Nature: Just so pretty

Copyright by The Old School Housewife
I just can't get enough of these beautiful colors.  I don't have a lot of red in my back yard but these red leaves showed up on a tree that has mostly yellow.

Food; Salmon Salad; Not your typical salad

Copyright by The Old School Housewife
Who said salads have to be boring?  When I was a little girl, my mother made a lot of salads and I hated them.  Salad was always just ice berg lettuce with celery and tomatoes and oil and vinegar.  Now salad can be anything you want it to be, even the meal itself.  In this picture I made a salad with Italian mix of greens, salmon, roasted almonds and dried cranberries and Ranch dressing and lots of freshly ground black pepper.  It was delicious and filling and best of all healthy.

Nature; Even the trees around my house are wearing their prettiest colors.

It was so nice outside today and as I was walking around I noticed the trees around my house.  Just a few days ago, they weren't too colorful, but now they are.  The white birch trees behind my house are so pretty in yellow with the ground all yellow with the fallen leaves and my dogwood is now red and the flaming bush behind it is almost all red too.  The good Lord created such beauty for us.  It's soothing for the soul to be outside and breathe in the fresh air and enjoy all the colors.

Comfort Food; Breakfast of soft boiled eggs right in their shell

Copyright by The Old School Housewife
When I was a little girl my mother used to make eggs like this for me for breakfast.  Only she didn't have these nice egg holders, she simply used shot glasses.  She called it "egg with a hole in it".   They are just soft boiled eggs done to your liking.  For large eggs I cook them for 3 minutes, these are extra large eggs so I cooked them for 4 minutes.  The toast has to be cut in lengths so you could dip them in the egg.  Make sure you use a small spoon to dig out all of the egg inside the shell.  It's comfort food because it reminds me of my mother who has been with God since 1993. 
Thank you Mom for so many memories and good food.

Home Life; Clean up inside-Magazine colector

Copyright by The Old School Housewife
Part of what makes me "old school" is I never throw away a magazine.  You never know you might need something in it 10 years from now! lol  Well, 10 years is up and time to clean up.  I didn't go crazy though, I did save some.  You can see the difference between the magazine rack on the right, half empty and on the left, almost full.  The ones on the table went in the garbage.  Is anyone else out there like me?????
