December 12 Super easy-------------TASTY--------------------- good-for-you---------------- salad.In the spirit of great health...
Marinated beans greens and tomato and onion salad. Too easy! Wonderfully delicious and chock full of goodness. Recipe: One can kidney beans (drained) One can Garbanzo beans (drained) One can greens (drained) One can seasoned stewed tomatoes (drained) One medium chopped onion (any color) I prefer red onion. One Big splash vinegar. One medium splash Sesame oil or Olive oil. One table spoon or more garlic granules. One large dash ground pepper. One teaspoon roasted paprika. Blend together and VIOLA! chow time within minutes. Feel free to add or subtract to this SIMPLE out-of-the-can recipe. How'a'bout adding mushrooms and bacon? Yum!... The above brunch will get me on the road to healthy living again as I have to admit to binging last evening. (major gluttonous behavior) I was able to devour a whole bag of these... ...RIESEN®Warning! Do not purchase a bag of these delectables if you wish to lose weight. ;0) Riesen's marketing campaign suggests that: "All you need is one good Riesen" to satisfy one's chocolate craving; they're "long-lasting". This theory is nice for Riesen to advocate (Super marketing campaign) but let me tell you folks- The "Long-lasting" theory certainly didn't work for me; as from the first chocolatee chewy bite I turned into an unstoppable gobble machine. I LOVE these chunky chewy chocolates! (Doesn't the name RIESEN sound like it should be poisonous garden insecticide rather than fine German chocolate?) ...................NO! ...............Not another kitty photo!........ What?......Compare this photo with my September entry. .......Growth happens!

September December 09 A thank you note.
Splendid are the days in which I live upon this earth. I give thanks to all who share their spirited gifts with me. -j December 06 Orange Pomanders..........................Make some. Take some. Give some...............................
Today I look forward to spending time with my cousin K.F. and her ADORABLE, handsome, six-month-old son, B.R.F. We'll be creating orange pomanders. . . . Some fascinating history regarding pomanders. May you find yourself in high spirits today and may you look forward to tomorrow with eager anticipation. -jenj December 04 Kitty Gato ,Goodboyz Dreaming under the magic gardenia bush.Goodboyz knows how to have fun...
No way to control this kitty's imagination. Beautiful rain splashing down and around today. Magical magnolia bush spinning dreams. Lucid thoughts swept into whirlpools of vision. Ideas are hatching. Marigolds are blooming and praymantises play hide & seek upon gardenia leaves. Life is love..........Life is love & Love is life. I celebrate life today. Thank you, mom, for giving me breath and love and protection. You have always been an over-the-top perfect mother. I've grown to see this as the truth. (Maturity happens!) You are: Humble and modest and beautifully-smart and creative and articulate and generous with your bountiful heart. I'm thankful and blessed to be on this earth today. Today is my birthday and I'm happy to share my being. Thank you, dad, you grew me tall. I believe all the fine tales people have told me about you throughout the years. How you were a bright, hard-working, self-educated, entrepreneur. How you were spirited and suave in the most fun exuberant creative and swankiest way. How you adored me. How you adored all of us kids. Thanks for being part of my creation. Your time on earth was brief but your spirit lives on. I feel your spirit flow through me; You have never left my side. We are all in this together. Love is as love does. Enjoy today. Enjoy everyday. Love, Jennifleur Rose December 01 Instructables....a how-to-do-most-anything-kind-of-a-website.(link) The World's Biggest Show & Tell - art, craft, diy, food, games ...The site above is a show and tell of gazillions of shared ideas and knowledge. Creating is amazing! Also, check out the spiritual emoticons I created below. (-j-) -j- Do you see what I see? Eyes, and a dot above the nose? FYI: Hinduism: Why do Hindu women wear the dot on the forehead? Not
only women, but Hindu men also wear a dot on the forehead, indicating their
third eye. The pottu is a very auspicious symbol, reminding those who wear it of their spiritual heritage and ideals, wherever they may be. It also serves to
identify a Hindu among the members of all other religions. -jj ....and remember that excessive television viewing makes one's third eye blind. One more note: Please don't go see the exhibit Bodies Revealed. We need to reveal China is harvesting the bodies for this morbid exposition. Sadly, I participated by purchasing two tickets and two audio for what I thought was going to be a scientific anatomy study. My stomach fell to the floor the minute I saw the plastic bodies...... all of which were Chinese. I immediately new (Your first instincts /spirit reactions don't lie) something was WRONG with this picture. I've heard since that many of the "bodies" could be executed political prisoners. (Not volunteered bodies for experiments or displays) I saw a program on sixty minutes regarding this matter. Most Chinese are extremely spiritual and superstitious and would NEVER allow their bodies to be kept above ground. .......................I could go on but I wont. Please donate the money you would have spent on this exhibit to another cause. Thank You!
December Gardenia....................12-04-2007 will be here soon..............Fortunate to be here on this fine piece of spinning, rotating, ever-changing beautiful Earth.
December Gardenia To my delight I have a single fragrant bloom arising from my Gardenia plant. I brought the whole Gardenia plant into the house yesterday to protect it from the chilly weather. Hours later, to my surprise, I took a double take as I noticed a tight white bud beginning to unfold from the abundant leafy green foliage. Amazing! Astonishing! Since July and August's passing this gorgeous plant hasn't produced a single bloom; only promising green buds that never opened. Believe it or not it makes my day to see such simple, incredible, easy, yet intricate, calculated, yet un-calculated, natural beauty. The bloom is exceptional! (What bloom isn't exceptional?) Life is Extraordinary! . . . . . ... ....
Curiosity
Aware (above image) verses (below image)....
...Not a care. Happiness is not having a care in the world and a having a world in which you can care. (Makes sense?) Happiness for me today has been waking up before sunrise with a soft warm kitten underneath my bed covers snoozing atop my chest. Waking the little guy (Winston the kitten) up with deliberate caresses and hearing his uncontrollable motor purr loudly; Slipping on my socks; Locating my keys; Stepping out the door; Making an immediate right-hand turn; Unlocking the studio door; Feeding the cats; Turning on the gas heater; Sniffing the spicy air from the mulled spices I placed on top of the radiator last evening; Noticing the Gardenia bloom had opened over night; Starting up my computer; Brewing French roast coffee; Taking photos of my flower; Bringing the images into Adobe Photoshop to re-size and upload to the web; Journaling my thoughts. Yes, today is a happy day. Not a care in the world. (...so far.) It's okay to care. It's O.K. to deliver your best. It's important to rest. Life isn't always easy. We're all in this together. Thanks for peeking and stopping by my e-journal. Particles of life slough off. -jj |
