nacho typical polenta
/
I tried polenta for the first time. I got some pre-made polenta at the grocery store. I slices some up and fried it in a pan with butter. I added salt and pepper. Then got the idea to add some shredded cheese and finally some diced tomatoes. It was like nachos but filling. I might try toasting without the butter next time.

one serving?
/
I know it looks like a lot but I measured the past before I cooked it and it did say 2/3 cup dry whole wheat penne along with Classico Sun-dried Tomato Pesto. Also included is one cup of broccoli cooked and 4 oz of salmon.
Yes, I was stuffed the whole afternoon.

autumnal tote
/
Another way to "force" the seasons to change in Florida is wardrobe. It's still rather warm so we are still wearing shorts and sandals, but now we switch to fall type colors, browns and burnt orange. Actually, I wear the same colors all year round so I just switch my purse.

catalogs
/
Another sign of the changing seasons is the abundance of catalogs in my mailbox. This is the haul from one day. Even though I have used Catalog Choice to reduce the number of catalogs I get, there are still too many. I can't even remember the last time I used a catalog to place an order. If I can't do it online, I don't bother.

dry hands
/
I found my hands have been dry lately. Could be a number of reasons but I am putting it down to fall. My favorite hand creme is from l'Occitane but it's expensive and I make a tube last for years! I found an old favorite from Neutrogena but it feels waxy and I don't care for the smell. I used to like the lotions from William-Sonoma but since I got the one from l'Occitane, the lavender just isn't the same. I wish I could find something that smells like the almond-cherry soap at Panera. I tried the Jergens but there is still the Jergens smell behind the almond-cherry. My nose and hands are snobs.

red maple leaf

We don't really have fall in central Florida. The leaves don't shed their leaves until February and are only bare a few weeks before the buds reappear. So finding signs of autumn is not so easy especially when it's still 80+ degrees outside.

his shadow
/
Figures that the sun hides when the theme is shadows. But this afternoon it was out as well as some neighbors. I asked the boys to play with their shadows and they were happy too cooperate. Probably because their parents don't shove the lens in their face every chance they get.

punch & kicks
/
For some reason Andy calls calisthenics punch & kicks. And he likes to do them in the neighbor's driveway. Probably for the echo from the closed garage door. Silly but cute.

I am having computer issues and didn't get a chance to take a photo today. And most of photos are on the other computer inaccessible at the moment. So I went to my special cache and found a favorite from 2003. No pp, just SOOC jpeg.
I tried but I just couldn't not post anything. ;)
