The Gladiolus Series.

I don't normally get cut flowers for inside the house, but HEB had been having a sale on Gladioli, and so we had been getting them for $3.99 a bunch for the last few weeks now, and this past week, for $2.99 a bunch!

They certainly do add a lovely splash of color in the kitchen and can be quite magnificent looking.

Mother Nature unleashed

One thing about living out here in this part of Texas, the geography is pretty monotonous - i.e. FLAT.   You literally can see for miles in some places.

This also makes for the most incredible views... and one of them is watching rain fall in some other part of town while you remain dry..

Chinese Food

A couple of weeks ago, we helped out the folks over at Sunrise with something, and the boss showed his appreciation by giving us a special dumpling treat and picking up our tab.

The dumplings were KHAMAZING! They had shrimp inside, with some sort of paste, and were so soft and juicy and just utterly delicious. Mmm Mmm good.

Another thing that is Mmm Mmm good there? The Singapore Mai Fun. *yum*

I wish I was a good cook so that I could make these at home.. now I gotta go search for the recipe and the right dumpling skin - but I have a feeling I would have to MAKE the dumpling skin.   BLEH.

So this is a thing now?

I am not a big donut fan, but this caught my eye at HEB the other day....

and no, I did not venture to get one.....

Majesty

We are blessed to be living in a place where we have an amazingly wide horizon with the most spellbinding sunsets ever...
