Over the weekend, I made a recipe that required two egg yolks. I can’t remember what it was, but it left me with two egg whites. Sunday was a dreary, chilly, rainy day, so I decided to make individual pavlovas with the two egg whites. I also had a pint of blueberries that were somewhat …
In September, yet another enticing Facebook ad called out to me. I was quite taken by a red handbag in a vintage style from the 1940s-50s. And of course, it was on sale. The red handbag was from Walasa, a brand that was new to me. Frame and Clasp Closure The old-school look with a …
