Mama Kat Thursday: Coffee In 8 Lines

-
Today's Mama Kat challenge was to write a blog post in exactly 8 lines, so I did a free-style sort of poem about coffee plus this hilarious Pinterest photo:



The coffee pot 
burbles,
then beeps
it's done
I pour,
add sweet
and creamer
then take a sip...ahhh.








 What would you write about in 8 lines?


Thanks for Visiting!

That photo IS hilarious! My first thought? That lady must have a mouth of steel to swallow hot coffee straight from the pot!

Mama Kat Thursday: Taking A Chance

-
Image
The Mama Kat prompt topic for this week is:  "Talk about a time you took a chance. " I told hubby I was going to do this topic. He snorted and said, "You never take a chance." And, he's right--from a certain point of view--- if taking a chance only means risking your well-being. I would  never take a chance that might put me in harms way. However, "taking a chance" isn't limited to risking one's life or well-being, though it generally involves some kind of risk in order to gain something. But what's risked can be as small as time, or trust or matters of the heart; not just money or life.  So, from that point of view, a major time I took a chance is when I set up my first website to post some fan-fiction on that I'd been writing. You see, I don't take criticism well. I got a degree in Graphic Art only to figure out afterwards I wasn't equipped to be in the commercial art field because I lacked the necessary tolerance...

Mama Kat Thursday: Best of the Police Blotter

-
Image
I wasn't inspired to use any of this weeks actual Mama Kat prompts, but there's been a number of amusing incidents reported around town in our local newspaper Police Blotter and I decided to share those.  Hubby and I often get a laugh out of some of the reports, because people are either just dumb or kinda weird. So, here it is, the best of the Police Blotter: On Jan 12, police stopped a car traveling 100 mph in a 45 mph zone. The driver said she was not aware she was going that fast, but thought she was "just cruising."  She was handed a speeding ticket and an opportunity to tell it to the judge. ***** On Jan 18, police responded to a call from a woman who said she'd been jumped by a man and two women who struck her over the head with a pistol. The victim said the suspects had been looking for marijuana because she deals marijuana. She did not want to press charges or fill out a written statement. ***** On Jan 23, police responded to an add...

Garden Pic Wednesday: Dark Lady Tiger Swallowtail!

Hubby and I make a weekly hobby of reading the Police Blotter that comes in the free local Wednesday paper to see what weird things are going on in our town:   Here's a couple highlights from this week: * A guy riding along on roadway on his bike reported several unknown persons in a gray van chased him, attempted to take his picture, asked for his I.D. and tried to block  him,  he continued to ride away until he crashed on Cedar Dr.  (He crashed ? That's it? But there was nothing more in the report.) * Police responded to a local Tom Thumb Convenience Store where a woman was reported yelling and creating a disturbance . Police arrived, spoke with her. She then got into her vehicle and went on her way.  (One is left wondering what there was to yell about at a convenience store?) **** Today's Garden Pic is a lovely shot of a female dark-form Tiger Swallowtail: You may not know that about Tiger Swallowtails, the showy, typically yellow and black bu...

Good Eating Monday: Peach Cobbler Dump Cake!

-
Image
Yes, I tried another new Pinterest recipe and this one is a winner! The primary dictionary definition of a "Dump Cake," is an easily made cobbler in which cake mix is dumped over canned fruit or pie filling.  This recipe was pinned from Del Monte, which means it's been a recipe that's been created & tested in a corporate test kitchen. That's one benefit of all those label, can & box recipes provided by manufacturers on their product packaging. You can even buy cookbooks featuring nothing, but package & label recipes of which many are vintage. The only changes I'd suggest is add one more 15 oz can of fruit. It can be more peaches, cherry fruit cocktail, regular fruit cocktail or whatever you want. (So, I've noted 4 cans of peaches in the recipe.)   It just needs a little more volume on the fruit quantity.  And stir a teaspoon or two of cinnamon into the fruit! Otherwise, this is an excellent, quick dessert you can serve hot with v...

Garden Pic Wednesday: December Blooms

   Welcome back!    I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee and a snack size Mounds bar. (My favorite!) My husband got me one of those boxes of 8. I keep them in the freezer and have one after lunch, maybe every other day or so, depending on what I eat for lunch. I've discovered coconut milk creamer and love that in my coffee now! Only about 5 calories for a cupful and so full of good-for-you stuff! (It doesn't taste like coconut!)   We had a good rain the past couple days and today I went around with my watering can of Miracle-Gro just now to the broccoli and various blooming or bulb flowers. I have ever-blooming southern strawberries that like to start blooming now, but I've decided to nip their blooms thru January, because the berries only freeze. For pictures today I have broccoli, red saliva & button mums!   First up, because it's so Christmasy colored, is red Saliva! This one is in a front bed pot. There are 2 ...
