Winter Slaw is the best!
and the easiest, when you have one of these..
YUM!
Then there is that expensive "chillin" box that we bought for
the kitchen re-model
"cabinet depth, stainless steel, side by side"
PAIN IN THE NECK!
We have had it "fixed" twice...
and still, the little door that allows ice to be dispensed
doesn't close well enough to keep the ice from becoming a solid mass...
So....we struggle to get the ice handler out to defrost it...
chop the ice off the inside mechanism...
run cool water over the ice handler/boxie thingy
make sure that the button works again..
put a piece of plastic down to cover the floor...
and together we work on fixing the ice maker....
DO NOT BUY THIS KITCHENAID!
Ah....on to better things...
a gift of hen eggs from a farmer friend...
a completed apron for a friend of mine...
who has taken up cake decorating
(maybe she will make me one!)
An opportunity to give a sweet young couple a family portrait...
My first Apple Tart...
Yes, it is not my recipe, but "her's"
A rose from my sweetie
A lovely couch that I found at a used stuff store...
clean it up...and I know right where to put it...
In my office!
hangin out with Not Yo Momma...
Just below the flower posters I bought years ago from
Martha...
Inspired me to clean the ol' place up...
find a place for everything...
and everything in it's place...
dust it off..
organize...
under the watchful eye of my sweetie...
And Wha-Laa!
I feel like a new person...
amazing how good being busy feels...

Ellen- I think the tart was fine....it disappeared...
ReplyDeleteKathy-don't you love how fast it works it's magic?
Julie- Looking forward to your return!...smiles
i think i might have to lie down...that was a lot of activity!
ReplyDeletei love the winter slaw too, but am grateful for the fact that here there are no gimmick refrigerators. just plain old ordinary ones without bells & whistles.
you make me want to get organized. maybe tomorrow.
:-)

Love that lonely egg shot. That's impressive. I also liked the colors in the slaw. Now I'm feeling very unorganized.
ReplyDeletejulochka-I too think I should lie down now....
ReplyDeleteJessica- there is at least 50 years of stuff I need to organize.....
smiles, Ellen
I love this post!! What a great catch up on your life! That's too bad about the ice maker. What a pain!! The same thing happened to my dad when he bought his ice maker. Ugh. the office looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWow, Ellen, you have been busy! Love the portrait you created and all the other good things. You go, Girl!
ReplyDeleteI loved this post! Now I really must tackle that bedroom that is starting to become a catch all. Oh, and maybe all of those pictures that need to go into albums... yay Spring!
ReplyDeleteLove the post! I feel like I'm there with you, eating slaw, chatting on the couch, chipping ice, and smelling those yummy pencils in the cute white holder...
