Reading/Listening/Watching
My shows this week have been the depressing news, and for a diversion of all the bad in the world, I have been watching Worse Cooks in America. It is a fun show that does not require any concentration. If you have not checked it out, give it a try. I watch it on Hulu
Another show I am binging on right now is pretty intense. It is called Clickbait and I am watching it on Netflix
What am I reading right now?
So far The Land of Roar is a good Middle Grade Book
I ended up DNFing the Soulmate Equation. It just was not my type of book. I made it nearly to the end and found myself skimming the content and not caring so I just quit. I would describe it as a slightly off-color sitcom.
What am I listening to on Audible?
I am listening to The Hit List by Holly Seddon. I finished it last night. It was a pretty good listen. I would give it a 3.5 on my reading scale out of 5.
Family
Last weekend we celebrated Maggie and Caleb's birthdays. I can't believe they are already 5 and 10.
Exercise
Mostly I am walking, hiking for exercise.
Travel
We went to Wilmington NC and to Wrightsville Beach. We had a blast. We visited the aquarium at Fort Fisher. Check out my post here
Food
I enjoyed some delicious food this week.
On our trip to the beach, we stopped at Marina Grill in Wilmington, NC, and had a delicious meal. I had the Lobster roll, and Erica ordered the fish tacos. Jane, of course, had the mac and cheese. Marina Grill is a nice restaurant; check out my blog post on the visit here..Marina Grill.
As you know, I get Home Chef, a subscription meal service. I very much enjoy this subscription box. It would be so easy for me to just have a sandwich or a bowl of cereal, but this service helps me make healthy meals. Yesterday I made Chicken and Fig with Bacon Jam...
Tomorrow I am making Goat Cheese and Walnut Crusted Steak and Shallot Demi Sauce-looks good!
Here is a link if you want to give this service a try. If you try Home Chef with my link, you get $35 off your first box, and I get a $35 credit, which is a win-win. Home Chef Link
I am trying to find a good Banana Bread Recipe. I have selected 3 moist banana bread recipes to try. My hope is to find one I can put in my family recipe book. Wish me luck.
I honestly can't tell you the name of the trail that Erica and took on our hike. You go to the Linville Falls Visitors Center, turn left, and take the path down. After doing a bit of research, I think it is the Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail. It is a more challenging trail then the hike to the right of the visitor center, although that one is lovely. I have done this hike a couple of times. Always fun. Just in case it is Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail here is some info on that hike found on Asheville Trails Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail "The hike departs from the Linville Falls visitor center, located off the Blue Ridge Parkway at MP 316 ( view maps and driving directions ), hanging a left in front of the visitor center. The trail splits almost immediately at a signed junction: the Dugger Falls Trail veers left, and the Plunge Basin Overlook and Gorge Floor Trail turns right. The hike follows signs to the overlook, trailing e...
This blast from the past was written back in 2016. Wow, where does the time go? I checked to make sure it is still open, and it is. Happy day! Linville Falls Winery After our somewhat strenuous hike down to the lower falls of Linville Gorge, Erica and I decided to reward ourselves with a visit to a local Winery, Linville Falls Winery All the way up the Gorge Trail on this somewhat warm fall day, we kept encouraging ourselves with the promise of wine and relaxation. And it was just as we imagined...wonderful:-) Here is a description from their website. "Family owned and operated, Linville Falls Winery is the culmination of a life-long passion for wine by owner, Jack Wiseman. Wiseman has dreamed of growing grapes and opening a winery for more than 25 years, and now he and his family are pioneering a new High Country wine in Linville, North Carolina. Nestled in the lower end of Avery County near the Blue Ridge Parkway is a state of the art tasting room...
I love to try new recipes. If I don't sit down and make a list of new recipes to try or old recipes to re-explore, I will not make an effort to try the foods that sound delicious to me. So that is what I decided to do. I am going to make a list and try to accomplish everything on it during March. (The photos below are as close as I could get to the actual recipe. I found them on Canva) In my March Recipe Challenge, I have recipes ranging from breakfast to dessert and everything in between. Breakfast- Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole Soups/chili- Crack Potato Soup Pizza/Sandwiches- The Best BLT Appetizer- Baked Potatoe Slices Salad- Blueberry Spinach Salad Entree- Cream Cheese Chicken Enchiladas Veggies- Baked Zucchini Parmesan Casserole Breads/Rolls/Muffins- Texas Roadhouse Copycat Rolls Seafood- Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Salmon Crock-Pot- Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy Grill- Grilled Lobster Tail Dessert- Banana Bundt Cake Yummy Drink- Frozen Banana Da...
