Favorite Fridays

More of Favorite Fridays!!
  
Kitchen Stuff!
  

  
I get a big kick when I see some
old familiar items.  Long before
the blenders and food processors.
This was a major item.  It’s a chopper.
At the bottom of the jar is a round
wooden disk.  You can chop your
garlic, onions, eggs. Whatever
pleases you.
  

  
Refrigerators used to come with their own butter
dish. It [...]

Opening Day at Fenway!!

It’s been quite a few years since we’ve had a Home Opener, at Fenway. I can’t explain the
excitement, the energy, the electricity that flows through all  New England  on this day. Eyes are
on Yawkey Way.  Opening Day is one thing, that’s the official start of spring and an exciting summer.  A  Home Opening Day is like [...]

Corned Beef Boiled Dinner

If you look up you’ll see that I’m (making a mess hahaha).  I’m putting
recipe techniques on seperate pages. That way you won’t have to scroll

Whew!

Yesterday morning I looked out the upstairs window, and of course

I heard a noise, which is odd because I can’t get out the driveway. Which means

And LOOK who came to save me.
The plow and sander, YIPPEE

It doesn’t stop

 
Out of the bosom of the Air,
