We do not need another mug in the house. I have already said this on Twitter after I bought – yes, bought this mug. I really liked everything about it. The color, the design, the shape, the size, and the fact that the handle is high on the mug itself. It is a great mug. I like to use all our different mugs, but I do have a few favorites and this is now one of them.
And then last week I posted how I love our winters and was reminded by a friend that it is actually fall – snap! My point was that our winters are mellow (not much different than fall/autumn) and both seasons bring temps that actually allow me to sit outside in the sun. I enjoyed the rest of my coffee outside while listening to a book.
What I find funny when I look at the mug is, I bought it loving the bird on it, but didn’t even notice the heart until I got it and really looked at it. There are a few hearts on it. It is a great mug . . . even though it was not needed. 🙂
Does your household have a lot of mugs? What are you reading/listening to?




This is not a recipe at all . . . it is more of an idea. The other night I was trying to decide on a side to eat with our ground turkey (with mushrooms) and I decided to go with pasta since I didn’t want to turn on the stove AND the oven. Then I saw that I needed to use some Roma tomatoes that were going to start to go bad so I thought I would just add them to my husband’s ground turkey . . . I am not a fan of cooked tomatoes, but I thought he would enjoy it. But when I looked at the tomatoes I decided I need to use all three and not just one so then I thought, well, I will just throw them in the pasta after it has cooked and mix it up with a bit of cheese. Then I thought, I could just slice them and put them on top. Then I thought I could layer the mozzarella. Then I thought . . . dang, I could just turn it into a “bruschetta type” pasta and add basil and balsamic.
