Latte Sipping Lisa

My walkies involve shopping and no one wants to see me being dragged down the dinnerware aisle at homegoods by our 3 hell hounds

When my mom put it in soup it was simultaneously slimy and furry. I just can’t

In true southern cooking my aunt said, “you cook the cabbage until it disintegrates and it becomes a thickener.” And I said, “or you leave it out and don’t chance finding some of it”

“How is there a dinner with no meat or cheese?!? What am I suppose to steal off your plate?!?”

I have a friend who visits his mom I. nc and there is one guy you buy boiled peanuts out of his truck and they are the best!

When everything is done you basically have succotash with potatoes

McKellan is seeking the comfort of pillows to get through this cooking experiment

Darby has left the kitchen

My has been judged and found wanting

Indy has some reservations about how the soup is going

Ned can’t stand the site of it much less eat it. 😂 the lima beans also seem controversial

You know it’s bad when streak of lean/streak of fat was substituted in the 80’s and 90’s for its healthier cousin… bacon

As my first solo dining feat I will be making a vegetable soup from a family recipe that each generation has made worse and worse. Should I post it?

It’s pretty good. I’m a picky eater so I tried very basic things.

I have t say this is a costume that has never ever occurred to me

I tried to murder it. some of it is still growing without being connected to its roots. It’s possessed.

I may leave the width but the height has got to go. It’s climbing on the roof and has covered windows

It will NOT be the size after you leave for Helsinki

“Slow growing” is debatable

This is the ONE! It can look over the fence and judge to judge folks walking by

The pterodactyl is a must as it is shade AND lawn decor!
