While heading into the Kinko's (it's hard for me to call it Fed-Ex Kinko's...) to make some color copies. This guy was in the parking lot and a crowd was beginning to gather around his incredible magic vehicle! He told us he did not watch much tv and this kept him out of trouble and busy. I asked him too pose, that I was doing the Project 365...he knew exactly what I was talking about and confided that he too had a Flickr acct....I may look for him.
If anyone would like to exchange Valentine Cards let me know. As is very obvious, I am going through a second childhood or a very extended flash back. I am not sure, but it is a lot of fun.
This is a conglomerate of a lot of things I was just trying out. You will not have to make a home made card for me, but you will receive a very unique piece of "mail art" from me (if I can keep a straight face and even calling it that!)

I am weary of the awful produce you find at Walmart and Kroger. Well, Walmart mostly. I knew there had to be a produce market open somewhere around here! I caught wind of one on River Rd. but was unable to find it. So, I googled and found this one. Maybe I will find the one on River Raod when I receive more clues.
I bought strawberries, grapefruit, peaches and an eggplant!
Around Christmas time my daughter asked me to make some Peanut Butter cookies, her favorite. As a Christmas present. As terrible as it sounds, I never got around to it. Last week J. asked me to bake some store bought refrigerator roll cookies, chocolate and peanut butter for the crews at his work.
As a reward for no accidents. In their lingo, 00.
So I obliged him and for two nights in a row I baked.
This week-end I recalled Bridgets request with some guilt and whipped up a batch of home made, mouth watering, the most colossal, sumptuous, magnificent, cookies extraordinaire, beyond compare...the ultimate cookie of all cookies....the Shaker Peanut Butter Cookie.
I know you scoff at the idea, but it is true. So true, that I have been making them non stop since Saturday afternoon! J. took the tin to work (sorry Bridget) because he did not want them in the house as they are too tempting.
The next day he asked if I could make some more, the night crew heard about the cookies and felt left out, slighted. I made a double batch. J. called from work the next day, the cookies, all eight dozen gone by 930 am and a lot of disgruntled people shaking the crumbs out of the cookie tins.
A second double batch was made last night and sent. Today he called and asked, begged, just one more time, please!!! The cookies are legendary now and the demand has increased.
Who am I? Paula Dean! I need two strapping young men in my kitchen doing all the work while I receive all the accolades.
Anyway, the final double batch was whipped up in the kitchen and the secret ingredient was added.....
J. will hint that the reason they are so divine is because of that magic ingredient, but he will not tell them what it is.
But I'll tell you, it's love.
(Bridget did receive her batch too!)
General Breckenridge at Cherokee Triangle
I told myself yesterday that I would focus on the color red this week for the Project 365 and like magic I found this! Someone probably thought it was hilarious to put a hat on the General's horse. An orange caution cap.
Oh the shame!
I am trying (again, I got to mid-Feb last year) to participate in the Project 365. A picture a day for the entire year.
This is 028/365. Bridget hamming it up with the desert menu....TBC
