Here's my list of my other favorite things:


The Kitchen Aid Mixer.  L O V E  It is the first Christmas gift my husband bought me 15 or so years ago and it's still one of my favorite things in my kitchen.  Mine is white and the basic model.  Nothing fancy here but it can take all the attachments and is a whiz in the kitchen!  Can't imagine not having it.







Pan Am, the series.  I really look forward to Sunday nights.  This is the only hour long drama I watch and I am hooked.  I hear a rumor that the show may not be here for the long haul (& I hope it's just a rumor) but there are still a few more episodes that are supposed to be aired and I am going to enjoy them and ignore the nasty rumors.



The pomegranate.  I love a good pomegranate.  In it's pure state, eaten raw.  Just like you see here.  Yum!



Park City Mountain resort.  I love this place.  Love it.  So much to do, even if you're not a big skier it's just fabulous.  The perfect family vacation destination.  You will not regret a visit here.  Winter or summer.




Christmas carols.  My favorite carol is 'Silver Bells'.  And I kind of like to hear Elvis sing it! 

City sidewalks busy sidewalks .
 Dressed in holiday style
 In the air There's a feeling of Christmas
 Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile
And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear

Silver bells silver bells
 It's Christmas time in the city
 Ring a ling hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas day

Head on over to Melissa's and check out some more favorite things!

I love my kitchenaid too, could not live (or bake) without it. I think it is the best Christmas gift Joj has gotten me :0)

My KitchenAid is certainly a prized possession in my kitchen! Love it!

I was a little slow hopping on the Pomegranate bandwagon, but I tried Pomegranate for the first time a few weeks ago and LOVED it! I've got a salad recipe that has Pomegranate, Bacon, and Hazelnuts in a Maple Bacon Dressing that is wonderful. Pomegranates are my new favorite fruit. Love those juicy little seeds.

My Favorite Things....

Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things: David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good. Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12. Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so. Peets Coffee . I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :) Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us...

Monday, Monday...

Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t...

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro...
