Breakfast is My Favorite Meal

 I never run out of ideas for breakfast. I’m always ready to start my day with a healthy one.  

This is so easy and yummy and filling. 

Banana Fritters with Strawberries and of course pure Maple Syrup.

2 ripe bananas

1½ tablespoons honey

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla 

¼ cup flour sifted

1 teaspoon baking soda

cinammon and ginger to taste

Sliced strawberries for the top  

DIRECTIONS

Mix first four ingredients

Sift in the rest

Drop 1 ½ Tablespoon batter into hot oiled pan

Brown to edge flip and drain on paper before serving with maple syrup

Let me know if you try it. 

Not even sure, I remember how to do this

 I had such a fun photography day at Seasons Garden Center. I met with five eager iPhone users who wanted to improve their snap and edit skills and I’m confident each one did😀

I used slides to demonstrate composition techniques and as we went through them we reviewed the iPhone camera. Of course, everyone had a different phone from 7 to the latest and I have a 12. We got grids up and burst out a few. Everyone tried panarama and most importantly they learned touch focus and light adjustments and even saw their histograms. One person started to nod so I got the group up and moving

So much fun shaking myself around to model and everyone followed. 

Demonstration of camera on the ground, wreath made for selfies which we did not use, and all of us playing with panarama

Have not photo blogged in a long while.  As I find myself alone with dog for a long weekend, I also find myself here.  Been looking for some inspiration and this morning I made my way to the corner garden and spent a few hours weeding....

Got to the Lavender and had to clip and shoot.

As the sun encroached on my shade and my body began to say enough, I moved inside and made myself one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while.

With the last inch of the tired banana bread about to find itself in my trash, I decided to carefully slice off the heal and prepare it as I would French Toast.  Only, I poured in heavy cream before I realized what I was doing.   Oh well, moving on... I drenched the bread in the egg/cream mix and positioned it in the frying pan.  With just a small amount of the mix left, I decided to pour it over the bread and watched wide eyed, as it spilled off the sides into the pan.  With one careful flip, I dragged the frying egg mix under the bread and browned the second side.  Seriously...doesn't that look good!  Plated with a finishing touch of Maine Maple Syrup, I can assure you it didn't last long in residence on my plate.  I might never go back to regular milk.

Happy Mother’s Day 2020

9am and I’m posting again.  Then I’m out for a bit ☺️.
As already blabbed here I had a fun three way text going with my sibs.
My sister shared these pics and we concluded they were on their honeymoon.






I called my mom to wish her a happy birthday. I read to her from words I wrote on my 8th birthday.

I described the picture of the newlyweds and although she remembered the fur coat, borrowed from her mother, she told me, she did not remember the hat.  I told her next time we visit I will show her the picture.

Stupid Corona Virus

It Took Years to Get Here

Been so long I hardly remember how to play here. Let go of the Delaware Views pay site So I can come back to free cause I love free.  Step right up and get your free corona virus. Have no fear you can always wait for it to come to a town near you. oh you don’t want no covid19. Been waiting all my life for this one. Never thought I would be home making a face mask to protect myself and you from a novel virus.
This was no art project. Ok maybe a little bit crafty.  Had all this stuff stashed for crafts and managed after a good long part of the afternoon to put this together.  First attempt was a glamour fail.

Next major accomplishment of the day was conquering my fear of the Ninja. Seriously,

simple. Don’t know why I was scared and working myself into a sweat when all

I had to do was push a few buttons and add vodka!
