Happy Sunday!


  This Handsome fella was visiting last week...

Eating the berries off my Juniper bush...

Wonder if he is staying all Winter?

I do hope so!



               Hoping you are all having a great weekend...

          The weather could be better...but at least it stopped snowing!!

                    High today of 10*c....rain later on...

         We have done some yard work...and went for a nice refreshing walk...

                  Lunch was delicious...We had Western Sandwiches...

              And...of course...some of my Italian Chicken Soup! hahaha! 


                  Dinner will be Summer Pasta...just because!...

                       Crusty fragrant garlic bread...Greek Salad...

                                 Miss V and her Mom will be joining us♥️


       I must get back down to the kitchen...I am making some cabbage rolls...

           Rice is cooking....ground beef browning...I make the "lazy" kind

          HUGE cabbage was $1.50!  Think I might try some cabbage soup too...

                          Anyone got a good recipe for that???

                            Enjoy your day...

                                  Cheers!
                                     Linda :o)

  1. Sweet robin photos. I haven't seen one for awhile now. Tomorrow I'll be filling my feeders again. *oinkers* I'm not sure I know of anyone who cooks as much as you, Linda. Your boyfriend is a lucky man. Just took an apple pie out of the oven for dinner. I had a craving. :) Weather is mild here and tomorrow even better. Enjoy your family home for Sunday dinner.

  4. Well, sweet little robin, what are you doing still hanging around. I thought it might be spring when I scrolled down to the first photo, Linda. What a beauty to see. It's mild here too and got up to 7 this afternoon. Monday is light rain and 12 then by Thursday it's calling for snow and colder weather moving in after. It does feel like spring right now. I rather like it. :)

  5. I made cabbage soup last week.
    Chunks of ham, carrots, onion, garlic, potatoes... Whole cloves, peppercorns, and chicken stock... shredded cabbage...
    I'll have to see if I can copy the recipe.

    1. Shredded cabbage? Very interesting.....I thought of everything except the ham.....
      I thought perhaps some rice.....and chopped cabbage....but the shredded sounds better!

  6. Nice little Robin.
    I am sure if you can sweet talk a jade to flower then you can persuade him to stay for winter ~ find some worms and cook him a nice meal . . . lol

    1. Hi Eddie.....
      NO worms in my kitchen! Hahaha!
      Perhaps an apple would keep him happy!
      Red is devouring my pumpkins!

  7. Happy Sunday to you. Hmm..I was gently reminded that I haven't commented on your flowering jade plant. It's amazing and lovely, of course. I always love your details about your dinner menu. Cabbage soup? How can I be lady like? I usually stay away because of its effect on the tummy. Dinner here is easy as I defrosted some lasagna. Also, green beans steamed with toasted almonds. Enjoy your family. :)

    1. Hi Hester....I see you got the subtle hint! Hahaha!
      You mean cabbage makes you "fluff"! Hahaha!
      Probably me too......oh well!
      I'll have a big bowl before fitness on Tuesday!
      Enjoy your evening....

  8. He's a cutie! We had robins stay all winter last year. I always wonder why they don't go further south where it's warm!

  10. Hi Linda! Robins are scarce but I've got six adult Bluebirds. They are something to see.
    Cold here on Saturday but my God-daughter and I had a yard sale. Lots of fun - little purchased.
    I mostly shy away from cabbage but love sour kraut with pork chops and a lovely brown gravy. Sounds weird I know but the gravy adds a little sweetness on the side of the kraut.
    Sounds like you've been having fun!

    1. Oh Dixie.....I have never seen a Bluebird in real life! Lucky you!

  12. Sweet robin red-breast. Going to be even warmer tomorrow - kooky weather.
    Dad and I went to hear the Count Basie Orchestra last night and after it was over we walked for a while along Bloor Street because it was so mild. VERY expensive stores along there now - reminds me of 5th Avenue in New York. Tiffany, Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Cartier, Esacada. Louis Vuitton. Unbelievable.
    Lazy cabbage rolls - that's what I need!

    1. You sure get around down there in Toronto!
      How lucky you are to spend the evening with your Dad♥️
      Haven't been down since last January....and that was just to a Leafs game....
      Make some! Easy peasy!

  13. Seriously, I leave comments here and they disappear. I think the word verification is too challenging for me! ;-)

    I did say..,

    That robin! He was just here yesterday and now he is all the way on the other side of Canada. I know it is the same one by the look in his eyes. Very beady and not trustworthy.

    1. Hahaha!
      Perhaps I will disable the word verification for a while...ok?
      But if I start getting spam....back on it goes!

  14. What a beautiful little robin, Linda. I have only ever seen one, once. They remind me of Christmas cards, so cheerful, and looking good near the snow!

  17. I too, enjoyed your Robin pictures! You have me curious though... what is a "western sandwich?" Here in Georgia, I've never heard of that. It just HAS to be something special, I know!!

    1. Hey Don....

      Scrambled together....fry in a small pan....kinda lime an omelette....in a sandwich....dip in ketchup! Delish!
      Have a great day!

    3. Nope, Vojvodinian :) I have no Serbian blood in me, mother is Bulgarian, late father was from another nation, so I'm Vojvodinian because I was born here.
