Hello to all! It has been a torrential day and definitely a day to stay indoors. I switched from working from two different places to get WiFi and it has been a mad house since it was not the sunny day it was yesterday. No problems.
It does not help that it makes me miss my sister like crazy. I find that when my family comes for a visit I have a hard time getting back into the emotional groove. Even though my sister and I are 4 years apart, we have a tight relationship. I find that I meet people who are not very close even to a sibling with a 4 year difference. Not so with my sister. We have been longing to sit together and have a heart to heart conversation, even though my grandmother was in our company. We managed to take a break to Starbucks, bought our favorite drinks, a soy matcha latte for my sister and a grande Americano for me with a little soy milk.
If I could get more of these sessions with my sister, I would relish them! For the mean time, I tuck in my heart and wait till I see her in July. DO you have someone you are close to and really miss?
Last night, I had a last minute opportunity to join a new group I heard through a friend on Twitter, called the West Michigan Bloggers, so I was happy to find out I was going to a blogger meet-up! I only knew Megan, through our Blogger Bake Sale, but I got to meat 8 other women who keep up blogs with different subjects. It was a networking seesion, where most of the ladies shared what types of plug-ins they like for their blogs and what brings more readers to their website. Who would not want to learn about that?
We also enjoyed some good eats as well. I was not able to take any pictures but imagine a nice plate of hummus with homemade flatbread and a glass of Malbec. It was a perfect dinner! We took a picture at the end of the evening. Thanks ladies!

So, seeing that I am going to be out of town this week again, I will not have too many recipe posts but I leave you with some giveaways! Yes. It has been a while but if you have not seen my recent post on a small giveaway of Primal Vegan Jerky, go check it out! NOW! 🙂 What is the next giveaway?
How about a nice hand mixer?? I know someone out there could use this lovely black Sunbeam hand mixer.
“Sunbeam Heritage Series 6 Speed 250 Watts Hand Mixer – Black – 2561
From An Opera Singer in the Kitchen |
Here are the details:
This Sunbeam hand mixer not only looks great, it’ll help you whip up your favorite recipes in no time. With its 250-watt motor, this powerful little mixer is up to almost any beating or mixing job. Its attractive retro styling also makes this one appliance that you won’t hide in the cupboard.”
DO you still want it? How about I throw in some Naturally Nora products? Now I know I have vegan and non-vegan readers, but just to let you know that not all her products are vegan. Her brownie mixes and cake mixes can be made vegan using egg-replacer and oil, but her frosting mixes have egg whites. FYI!
Here is what I would be adding to the Hand Mixer set:
