Onward and Upward All!

 A delightful week, altogether!  

Here we are, at Sunday Salon again, and in the universe!  Yes!  I too choose love!!  We are celebrating!  With Champagne even, or at least Prosecco.  This is some art my husband Bob posted recently (Sean is his younger brother) and I was reminded of it by Deb at Readerbuzz, the stalwart hostess of Sunday Salon, as last week she posted this cover of Bob's Saucer Repair, which is now on my reading list for Sci-Fi month.


I love it for the cover alone.  Other than that, for Sci-Fi month I'll be reading Land of Milk and Honey, by C Pam Zhang


And, these two I just finished: 


It always amazes me, all the Agatha Christie books I have't read!  There are just so many!  And......


Mrs. Quinn's Rise to Fame.  A novel that was just delightful! With tons of scrumptious food.  Currently I'm reading another Foodie book, really it is,  because there's just so much to entice! He's a model gardener, and cook as well as a handsome police officer, solving mysteries.  A Chateau Under Siege, by Martin Walker.  I've read them all up to this point, and have the next one my stack


As for food, Bob has not been well, so I made him meatloaf, which he loves.  I didn't get a picture of it right out of the oven, just here, almost demolished.  What can I say, not that photogenic at this stage.  He says he'd like 24 hours of Meatloaf!  It was quite good, if I do say so.



Yesterday I made a quite delicious Couscous "Risotto" with Asparagus, served alongside some salmon poached in white wine, butter and herbs.

Currently, my bacon finished its cure, and is in the smoking, low heat roast stage.  It smells really good!  Ready shortly.  

That's it for now. Also linking up with November Foodies Read, hosted by Heather and Weekend Cooking, with the Intrepid Reader and Baker, Marge.   Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!

  1. I hope you enjoy Bob's Saucer Repair. My aunt recommended it to me last week, and I couldn't resist that cover.

    Love is the only path forward, I think.

  4. That food all looks so yummy! I always like a good meatloaf, but the rest of my family doesn't agree. May be time to make some minis so I can have some and freeze some ;) Thanks for sharing!

  6. The food looks yummy! I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie and have read most of her books, but could read them again and be surprised because it's been a while!
