When I was in Jersey last week I visited with my high school good buddy Nunzie......she had just had major surgery for a tumor where a tumor should never be but that didn't stop her from being at the kitchen island frying up chicken cutlets when I got there for dinner... She did order out for her favorite thing to eat and that is Cavatelli with Broccoli.... I think if she was given a choice between Cavatelli and Filet Mignon she would take the Cavatelli!! It was so tasty that I had multiple servings... When I got back home I had to try and re-create it. I have to say it was a big success.....as me and the Boss have decided we each need to lose an extra person we are attempting to eat a little healthier.....I said a little! Here's how I made it.... I took 1 small shallot and 1 clove of garlic and diced them very small.... I then sauteed them in a little olive oil....when they were softened I added a half a head of broccoli....just the florets...we don't like any part of the...

Who doesn't love "House Hunters".....you get to sit back and see inside people's homes....you get to see different style houses in different parts of the country and the best part......how the houses are decorated.....It's virtual house shopping......Well me and the Boss have turned this into an art... Not by choice......it has just happened.... We live in Atlanta but as everyone knows we would love to move back to the "Motherland" New Jersey We know.....who would want to actually move to N.J. but as you also know that's where daughter and Miss B reside..... We have been looking at homes for years now......some of you know why we haven't made the move yet and it's just too wacky for the rest of you to understand.... Let's just say it's a timing thing....... Anyhoo ..... everytime we visit Jersey we like to see what's on the market and we are very lucky to have a wonderful realtor who knows the situation and is perfectly fine with...

We are slowly becoming professional cat sitters.... Just getting back from Jersey where we had the pleasure of babysitting Miss Kitty for 10 days while the Jr. Fam jetted off to Italy.... Most people think we're crazy for sitting with a cat.... We know that daughter greatly appreciates this whenever her and the troops pack up for much needed vacations and we are more then happy to show up and take care of house and cat. Now I am not a cat person infact I have been known to despise cats.....Hey, they hiss...... But I have grown very fond of Miss Kitty and by gosh she actually likes me.... The minute I sit down on the sofa she is right there head butting me and I hear that's a sign of endearment.... With cat sitting also comes very nice benefits.......basically gifts from the trip.... Daughter never disappoints and always goes above and beyond to keep the folks happy.... This trip was no exception... Here are some of my goodies....... From Vietri.....this fabulous platter.

Welcome back to Weekends in Paris... Lucky for you that I'm running out of pictures! Along with beautiful architecture Paris has beautiful flowers everywhere you look.... and ofcourse a Cafe' on every corner..... How cute is this? We stumbled upon this cafe while wandering the winding streets up in Montmartre Flowers for sale on the Rue Mouffetard This was called the "Pacino" sunflower.... growing in the Jardin des Plantes not as colorful as the red gingham tables but quaint none the less... Parisians will set a table and chair on any sidewalk no matter how small... I love this guy....if I could have brought him home in my suitcase I would have.... Table for Two. just plain pretty It was wonderful being able to step out your door everyday and buy fresh flowers Another cute guy announcing the specials of the day... I hope you enjoyed today's offering and with only two more weeks to go..... Okay....keep the cheering to a minimum.... Next week we go on a scenic Roa...
