Ice Cream Castles

Post Christmas, Pre New Year ramblings:

a) Biff loves to play Grinch as he's not been behaving the last few days. Just because I haven't mentioned doesn't mean he hasn't made his appearance known this holiday season. Even when I satiate his sweet, he still rears his head ( I can only keep him at bey for so long). To wit..

2)  I had some mouth-watering, delicious double chocolate cake for breakfast from my amazing mother Janice Salisbury My taste buds liked it, Melissa approved, Biff didn't. Now if I could just have World-Class chocolate ice cream without going to Topeka or Olathe, for dinner)  To wit..

iii) I want to start a petition or whatever it takes to get a Baskin-Robbins back here to Lawrence. I know I would be a frequent visitor and patron.

E) Does anyone know of a restaurant in town that serves panna cotta and so is it any good. (going on a self-taught class/experiment on dessert-making in between class). This desire comes thanks to Chopped, Top Chef and other cooking shows so I'll like to try it and Melissa has no objections ). Anyone with recipes is welcome to submit.

Back to the couch to the Vicodin and Biff duke it out in my abdomen. Hope you had a great Christmas so far and a happy New Year if I don't talk to you before then (any bets on the odds of that happening)


Carry on..

So Happy Together

Do me a favor dear followers;put aside the anger and frustration of the current snowy conditions and go with me:

Look outside now. What do you see? White ground, white trees, white leaves and basically a white sky. Everything is the same, harmonious and together. This doesn't happen very often so drink it in. Right now, the normal variations and differences in aspects of nature are uniform. Personally I think it’s beautiful and peaceful to look at and kind of puts me at ease considering all the things in the world, both mine and all over.

I am aware that it causes logistical problems, medical problems and becomes a general inconvenience but please, for me, look at the vision of the world that I described and that Mother Nature has given to us

If nature can work together to show us beauty, why can't we. I am not asking you to forget about or dismiss the things in life that cause consternation, I’m just saying  please, for me, look at the world that I described.  Breathe and drink it in and appreciate it, send your brain on a brief snowy respite.

Then go back to your problems, issues, differences or whatever with a renewed sense that amidst all things in life that have and do  occur to and around us, nature indeed can turn all of its different colors and scenes into one uniform vision of beauty and peace.

Thank you for taking the time.
