Birdie it is.

I made her costume out of

hot glued to an old one piece black velour onesie
with legs cut off.

I also added feathers to old black leggings.

I glued random colored real feathers here and there.

beef+carrot stew

2011-10-31T01:12:00.010-04:00

How about that snowstorm?

Quite a doozy.

Surprisingly, school is cancelled tomorrow.

Some towns are cancelling Halloween.

Crazy, right?

Down wires + a bunch of kids on the road could

no fun.

So the best thing I did was make this

Beef Stew with Carrots

for our Saturday eve in.

The recipe is from

APPLES for JAM

by Tessa Kiros

It was so so delish

with mashed potatoes

String beans

apple free form pie with vanilla icecream for dessert.

I highly recommend.

Beef Stew with Carrots

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 pounds beef round, or stewing beef, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes

salt

1 red onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons butter

2 cloves garlic, chopped

4 thyme sprigs

1/2 cup light red wine

1/2 cup canned tomato sauce

3 cups hot water

3 carrots, peeled and cut diagonally into 1 1/2 inch chunks

Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole. Add the beef and brown it over high heat until it is deep golden on all sides, salting the done parts as you go. Add the onion and fry until it is lightly browned and looking a bit sticky. Add the butter, garlic, and thyme, and cook until you can smell the garlic. Add the wine. Cook until it has evaporated, and then add the tomato sauce.

Add 3 cups of hot water and bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat to minimum, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, giving it a stir now and then. The meat should be soft and there should be a good amount of liquid. Add the carrots and sprinkle them with a little salt. Cook uncovered for another 20- 30 minutes, until the carrots are cooked all the way through but not collapsing, the meat is meltingly soft, and the sauce fairly thickened.

Remove from the heat, leave the lid off for 10 minutes or so and then serve with mashed potatoes.

Serves 4.

OH and Happy Halloween!

chimney sweep deluxe

2011-10-18T03:16:00.003-04:00

This post is surely not for everyone

but I must share the most

interesting experience.

We had a fireplace chimney and our furnace chimney

cleaned yesterday by the most fascinating

fellow named Terry

(quite the character)

from Chimney Corners.

(Phone number: 203-853-2003)

Write that number down and call right away

if you want a proper cleaning done folks.

I have never in all of my years of having various sweeps

clean our chimneys seen anything

like what I saw yesterday afternoon.

This man pulled out all kind of animal carcasses

out of the chimney.

I nearly jumped out the window when I saw the giant,

charcoaled squirrel....there it was on my living room floor

(on a nice tarp)

with the other petrified creatures.

Bird, bat and squirrel are what I could recognize.

Everett was unafraid and in awe of this man.

He went to town cleaning.

He said others don't go where he goes...

some shelf up the chimney to be exact.

Terry was like Dick Van Dyke

on the roof with all kinds of brushes.

I am telling you it was a sight

and quite refreshing to see

a person take his work so seriously.

I will never use another

sweep again.

Get on the horn and call Chimney Corners

and ask for Terry.

Here are some snaps:

Terry on arrival.

The squirrel and see the bat on the left?

OMG.

Everett and squirrely.

Terry and Everett and squirrel again.

Terry on the roof.

One of his great brushes.

Wow.

rad tuna hum sandwich

2011-10-17T02:22:00.001-04:00

I made this amazing, Barefoot Contessa inspired

sandwich yesterday for lunch. Actually,

I made it four times in four days.

Ina makes hers with

homemade everything:

bread

tuna

hummus.

I made mine with:

Wave Hill Bread

Village Market made tuna

Trader Joe's Roasted Garlic Hummus.

Here is the recipe:

Toast the bread of your choice until a smidge brown.

Spread bread with hummus.

Then spread with tuna.

Arrange thinly sliced radish on top.

Grind fresh ground pepper on radish slices.

Serve open-faced with chips if you want.

Yum.

I went to a little tomato canning

class a couple of weeks ago.

I was utterly inspired!

Our crop of tomatoes was a bust this year

so I got a box of not-so-hot tomatoes

for way too much $ from I will not say where.

(They did redeem so I am not as ticked as I was)

I was able to can 4 jars from that lot and then

found some beauties that I let ripen on my dining room table

for a few days as it should be.

So I canned tomatoes twice...

an old pro with the process embedded in my brain.

It truly is so easy.

Now I have 8 jars of tomatoes come cold tomato-less dead o'winter!

Here are the snaps of my process!

sterilized jars right out the dishwasher's sanitize cycle

ripe tomatoes

seedless and quartered toms draining

fresh basil from our garden on the bottom, then toms, then salt ready... for bath

my new canning pot with roaring boiling water

canned tomatoes!

downton abbey

2011-09-21T13:42:00.005-04:00

Another thing I'm hooked on:

Downton Abbey.

A British television series that aired on

Masterpiece Theater

here in the states back in the spring.

I stumbled upon it on the Netflix "play it now",

started watching and could not get enough of it.

I didn't know how much of a following it had here and in the UK.

(Cathrin are you hooked????)

Julian Fellowes is the writer.

He wrote Godsford Park starring

Dame Maggie Smith..love her.

Here is the trailer of series 1 which again is available on Netflix.

Below you will find the trailer to series 2.

It's due to air on Masterpiece Theater
January 8, 2012

I can hardly wait.

nothin' but

2011-09-20T12:55:00.003-04:00

I'm hooked!

I found Nothin' But granola + bars at

The Westport Farmer's Market

last Thursday.

I have been meaning to stop by the

booth and boy am I glad I did.

The nicest gal named Jerri

makes the delicious granola

which comes in a variety of flavors:

coconut, chocolate, almond

(super yum...perfect when you need a fix o'chocolate)

ginger, lemon, cashew

cherry, cranberry, almond

(I sprinkled a bunch on greek yogurt + honey...so so tasty)

If you are local...you must find Jerri at

The Westport Farmer's Market

on Thursdays 10-2pm

or if you are far

shop at the site.

slippers from lithuania

2011-09-19T09:28:00.002-04:00

I ordered these slippers from this

etsy shop.

They are the

coziest, comfiest wool slippers I have ever worn.

They are well made

with a silicone sole so you won't slip.

Ramune makes them in

Lithuania.

Ramune is going to Greece until October 10th.

So if you want a pair...I would order now

as he is very busy come pre-holiday season.

Everett wants a pair in yellow...

no problem...all our custom made!

I used to think that every empty

shelf, wall, sill, tabletop + corner

should be filled.

My thoughts have changed.

I am appreciating sparse spaces these days.

cozy thing

I know come January or maybe even sooner...

I will want to be in one of these
sipping a nice hot cup of my new favorite tea.
(Is it a giant turtleneck sweater???
Are the legs + head in the sleeves???
The neck where the hands are???)

calder's circus

2011-09-13T02:13:00.003-04:00

Alexander Calder.

My all time favorite artist.

I have a wonderful film on VHS

of Calder performing with his circus

called

Calder's Circus

by Roland Films on Art

I tried to find a copy on DVD...no go.

Here is a clip of this special, special film:

Love it as you can see Calder's wife manning the music

with a necklace he made for her.

You can see his mobile hanging, gently swaying.

The music is also fantastic.

I did find another film on DVD:

This one is from the Whitney Museum shop.

It's also fantastic yet different from the Roland version.

Here is a clip of this one:

Both capture

Calder's brilliance.

What a talented man...with a child's imagination.

Love.

the man who walked between the towers

2011-09-09T10:02:00.000-04:00

This is an

incredible true story

for children of all ages

about a man who

walked between the Twin Towers.

I will read this to Everett this weekend and

REMEMBER.
