I know I’m just now getting around to celebrating, but I’ve been very busy and I do what I can, when I can. I am very happy that we have gotten this far. It’s been a creative journey of fun and ideas. Gordon is working overseas and cannot be here to celebrate with me. But, we do converse on the phone most everyday and we bat around ideas for recipes and other projects that we are working on, long distance.

We do thank you and appreciate your interest in us and all that we do. Thank you so very much!

—————————————————————————–

Every year I ask Brodie and Mackenzie for a wall calendar for Christmas so that I can put it on my refrigerator to keep myself organized through the year. HOWEVER, they didn’t get me one this year. When I was out shopping shortly after Christmas I was looking around for a calendar but never found any. That is when I was going to order one from online, but when I went to the mailbox that day there was something from my honorary sister-in-law Sabina, who lives in Ireland, she sent me a wall calendar!!! 🙂

It is a lovely calendar of where they live in Ireland. It’s so nice and I wrote and thanked her. Yet, it wasn’t until I started writing on it that I noticed that it goes from Monday – Sunday. Not like ours. We go from Sunday – Saturday.

This is madness!!! How am I ever going to get used to this? Every time I look at it I keep wondering ‘why am I so busy on Sunday’s???’ That’s when I realize that on this calendar it is actually Monday’s!!!

Oh well, I’ll give it a go. But, I am an American, ya know? We were incapable of learning the metric system, so…..

And now for the real reason I am here…

Last summer Gordon brought back some boxes of things from Gordon’s parents and this drawing was mixed in with some old photos. It is a drawing that my mother-in-law, Sarajane Alderfer Whann drew and colored when she was a school girl. I liked it and placed it on the refrigerator. I think it goes very nicely with my bird calendar that Mackenzie gave me. The little bird magnet holding it up was done by my nephew, Joseph.

Pearl Harbor Day

December 7, 1941

80th. Anniversary

That is our flag flying above the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

That is Gordon, 3rd. from the Right

We lived in Hawaii for 13 years. Here Gordon is re-enlisting in the Navy. Veronica and I are here with him. He was so proud to do it here.

All along the wall are the names of the people that were killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Here Gordon is getting our flag signed by a Pearl Harbor survivor.

I do think it is sad that here is it the 80th. anniversary of the attack and not much was made of it. Perhaps Hawaii did more than we did here on the Mainland but this is how life is. Everything fades and then it’s forgotten. That’s just how it is. But, I didn’t expect it to fade in my lifetime.

Our Asian Infused (Inspired) 4th. of July

We Shot our 4th. on the 3rd. in Torrential Downpours. 🙂

We wanted to do this early because we had a hurricane headed our way and there is a lot going on with us right now that we’ve been very busy.

So, why an Asian inspired 4th.? Why not?

We love the Asian cultures. They have been a big part of building this country and making it into what it is. They contribute far more than the average person can ever know. They just don’t go around bragging about it like the white communities do.

This was just our way of acknowledging the many Asian communities that live here.

This is their country too.

Memorial Day

Sometimes people confuse Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. Memorial Day is about honoring those in the military that died while defending our country. Veteran’s Day, November 11th., is about honoring our living veteran’s.

Navy Grog

Gordon is a retired Navy Chief. We spent the majority of his career in Hawaii, 13 years there. So, when it came to creating a Memorial Day feast we chose a Hawaiian one. We pretty much just threw all of this together and made it up as we went along and had a blast doing so. 🙂 Besides, honoring those that died in Pearl Harbor was what our little feast was created from.

Our ONO Hawaiian Tray Bakes

Mahi-Mahi wrapped in our home grown herbs and banana leaves.

Democratic Pasta

I was going to make an excellent pasta dinner out of the above pasta, however, Gordon and I decided to grab dinner at O’Tooles, an Irish Pub, in honor of my Irish roots (Julie) and to commemorate the Irish Biden’s.

We did joke that we are happy that they planned their wedding on Dolly Parton’s birthday. 🙂

So, in addition to all of that, Brodie get’s his jury duty notice! 🙂

I myself, happen to LOVE Jury Duty!!!

OMG! I show up so bright and early with a big smile on my face and happy to contribute to my country’s democracy as I go through all the metal detectors and as they screen me! I am always armed with a smile and a good book, and a back up book, and a back up laptop, and a back up cell phone, and a back up Ipad!. Hey! I am prepared!

So, with this, I bid you a farewell for now. I envy my son for his jury duty assignment. So does his girlfriend Mackenzie. In her words, ” I love a good murder mystery.” A girl after my own heart!

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

This quote means a lot to me. This quote is why I stood up to my abusive parents. I kept waiting for them to give me the same equality that they gave my brothers but it never came. So, I demanded it. I still didn’t get it. Therefore I left them and I have never looked back.

I didn’t lose a good father. I lost an abusive step-father. I didn’t lose a good mother. I lost a mother that has abused me for over half a century. I didn’t lose anything good. But they did.

New Year’s Day

We made it to 2021.

That is very lucky considering everything that is going on right now in our country and the world.

In the south we celebrate New Year’s Day with a Linner, my word for Lunch and Dinner combined, which consists of any version of Black Eyed Peas to bring us luck, and any version of Collard Greens to bring us money, Cornbread (Duh!), and any kind of meat such as Keilbasa in a Hoppin’ John, leftover Christmas Ham, or in our case, fried SPAM! 🙂

Cornbread with Onions, Cottage Cheese, and Broccoli

Oh, and everything is usually eaten in a few bowls.

My pathetic fire works display. I actually think that it is very representative of the new year to come. Some sparkler’s would never work, some fizzled out quickly, and some only blew smoke my way. But there was one that did it’s best to shine brightly. I guess that’s called hope.

2021, we have no where to go but up!

(Actually, that’s not quite true. Things can always get worse. I’m not a downer, I’m a realist.)

You can’t talk about Jeff without acknowledging his car. It’s a classic. He just did sent Gordon this latest photo of it. He’s had it forever. But, if you think about it, he being a car mechanic he is able to fix it and work on it without being beholden to some dealership where cars are now computerized where we are beholden to the dealership to fix them for us. Computer chips embedded in our automobiles that decide when we need oil changes, tire changes, and regular maintenance. That’s one reason why I like my 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe. 🙂 I’ve got my boy Brodie to work on my car so that I am not beholden to some dealership.

Happy Birthday Brodie!

28 Today!

Brodie and Mackenzie Babysitting Loki

Brodie and Mackenzie are very often babysitters of this dog, Loki, and they will spend anywhere from a weekend to 2 weeks doing so. And whenever they do they take advantage of the lake they live on and do some kayaking. But they also do some grilling. Here are some of the foods that we sent over to Mackenzie’s parents as a thank you for hosting Brodie for a few months while he and Mackenzie find a place to live starting next year.

When we were hosting Mackenzie during the lockdown, her parents were very generous to send us all a cooler full of foods. Steaks, potatoes, lots of red meat stuff that I don’t eat so I can’t even name the kinds of red meat foods but, Gordon, Brodie and Mackenzie loved them all and that is all that matters. 🙂 And I did so love the fancy baked potatoes.

So, when Brodie and Mackenzie were dog sitting Loki they took over the hamburgers and hot dogs that we had sent over in the food cooler, to grill out.

It makes me happy that they enjoyed them so much.

Although we have something nice for Brodie this year, we can never go wrong by giving him food. 🙂

I wrapped Brodie’s nice Rice Cooker and he gets a big bag of Basmati Rice and a bottle of Kraken Rum.

I went shopping in our bathtub for the rum. Only those that read my blogs will understand that statement. 🙂

So, happy birthday to my baby boy Brodie!

Love, Mom and Dad

Patriot’s Day

I suppose that Patriot’s Day was created in honor of 9/11. It’s interesting that we’ve been living a 9/11 over and over again since February but having an invisible threat that kills people just doesn’t seem to upset the population as much as airplane’s full of Arabs do.

Another misconception of a lot of American’s is that the person who flies the biggest flag is somehow more patriotic than another who doesn’t. Some people just wear their patriotism on the inside. They don’t feel the need to flaunt it. I realize that on some of our July 4th. posts that we go all out with the Americana. That is because some of our posts are parody, and parody is just an exaggeration. The real Julie and Gordon are more reserved when it comes to pledging our allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. But on that note we do acknowledge Patriot’s Day on this September 11, 2020.

AND,

I also added something to my:

Julie Vintage and Treasure Hunting Continues

I also have a very fun project that I will get to soon that I want to add to this post as well where I am going to turn one of my vintage suitcases into a jewelry box.

I miss working on projects. We’ve been doing so much food lately that I want to get back to some of my crafts. I miss working on them.

I knew that I had neglected Thanksgiving content over the past few years and I wanted to catch up on it. That is when I realized that we did a nice Mexican inspired Thanksgiving that I had forgotten about. Hence, the new blog post.

Labor Day

A photo from the movie Picnic starring Kim Novak. I love this photo. It just reminds me of those old picnic’s that I would go to with my grandparents and great-grandparents when I was little in Georgia. The pretty food, the nice clothing, the pretty picnic spot with all the lovely ladies always attending to me. Which Is why I created a new post today:

Picnic’s

Can’t wait to work on it.

Happy Birthday Brian!

Our son-in-law’s birthday is today. We really couldn’t think of anything that he would want so I wrote our daughter Veronica and asked what foods she and Brian would like, and she told me Rib Eye Steaks. O.K. We then took it from there and created an entire dinner with the works! It was fun!

4 Rib Eye Steaks, Idaho Potatoes, Texas Toast, Baguette, Dozen Eggs, Red Grape Tomatoes, Multi-Colored Heirloom Mini-Tomatoes, Purple Lettuce, Green Lettuce, Shredded Carrots, Bell Peppers, Lots of Corn-on-Cob, Blue Corn Chips, Blue Crab Salsa, Our Dill Pickles, Bag of Onions, Some Russian Tea, Bag of Gummy Sharks, Pecan Pie, Butter Pecan Ice Cream…..

We were thinking, Salad, Dinner, and Birthday Dessert.

With Leftovers…

Happy 35 Brian!

Happy Birthday Kona!

Kona was our very first dog as a family. I grew up with lots of dogs, usually entire packs, but as a family we have not had that many dogs. Kona, our Black Lab was given to Brodie for his 8th. birthday from my parents when we were living in Maryland. Kona grew to be about 142 pounds. He was so tall and big and loyal and sweet. He loved us very much and we have never forgotten him. He died years ago. Thank you Kona for being such a good dog and being such a great member of our family. We will miss you forever. Kona was born August 28, 2000, so was our niece Kate Jude.

Kate Jude Lancaster Ryan

Happy Birthday Kate! Look out for her to be something great. I promise it!

They were so scared and worried. They threw up, pooped, and urinated in every room in the house they were so upset and worried. They also kept looking at me with those sweet little scared faces. I put them in a chair next to me while I wrote to Gordon overseas and I was sending him their pictures. He fell in love instantly!

Happy 33rd. Birthday to our Daughter, Veronica!

In addition to her regular birthday gifts, I wanted to pass along some things to her from when she was a baby for her to keep forever. For example the framed photograph of the 3 of us in our backyard in Honolulu, Hawaii. Some delicious Hawaiian Host chocolates that we love so much. And her silver baby cup and two baby spoons. It took us forever to clean that silver cup. 🙂

Sadly, because we are still in lockdown we just drive things over to their house and leave them outside their front door. We do long for the day when we can safely see each other again.

July 6, 2020 is also the anniversary of our website debut. I do have something fun planned to commemorate it but it’s taking longer than I thought it would to get together. But, I’m working on it. 🙂 Happy 9 years to us!

I came across this needlepoint which I think was done by my old friend Judy from Sevierville. I had forgotten all about it. It is very beautiful. She took the time to make it. No one does that nowadays. No one bothers.

35 years. So hard to believe that we have been married for so long. Just yesterday we were young but not anymore. 🙂 Gordon is preparing a nice meal for us, and for Brodie and Mackenzie. I’ll bring it to you soon.

Happy Easter!

Nellie Mae Keith Haskin

Today is my deceased Grandmother’s birthday. She always loved it when her birthday fell on Easter Sunday. I wish she were still here with us but I never forget her and in fact I based our Easter this year on all those happy Easter’s that I had growing up with her and my Grandfather and Great-Grandparents in Rome, Georgia. I also based our Easter on a favorite restaurant in Dahlonega, Georgia where we lived for a few years in my youth. The restaurant was called The Smith House. I created a new post based on our Easter and I cannot wait to do the write ups, but if you know me then you know I will get around to it eventually.

——————————————————-

I also updated the home page with some new current posts. Some need some work from when they were switched over from the old website to the new one. I will get around to those this month as well as working on some new posts.

I hope that everyone has a nice day,

Julie

Cooking with Brodie and Mackenzie, Onion Soup

Whenever Brodie walks by I call him over to ask him what they did here in this photo, and how much olive oil was used in this other photo? Brodie is more like a Gordon Ramsey, he just wants to make and create and not write anything down or pose for photos. Just capture him while he’s in his element. Yeah, right! 🙂

I’m doing my best here!

February Calendar

——————————————————-

February 28, 2020

I have spent the past few hours updating my home page with some Spring and Easter posts. Some of them I need to tweak and update. When I transferred my website over to a new format last year some of the colors of the posts are just too light to read properly so I need to fix those. There is always something! 🙁

But, I do the best that I can given that most of the time I am a one woman team.

And in my case there is an “I” in Team.

Nice weekend ahead for us. Looking forward to it! 🙂

T.G.I.F.!

Our son Brodie and his girlfriend Mackenzie finally decided to take me up on a offer I had been making them for about a year….. “Would you guys like to start a blog post on my website? I’d love it if you would. It’ll be fun!”

So, after countless heeing and hawing, they finally said YES!

Well, here it is! They are also debuting an excellent Onion Soup. 🙂

——————————————————-

February 18, 2020

I just did finish…….

Granted, I probably need to look for spelling errors and Gordon does have a fritter recipe to write up but other than that it is finished.

I have also been noticing that so many of my blogs that originally had photo backgrounds need to be reworked. When my guys in India redid my website and removed all those background photos I had a lot of light colored printing on each page which now is very hard to read on a white background. It’s such a pain but I have been spending a bit of time trying to change the coloring so that it can be read more easily. I have so many posts on my website that there are probably many that I need to fix but I do the best that I can.

I now want to work on updating some already existing blog posts and then I will probably tackle a big one. I’ll let you know what all I have done and what I am working on. Just keep tuning in here.

Julie

p.s. NOW it’s all finished!
