The Tale Of Two Cookies!

Everyone that knows me knows that I will cook with whatever I have on hand. I will do some research online or go through my cookbooks to get some ideas or I will just go in the kitchen and start throwing stuff together and sometimes if I’m lucky I actually get something edible out of the deal.

The cool thing about cooking like this is that not only do I save money on my grocery bill I use up all the stuff taking over my pantry, pretty much like that shelf of canned goods that somehow made their way into my life will get used for some good meals and snacks later on this year so be on the look out for those ideas.

Using a bookshelf for extra space.

Consummation Of The Poetry

Daily Prompt: Ready, Set, Done

I was going through some old photos today that I wanted to scan and pack away when I ran across the picture of my best friend and buddy in the whole wide world. We meet back in 2000 in St. Louis, and even though we both moved to separate areas, him to the Georgia area and me back to my hometown. Open Mic Night

So today’s post was a good way to reflect over my friend and our life as I looked at that long forgotten photograph and remembered the times we shared our poetry with each other, how we both had names for our collection of poetry that one day we would share with the world.

His book was called “Oral Elixir” which he did publish and mines will be called “Series of Climaxes” which I put aside when I moved back to KC but now after all these many years I want to bring those words back into the light.  Continue reading “Consummation Of The Poetry” →

Chocolate Truffle Time

Here I was standing in the middle of my cooking area holding in my hand once again a heavy bar of expensive dark chocolate that my wonderful, handsome sometimes-clueless boyfriend gave to me for some reason, wondering one more time what the heck was I going to do with it as I stuck it back in the fridge to live another day.

This chocolate bar has been the running joke in the house for the past three months, because we were all dumbfounded when this sweet man brought it home to me. Don’t get me wrong I love chocolate and I love that he surprises me with special treats, but Sheesh! This was one heck of an expensive bar of chocolate not to mention it weighed two pounds, so it’s not something one can eat in one sitting. Continue reading “Chocolate Truffle Time” →

911 Do You Remember?

I remember, thirteen years ago today. It was a bright sunny day, I was living in St. Louis at the time and my life felt almost nearing perfect. I was headed into work at the then Adams Mark Hotel were I worked in the HR department as an employment specialist, a job I was falling in love with. As was my normal morning routine I went up into the employee dining room for my morning coffee and aspirin, I still didn’t know what was going on outside my perfect world. I stood there sipping coffee and looking at the morning TV show and I saw this:  Continue reading “911 Do You Remember?” →

A Dream Nonetheless – A Story

Daily Prompt: Greetings, Stranger

You’re sitting at a café when a stranger approaches you. This person asks what your name is, and, for some reason, you reply. The stranger nods, “I’ve been looking for you.” What happens next?

Coffee around the world
Coffee around the world

She had finally arrived; she was in London sitting at a lovely downtown café, absorbing everything going on around her, she closed her eyes to take a sip of the intensely strong coffee in order to savor the flavors flowing over her tongue.

Looking up a contented smile on her lips,  she sees a tall handsome stranger arriving, their eyes meet, hers a dark chocolate brown, his dazzling green. Dropping her eyes quickly, the smile vanishing, she shivered as if a breeze had blown by. He paused mid-step; it felt as if an electric shock had touched him, moving towards the table where she sat alone, it was as if unseen hands were guiding him.  Continue reading “A Dream Nonetheless – A Story” →
