Saturday Surfing

Some weeks I get to come here and post every day… I get to spend time in the kitchen and develop recipes…Life is good.

And then there are the weeks where the kids get sandwiches for lunch AND dinner and I slurp cold coffee in my bedroom while typing rapidly.

Guess which one last week was?

I did make a couple of things that I loved and I  will be posting soon. Steaks with my dad’s hibachi sauce, my mom’s macaroni salad, and strawberry shortcake…comfort food for me, although I stayed away from the carbs they were fun to look at. :/

I love August because it means that summer is winding down. Summer is nice but I love autumn and I think it is time that people learned to appreciate autumn much more. Think about it…Summer requires us to be half naked which means eating salads with no dressing, sugar free jello, and celery sticks. It is hot and sticky and your hair turns to frizz. If you don’t slather with sunscreen you burn and risk cancer but if you do? Breakouts.  Now, think about autumn… jeans, sweaters, and tweed jackets cover up any jiggly flesh you might have. The weather is cool enough to take long walks and your hair? Perfect.  The light is softer and more golden and makes everyone look beautiful. The food? Autumn offers everything good.

See? Autumn rocks.

• Japanese Shortcake Jelly Roll with Chocolate Whipped Cream I had to add this this week. Why? Because Kelly met me for lunch yesterday and brought me…. THREE pieces. And you really want to make this. I promise.
