turn out to be great good fortune”… Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I was going to give you a couple of recipes from the great NY Times Cooking section, but…copyright infringements! So, instead I’ll post some pics of these yummy recipes I’ve tried and give you a link to the recipe so you can try it yourself … and hopefully you’ll sign up to get their emails too. I’ve also included my notes/tweaks at the bottom.
my notes … use 1/2 the salt
Roasted cauliflower with pancetta, olives and parmesan
my notes … I used pitted kalamata olives, deleted cumin & red pepper flakes and I will use WAY less EVOO and salt next time
(parmesan and olives are salty enough).
Bon Appetit!

If there’s any upside to this crazy pandemic year since the shit-hit-the-fan in March, it’s that Covid has given to me the gift of getting back to daily meditation. I did it pretty religiously when I was going through the divorce and the death of my mom, all in the same year, but eventually just stopped or did it sporadically. I recently signed up for the Calm app and I am loving it! They say it takes 21 days to create a habit and I’m on day 33…woohooo, I’m hooked! I’d highly recommend the app! Have a FABULOUS week! (VOTE!…two weeks to go.)

….just a reminder that Fall is the most beautiful of seasons and
that when you choose hope, anything is possible.

Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time.
Until you value your time, you will not do anything productive with it.
