No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Eating at home

My boy is a fan of the website Pinterest and other similar sites. From those he finds the most amazing recipes and tonight we will be enjoying one of them. Winn Dixie recently had pork loins on special for $2.00 a pound. The last time I went to get one they were out, promising more were coming. When I went back again, the butcher had to go to the storeroom/cooler and came out with two of them. I took only one, leaving the spare for someone else to buy. Why would they not have them out and available for the taking, though?

Today he is making the recipe which includes slicing the loin along one side and putting apple wedges into the roast. Besides some other ingredients including cinnamon, more apples were placed around the loin in the slow cooker. All day it has cooked and made our house smell wonderful. Can't wait to try it at dinner time, with spiced apples alongside. It sure does smell wonderful.

The other day a Facebook friend and I were discussing the stores in the hometown we came from, including Kresge's. It seems both our moms liked to wear a perfume "Evening in Paris" which I figured was a more 'fancy' scent than Kresge's would sell. I guess it was not! Today Lori sent me this photo she found online of a collection of "Paris" bottles. Wow, does this ever bring back memories. Already back then I liked cobalt glass, and apparently, so did my mom!  This set was available for $185, just imagine if we'd kept all those bottles from back then...

Today the Chef from The Club sent me this video taken yesterday of the St. Valentine's events including exterior shots. At the 1:13 mark he caught a lovely shot of The Palace, so I thought I'd share it here for you to see, as well: http://youtu.be/ubGGK9zQtg4. You can mute the sound to just look at the photoe. Enjoy!
