I freeze fruits in silicone cupcake cups, cut up-freeze-they fall right out of the cups and into freezer bags ready to go.

What's a Costco? Just kidding-No such establishment, nor any of its relatives in this neck of the woods

We use bourbon or whiskey, and yes to orange slices or orange peel and luxador cherries!

164.9. I thought that big drop might have been too good to be true! Still happy with the loss.

Warm and sunny today. Too warm to take Mom to the Botanical Gardens. DC1 hanging out today. Otherwise, shopping errands have been run, laundry is being done and I prepped tonight's dinner (meatballs with mushroom gravy) yesterday so that only needs to be warmed and rice made.

Anyone heard from Peps? Hoping all is well with him and his Dad!

I don't like dark colors either (other than black dresses for going out). I find them depressing.

I use very few "recipes" but can generally tell you amounts and ingredients in the things I make! Here is a good one for all of you. Easy and delicious! Not much protein but you could add chicken or shrimp or sausage if you liked.

Tortellini Soup

4 cups chicken broth

3-4 cloves minced garlic

1 can diced tomatoes with Italian seasoning

1/2 package tortellini (I prefer Costco's 5 cheese)

smaller package of fresh spinach

Parmesan cheese for topping

Add broth, garlic, tomatoes and bring to boil. Add Tortellini and coo****il done (usually 5 minutes), add fresh spinach and coo****il fully wilted. Serve with Parmesan cheese on top and crusty bread if you like!

A bonfire and Old Fashioneds sound like a perfect evening. Are you a brandy or whiskey Old Fashioned girl? I prefer brandy with oranges and double cherries!
