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

Life's Too Short
- to look back with regret
- to read a book you're not totally engaged in
- to buy cheap packing tape
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.
