Yes, I realize that I am running the risk of my blog turning into a food blog but this is really what I spend my time doing. And I am really going to make more of an effort to document and keep track of the other fun MT adventures that we have!
But just wait until you see the mini cheesecakes that I made for my sistes bday....they are on a different camera that is not at home right now. And I will even post some of the other pic from the fun bday celebration last weekend for all you non-foodies.
And if you want something extra exciting to read about (stuff that I just can't give you) check out my friend Ashley's blog to read all about her exciting news!! I'll give you a hint.....Aunt Jacq X2!

Pasta Sunday
A day of creating. Spinach pasta turned into both feteccinni and torteloni filled with mushroom ricotta filling.
We stuffed ourselved with the torteloni with pine nuts in brown butter sauce before we spend the evening walking it off hunting.

really....really???
There are just some things that I don't think I will ever understand. I try to be non-judgemental. Taking a non-judgemental stance is part of my everyday mindfulness practice. And still, I sometimes find this impossible. I live in Montana. Surrounded by the freshest air, tall trees and..... a cat stroller??? People put cats in strollers and walk them around? This stroller:
AND...judgement is a slippery slope that I am now going to carefully get off of
Happy Friday!

made specifically for a cat...or I guess a small dog (which I still don't think I would understand)
in MT......
This is not some crazy city....the streets are clean and pet friendly.
AND...judgement is a slippery slope that I am now going to carefully get off of
Happy Friday!

I am Smitten
My new Favorite, and I mean FAVORITE little corner of the internet to hide. I am not sure how much time I have spent lost in this bliss of reading about, looking through and imagining myself creating these recipes at home.

Desiderata
-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
