My Favorite Things . . .

 

These are some of the things in life that I enjoy and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Lets share! 

 

A good book to read, although admittedly I read more books on my kindle these days than I do books you can hold.  You can carry your whole library with you and jump in to read anywhere. Its a simple thing. Books and I have always been good friends. No matter what shape or form they come to me in.

Toasted bread. Especially rustic breads, with plenty of butter. Cheese is optional. I used to work in a care home when I first moved to the U.K. They had a toast machine. It would toast lots of slices of bread at one time.  So delicious. you popped in the top and by the time it came out the bottom it was perfectly toasted. You could order your toast in cafe's on thick, medium or thin sliced bread.  It was all good. Nobody does toast better than the British.

A place to rest your feet and legs. That looks like a mighty comfy foot stool.

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Oven Baked Sesame Chicken. This was quite simply delicious.  Very easy to make as well.  No frying involved, and its gluten free. 

Thanks for all of your advice yesterday re my friend. I did call her last evening and just ignored the topics that she is most likely to be bossy about and steered the conversation onto different topics.  It was much more pleasant.  I know she means well and thinks she is being helpful.  

Today Cindy and I are going on a road trip that is more than likely to end in . . . pie!

I hope that you have a beautiful day. Be happy, be blessed and don't forget!
