It Wasn’t Until I Was Older That I Understood The Importance Of The Right Questions

Follow my blog with Bloglovin One Crisp Windy Day

On a crisp windy day a woman sits by the window in her favorite cafe, sipping on her tea and observing out the window the elderly couple walking to their car. She noticed that the man still opened the door for his girl and gave her a kiss before she sat inside. She was all smiles as he walked in front of the car winking as he noticed her…

I imagine if you have been following for…

Chef Movies: Four Likes Or Dislikes.

The movie “Burnt” with Bradley Cooper.

August 1, 2019 I asked How Intent Are You About Goal Setting? 

The Person Behind The Pen, has had a few changes in her life during the month of August.  One of the changes is a new job that I talked about in the post Caregiver finds Respite At End Of Summer. This new job is amazing, the season is almost over but there is lots of time to think and plan goals to finish the year. This blogger would…

Caregiver finds

Pool in Missouri @newlifeduringmidlife

Respite: Well here we are, four in a half months left of 2019. This Caregiver just really needed to get back out into the world and live. The pool is right across the street from the Cozy Condo.

You might not think of work as a type of respite, but that is exactly what is going on in my life. I now work at the clubhouse pool until the end of the…

Silky Submersing Of Body Heat

Silky Submersing Of Body Heat

As she entered the room wearing red silky robe, she approached him slowly.

He could barely catch his breath as his bare skin glistened ,while she revealed herself and her desires. Her silky robe submerged with his clothes, while their bodies were submerged in body heat sharing secret desires.

  How Intent are you about goal setting? Do you set new year resolutions or goals? 

You see a new year resolution is a promise and a goal is the end toward which effort is directed. 

Are you better at keeping a promise to yourself or putting effort towards something…

Good morning,

The above picture is a small idea of my cookbook library. These are located in the kitchen, so to utilize daily. The remainder of cookbooks and other personal books are located on shelves in the guestroom closet. Except for books pertaining of bartending information, which in this post I will share my idea for an small spaces entertainment drawer.

I Love Jane Fonda’s Cooking for Healthy Living; I imagine if you are a man seeing the words “healthy living” your sitting there hoping your spouse or girlfriend does not see this post. Rest assure my spouse enjoys the taste of several of her recipes. Woman if your seeing the words “healthy living ” and thinking another bland cookbook I challenge you to try 2 recipes, especially with blueberries as an ingredient and then visit my site again with your review.

As you can see, with a lot of credit to my daughter at Christmas Time, I do use Pioneer Woman cookbooks often, the one I refer to every week without a doubt is The Pioneer Woman Cook’s. She cooks for cowboys and the recipes are easy, very tasty and once again to reassure the guys, my spouse requests at least 4 of the recipes in the above mentioned book often. 

Now to switch the topic from cookbooks to bartending books. As a culinary person it is just as important that I know how to serve beverages and how to pair wines and other beverages with foods. The Cozy Condo is a delightful small home. I enjoy waking up each morning with the Welcome Hug of my kitchen and this year I am working on redecorating since May’s Arrival brings changes in Life!

My kitchen is what they call a Gallery Kitchen but it is open floor plan, which simply means I can socialize as I cook. The island area which has an additional two to three seats during holidays, has four drawers and today I will reveal organizing a small space for entertaining.

  This slideshow requires JavaScript.

As you can see the beginning of my beverage book collection fits right inside the drawer with a juicer, two candle stick holders, in the Christmas tin is my wine opening and sealing accessories, after these pictures were taken I added 2 shot glasses.  The cost for this entertainment drawer is right around $20. 

In future posts I will share ideas for small bake ware, also more decorating and organizing of a small cozy space.

Please leave a comment or a review if you liked any of the recipes from the mentioned cookbooks:
