Our Yule Dinner

Had our little Yule dinner before the big family get-togethers begin! For some reason we always want enchiladas! I also just love these Christmas plates!

Old Town Spring

Had a lovely day out in Old Town Spring with my mom and sister in law Bridget. Did a little shopping and had lunch at a tea room. I also just like to get away and feel like I'm in a story book ....

Our Halloween Dinner

Every year I like to prepare a Halloween dinner as fancy as I can get! - another tradition of ours!


This year I put a lot of thought into it and it came out SO FABULOUS!!!! I ate and ate until I couldn't eat anymore! Bella loved it too however I had to make hers a little different because she's a vegetarian and I'm a pescatarian because once in a while I'll eat seafood.


For my shipwreck Halloween dinner theme this year, I made black squid ink noodles with a delicious buttery garlic lemon tomato sauce with wild caught shrimp and scallop.

For the side dish I made creamed spinach with pastry tentacles that belong to the sea creature that dwelled within!

My Wheel of the Year 17-18

Mabon comes upon us which is a most special time for me. It is a time, 2 years ago, that I decided to be more dedicated to my path by participating in all the Pagan Holidays and Celebrations! The first year was a success and I truly feel the blessings in doing so along with being creative, more intune with myself and connected to the divine AND having memorable celebrations with friends!

Here I would like to present last year's festivities some of which had to altars along with a gathering. Tons of photos so be sure to click Read More.

Old Moon Deli and Pie

Over the weekend, I visited Margaret & Patrick's new Deli called Old Moon Deli and Pie!

Margaret, who is also the cellist for the Darkly Victorian music ensemble Two Star Symphony, has done an amazing job with everything about this place! A true beauty to get lost in time along with fresh outstanding eats and PIE! I'm also loving the blackberry lemonade that I wish I had EVERYDAY.

Congrats Margaret & Patrick! Galveston is sooo lucky to have you.

Halloween Treats

Whew! Spent a long time rolling, cutting, frosting, sprinkling, molding and un-molding haunting treats! I actually made 50 sugar cookies!

And... here they are, my baking and making for this Halloween season!

Time to eat at Elizabeth St.

I just flipped over the waitresses uniform dresses, I had to ask. Each waitress get's to pick out the fabric for their costom made dresses. I want one!  

And this was the time we started to head back home ....
