West Texas Sky

When I first moved here, the sky was so expansive that I thought surely I must have fallen off of the edge of the earth. It frightened me.

When I travel now I realize how much I miss it. It is truly amazing to be able to look out and see so much sky in so many directions.

Happy to return to this beautiful sky.



cranberries-- yummmmmmy!

it is the holiday season
and i have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much
that i am grateful for
 
and so i am going to share the love
and this amazing, quick and easy recipe for
cranberry sauce that i made up
that was SUPER ROCKIN'!
 

 
i mean, of course I would say that
but everyone else thought so, too
 
so, in your saucepan over medium high heat,
stir together
1/2 c of brown sugar
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c orange juice
1/2 c bourbon
and heat and stir till it bubbles
then add
1 bag fresh cranberries
lower the heat to medium and stir
until the cranberries pop
then add
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce
1 quart of fresh raspberries
and stir until it thickens
 
remove from heat,
serve warm or let it cool
 
either way, mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
super delish!
 
enjoy your time with friends, family, loved ones
and don't forget to share the love!
