalks, and place them on a cookie sheet. Next drizzle with olive oil and grind some sea salt on the leaves. Toss the kale, then, distributing the olive oil and salt as best as possible. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or less. You want the kale to be crispy, but not burnt. Munch away!
