BlackCaramelCreme, that certainly is a big variety. I think it will last me until....

Hehehe...wow!

It’s been a while since I visited and that shouldn’t be.
You need to eat too like I presented to others to see
Just know you are never forgotten, no...not by me.

Who doesn’t like sweets for breakfast?

 

[done_got_old]

Breakfast without sweets (or bread) is not for me.

I was rather out of it yesterday. I was reading posts on Facebook. I noticed that I friend and former co-worker was tagged. In the third post, it was made clear; Stuart had passed away. For some reason I think it was covid.

Stuart was the instrumental music teacher at our middle school as well as being a local musician. It hurt like crazy. When we met, we had been selected to teach at a new magnet school. That made us closer than most staffs. When I learned that he had a $25,000 budget for instruments, I struck up a conversation. I think he had one of the largest budgets in the building. As a Communication Arts teacher, I got $2,000! I know that sounds big and it was, especially since we didn't have to buy an overhead projector and other stuff.

The kids were equally shocked by his death. A few of them shared stories and that made feel better, knowing how important a role he played in their lives.

I’m so sorry about the loss of your friend/coworker. It’s got to be comforting to at least see how those students posted how they remembered him.

One young man said that Stuart changed his life. Stuart was looking for a big 6th grader to learn the sousaphone. This kid was one of the biggest boys in the 6th grade. He played in the band throughout high school! He'd been a troublemaker in elementary school, but not in middle or high school.

This for you for Sunday (but actually every day is Mother’s Day)

Thank you.

Celebrate the day. If your mother is here, give her a hug. If not, say a prayer and thank her for all that she did.

At the company water cooler, I bragged about my children's world travels: one son was teaching in Bolivia, another was working in southern Italy, and my daughter was completing a year-long research project in India.

One co-worker's quip, however, stopped me short. "What is it about you," he asked, "that makes your kids want to get so far away from you?"

Good morning!

That looks delicious, but I couldn't have it in my fridge. Living alone with no one to help me eat it; well you get the idea.

Believe me, I know. The pandemic had me gain back majority of the weight I lost. Now since I’m tiring of cooking and places are back open and delivering...you can see where I’m going with this. At times, I feel like a fat girl walking.

I had to stop ordering in before the pandemic. The food was too good! I started buying a lot of processed foods. I've been ordering my groceries online sine 1996 and love the convenience. After spending 5 weeks in a rehab center cooking was difficult. Of course the weight skyrocketed. I decided to cut out 1 processed meal a week. That meant cooking, but I only do simple things.

Don't feel bad about gaining weight, a lot of people did! I call them pandemic pounds.

My mother used to make German Chocolate cake for Christmas. My brother didn't like coconut and my younger sister didn't like nuts, so that meant there was more for the folks who liked it!

This probably has enough calories for the entire week. This is something you take to a potluck or dinner with family!

I usually make a soaking in glaze rich, rum cake.

I used to make a killer Cuban Rum Cake. I haven't made one in years.

Have you tried the 'cake in a mug'?

Yes! Pumpkin spice cake in a mug. It was delicious!

I missed that one! I don't know how because I love pumpkin.

When I get back to my place on Thursday, I’ll go to the Dollar Tree and take pictures. They had that and the flavor birthday cake.
