A Little Bit of Everything

October 2015

 

Fall is finally arriving in The Valley of the Sun and none too soon. This is the most pleasant time of the year to be here and the snowbirds are beginning to arrive before winter sets in .

One of the really good things about the fall season is knowing that Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice is back. Never tried it? Check it out!

Fall in Arizona is also the best time of the year to visit the many arts & crafts fairs throughout The Valley. One of the best floating arts & crafts fairs is Briar Patch Marketplace. You can visit their website at: www.briarpatchmarketplace.com

If you have ever considered creating art using the medium of watercolor, Kathy B. has written an article on  Getting Started With Watercolor.  You can also view some of her work at:  www.Etsy.com

We have added a wonderful fall recipe for Stuffed Peppers that has been handed down in our family over the years.

September 2015

Well, September has finally arrived and soon things will be cooling down here in Metro Phoenix. This has been a blazing hot three months with unusually high humidity. For whatever reason, the summers seem to be getting hotter.

Hope you all had a great summer wherever you live!

For those of you who never met our two dogs,  I will be introducing them in a brief article called Puppy Love.  A little bit about them and some things we learned from them.

You can also find a nice quick and delicious recipe for Caprese Salad that looks pretty and can stand alone as a main course.

July 2015

Okay, okay. In the last blog I indicated that I wouldn’t be posting again until after Labor Day. Well, as I am writing this (June 18th), the temperature in Scottsdale is 115 degrees (but it’s a dry heat, yeah, yeah, yeah) and the streets are mostly deserted. So, who wants to go outside anyway?

Over the course of a few days, we decided to do a summertime sampling of some fast food joints to see what’s new, read Fast Food Fandango for the lowdown.

You can also find a great summer recipe for Baked Chicken that’s pretty easy to make.

Aloha!

A good part of the month of May was spent on Maui. Although this trip was primarily for business, we did manage to get some touring in and to check out some of the great restaurants, inns and resorts, some for the first time and some old favorites. We will be returning in October for what may turn out to be our last visit before making the final move.

Also in this month’s blog is a quick and easy recipe for broiled tilapia that is both healthy and tasty.

In our  Pull My Finger post, we will be sharing jokes from around the web and jokes that you send in. Feel free to contribute by email at:   [email protected]

Aloha!

This month’s blog is eclectic , to say the  least. We are covering everything from martinis to musical instruments, recipes and jokes.

Before heading over to Maui, we thought it would be fun to write on a few interesting things to do and see right here in Arizona. Namely, The Musical Instrument Museum and a sampling of the best Martinis in town. Yeah, I know, it’s a tough job but somebody’s ‘gotta do it.

In our new Pull My Finger post, we will be sharing jokes from around the web. If you have a joke or funny story to contribute, submit it to: [email protected]
