As life becomes harder and more threatening, it also becomes richer, 
because the fewer expectations we have, 
the more the good things of life become unexpected gifts that we
accept with gratitude.

  3. Haha. Maybe a martini, or even a margherita, one day ... but for me right now, I'll enjoy not being hungover - I've never been one for moderation :) great photography though (it was almost food for thought) ;)

  5. The chicken dish looks soooo good, but in the spirit of quality over quantity I say treat yourself and upgrade to Silver Patron and Grand Marnier! You deserve it.

  10. You have many gifts - writing, photography, cooking, baking, motherhood, advocacy - and coming to your blog is like visiting a friend's house. It is a treat. After this tough day, it was so nice to come into your kitchen. Thank you for inviting us.
    P.S.: I almost posted that quote on fb today!
