Winter, the most boring time of the year. Lol The cauliflower soup recipe is one I will try, and I HAVE to try the turnip fries. I have heard of Gladys Taber, but I haven't yet read any of her works. The quote you shared is so beautiful, I am determined to seek out some of her books now. I don't know how I missed her for so long :)Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-45931959779196560802016-02-08T12:37:25.036-06:002016-02-08T12:37:25.036-06:00I've gotten behind with my reading…sorry I mis...I've gotten behind with my reading…sorry I missed your birthday.

I love mexican food; one of my faves. Love the faux built-in in your family room. Where did you get the wood surround to make it look like a built-in? I've never seen anything like that before - ingenious! Milo is so cute how he's waiting for you. :-) I'm familiar with Gladys Taber but I don't think I have any of her books. Or, maybe I do and I just don't remember! lol Have a great weekend, Jane.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-28522055187567143192016-02-05T09:19:53.995-06:002016-02-05T09:19:53.995-06:00Happy Birthday!

I like sweet fresh turnips, and I have seen them served mashed, like potatoes, but this looks like a great alternative. My mother used to chop them up and cook them with the greens and a ham hock. That's good too, if you are a Southerner who likes greens like I do. The soup looks wonderful, and I think I might try that. If it has bacon, it has to be good.Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681743103386838795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-6181303456163097992016-02-05T07:56:08.519-06:002016-02-05T07:56:08.519-06:00Hi Jane, Happy belated birthday!

So a week or two ago, when i was reading one of your posts, you mentioned your date of birth, and I thought to myself, that's an easy one to remember! I climbed into bed last night and opened your post, all ready to wish you a timely HB, when I had a knock at the bedroom door, the birthday girl wanting to visit, which hasn't happened in a while. So that's why i am late in wishing you, one of the nicest most genuine of persons I have met on my blogging journey, a wonderful year ahead. I wish for you continued joy in experiencing life with your children and their children. And great healthy this year, pain-free. And amazing travel adventures (Vancouver in the spring perhaps?!). And overflowing creativity in your garden, your writing, your decorating, your cooking. Your blog just simply makes me feel better about life. xx NancyStonecropsisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339562848477978976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-45470290787900153772016-02-04T20:48:14.744-06:002016-02-04T20:48:14.744-06:00Happy Birthday!!!
