Lila Rose Kennedy

I can't believe I've never heard of her before or that I can't find out anything about her.
All I can do is find posters of her darling prints all over the web.

Here's a small sample:

What's cookin in the deakers kitchen this week

It seems to be I only get to this every two month.

Here it is June 11th.

a sampling of what we've had:

lemony risotto/asparagus/shrimp

my pancetta turkey meatloaf which I love!

Last night tried a new recipe:

red snapper layered with potatoes, tomatoes, in a wine sauce

(turned out great)

tonight - swordfish - with willie's homemade mustard

fish tacos with red snapper

jambalaya

hot dogs - again with willie's mustard

next week, trying a recipe from Daily Candy:

Prawns and cannelloni beans, calls for lots of basil which we certainly have

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost two months since I put anything here.

Tax day, April 15 Pea soup cooking with bone from our Easter ham, this should be two dinners

salmon and salmon salad, always good for two dinners

Turkey Italian sausage/cannelini bean casserole

spare ribs, cole slaw and corn for Sat. dinner with Ann/Neil

probably some frozen fish

and maybe tempura shrimp

that should hold us for the week

2/24 Sausage and cannelini bean stew

fish tacos with fresh cod

tilapia mediterranean

Fish Feast at St James

pulled pork sandwiches

chicken piccata, recipe courtesy of Paula

eggplant, penne pasta

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

2/18 Homemade pizza topped with leftover spaghetti and meatballs

Blt's - always tasty

vegetable lasagna - storebought

chicken, enough for two nights, still not sure how

turkey burgers

pork roast

a wonderful new discovery - home made lemon curd

2/10 Back on my game - sorta - at least I have a plan and the food for 7 dinners this week:

salmon, then salmon salad

chili/corn bread, then leftover chili over baked potatoes

spaghetti/meatballs paired with Rod's fabulous homemade bread

Asian chicken salad - made with chicken, slaw, fried wontons(yum)

tempura shrimp - love it - from the frozen food section

also am going to make a lemon pound cake from the wonderful lemons from Rose, Paula and the Murphys

lots of soup lately, some from the freezer (not nearly as good as it was the first time around)

fabulous bean soup with honey baked ham bone (can't afford a big ham, but they sell the bones that still have tons of meat on them)

salmon and salmon salad with great croutons from the bread that isn't quite, from Rod's new bread making ventures

plain old turkey burgers, but think I'll spice them up with some pepper jelly, amazing what you can use it on, everything from fish to chicken to pork to eggs

tuna melts with the tasty rye bread someone gave me

lasagna, both cheesy and cheeseless (how not fun)

pork tenderloin and chop suey with the remains

tamales from el nopalito with refried beans and rice

Starting over with just Rod and I:

a wonderful chicken soup from that rotisserie chicken I bought a while back (I threw the carcass in the freezer)

I got to use the very cool wusthof santoku knife Rod gave me for Christmas to chop the vegetables!

tonight - I think it's tuna sandwiches as we have lots of good bread left.

Some Christmas highlights:

the rib roast at Tim and Lynne's accompanied by fabulous roasted vegetables and a gorgeous spinach salad contributed by Maureen

My African peanut stew, the beloved fish stew, steaks galore, for breakfast and dinner, blueberry waffles, lots of bacon, butternut squash lasagna, scratch mac and cheese, vegetable torte.

In a desperate hurry - I broke down and bought a rotisserie chicken, which will get a work out this week.

We got a whole 'nother pot of fabulous turkey soup from some delinquent wings.

A rerun of minestrone, it's such a favorite

Favorite quotes

In all things be thankful. Thessalonians, via Fr. Tim in the Mitford books.

Without change there would be no butterflies.

Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.
Faith Whittlesey

It's better to be happy than right.

You never know what the day will bring.

We all have different gifts. Celebrate yours.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can. John Wesley

Yesterday is history
tomorrow is a mystery
today is a gift
And that is why it's called the present!

dance as though no one is watching you,
love as though you have never been hurt before
sing as though no one can hear you.
live as though heaven is on earth.

Sometimes it may seem to us that there is no purpose in our lives, that going day after day for years to this office or that school or factory is nothing else but waste and weariness. But it may be that God has sent us there because, but for us, Christ would not be there. The Reed of God
