I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Recipes

    Per the requests for the Chicken & Asparagus in Mushroom Creme Sauce...

    I will post the recipe BUT I first have to make it again with one change in ingredients. While the dish turned out delicious, hubby and I agreed that the "visual presentation" was somewhat lacking (i.e. - it looked kinda yukky but tasted kickass.)

    So...

    I plan to change one ingredient in the sauce that should make for a smoother, creamier look to the sauce instead of the lumpy look the first try revealed. If it turns out well then I'll post it for anyone adventurous enough to try it. (Actually its pretty easy and only has 5 ingredients in the whole dish.)

    :)

    Yes, indeed ... I find myself lusting heartily after that creamy concoction. I guess I'd better find my adventuresome streak and give that a try.

    Why do your posts always evoke sexual inuendo??

    She didn't have to. There was chicken involved. It's all about the breasts and thighs! :D
