simply vintageous...by Suzan

People beware - there's a lot of us running amok out there..............
I am guilty on all counts!

At least now I know how it all started - oh the neighbours all knowing I was always late is just
mortifying to me now, looking back!

AND. I. DON'T. LIKE. HELEN.
Too perfect for me - goody 2 shoes - even if she knows how to match her clothes

And by the way I'm notorious for interrupting people!

And if I had ever met that commentator I would have crapped my pants
in terror - that voice - that attitude - how did girls survive this?
Soooo scary - it sounds like one of those horror movies where
a perfectly sane person is being locked up - while this patronizing
voice is droning on in the background, lol.

We've come a long way, baby

But I am off to buy a nailbrush tomorrow. My nails really are a disgrace.
And like Barbara, it's far too late for tears now

Oh and last night I was cleaning the kitchen and decided it was time to throw out a small cutting board I've had forever - when I thought I'd just stencil it instead and see how it turned out -

and this is how it turned out

I'm really loving my stencil - best one I've bought so far :)
Wouldn't this make a cute Hostess gift - with little jars of...............you guessed it - parsley, sage.................

Here's the stencil I purchased - it comes with 2 sheets - 1 for small and 1 for caps - aren't they great?
Think I paid 15.00 ( but really not sure, at a local craft store here in Montreal )

The sprig of Rosemary ( yeah that's what we'll call it, ok? ) was just free hand - I want to laugh out loud at that
because I can't even draw a stick man - but sprigs of something I'm ok with -

Aghhhhh - I'm choking here - really I'm choking on my laughter -
And I promise this will be the last one for awhile - but I swear this is the funniest one yet.

I decided to post the process of our dinner this evening - without telling him
because he already thinks I should be committed somewhere - and he just doesn't " get " blogging,
he really is a very personal person - keeps things to himself - where as my life story is an open book,
always has been - always will be -

Ok - I am not a chef - nor am I an expert with food - but I know what I like - and I know how to make
it appetizing and pretty at the same time................

So we started off with a small Pork Tenderloin - that I cut into small pieces and wrapped in bacon

With Montreal Steak Spice and parsley - not sure if this is sold in the States but you can get it across Canada and it's the best steak spice I swear -

And some garlic jumbo shrimp................

Potatoes and green and yellow beans....................

For the potatoes I just strained them - and mixed in butter - some garlic - some Montreal Steak Spice ( I seriously love this stuff, lol ) and some parsley

and for the beans I added olive oil - with some oregano and parmesan cheese -

Now I'm running around frantically taking these pictures while he's outside with the bar-b-que
And I didn't realize he had come in and was standing behind me

John says - You're not.
Suzan says - Oh you scared me - don't sneak up on my like that John
John says - You're not doing what I'm thinking you're doing
Suzan says - what?
John says - You're not taking a picture of the potatoes for your blog - pls tell me you're not doing this
Suzan says - Well I've noticed lots of people post photos of their meals and add the recipe as they go
John says - This is borderline now - you realize that, right? Absolutely borderline - and if you think people give a damn what your having for supper then you're losing your grip on reality my girl, in fact I think it's long gone now anyway.
Suzan says - It's not that their interested in what I'm eating John - I'm just sharing a recipe really
John says - But I just saw you take a picture of the potatoes - why can't you just type the recipe in - why do people have to see a bowl of potatoes? Do you think they're stupid? Surely they know what they look like?
Suzan says - So forget it - I won't post the photo of the potatoes - you're really making a big deal out of this.
Suzan says - can you cut up Soda's food please
John - why, are you going to take a picture of what the dog eats?

Yep - that I am -

and just then the batteries died in the camera - and he was sitting down to eat his meal

Suzan says - STOP - do not eat a bite of that yet - my batteries died
John says - Ok Suzan - enough is enough
Suzan says - I'm going to change the batteries - don't eat until I take a photo
and I run out of the kitchen - change the batteries - but it was too late
John says - I put up with a lot for the sake of your blog - I'm not going to start eating cold suppers
Suzan says - thanks a lot - bon appetit -

and I took a picture of mine instead - but I made his extra pretty because I staged it for photos
