"Singing is like a celebration of oxygen." ~ Bjork
NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes...and love getting recipes you would like to share!
Last night was our granddaughter's fall choir concert... always fun to see and hear her singing. It was a special bonus to also see her drawing on display.
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
I was just going through some old photos and found one of my husband's mother's ginger creams, one of his favorites. This photo dates back to before I was posting recipes online. I figured since this is a family recipe I should record it!
