Thoughtful Thank-yous

Thankful for soft beds on which to try out snooze positioning.

Well, we are very thankful for visits from our kids and grandkids who live all over the planet it seems…4 in Rome, 3 in London, 2 in Amsterdam, and 1 in Barcelona and we add a couple of ourselves on to the numbers in any gathering.

Tonight it’s buffet night on the old homestead…3 vegans and the rest of us vegetable lovers, so it’s easy peasy.  Hummus, baba ganoush (eggplant), cold corn soup, rice salad, tabouleh, and pasta alla romana with and without parmesan, depending on who is cheesie and who is not, haha

Papa’s daughter says that shea butter is almost as good a real butter so we’re going to try it sometime soon.

(Especially since it gets rid of wrinkles, is a sun cream, a hair treatment and more, haha.)

Mama says it’s amazing how good vegan food tastes–a cold corn soup, this time without the original spoon of butter but instead mama used coconut milk, for example. Kicked it right up a notch!

Mama says that we have been eating vegan foods for years and just didn’t think about it as such, but, oh, boy, are they perfecct for cold summer dishes.

Thank you, vegan kids, for expanding mama’s cooking range. Uh, not the stove, the repertoire, whatever that is.

I think I have to go add to my own repertoire of snooze positions right now.

This will work, non?

Or this? Uh, a mouth-breather…snores to come….

Think I’ll just settle on the tablecloth…mama’s washing it anyway later…

And we are thankful for all of our blogger friends and for Brian’s hop and, we hope, for some real news soon on whether the Wagner leader is still with us or faked his own demise. Now wouldn’t that be interesting?
