– A few of y’all have asked where you can find the funky hanging baskets that I mentioned in Monday’s post. We got them at Lowe’s (in the indoor garden center), and they were about nine dollars each. I can’t find them on the Lowe’s website, but they’re made by Gardman, and they’re called the 12″ Braided, Water Hyacinth Hanging Basket Cone. According to Google, you can find them online, too.
– One day last week I found a recipe for fish tacos with lime-cilantro crema and thought I’d give them a try. I made them last night (with tilapia instead of red snapper), and they were DELICIOUS, OH MY WORD. They were fresh and light and hearty all at the same time. I’ll definitely make them again.
– I so enjoyed Mary‘s article at myrecipes.com about how to raise brave eaters. Couldn’t agree with her more.
– I would totally buy an East Dillon Lions t-shirt if it weren’t, you know, TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS. Personally, I think Eric Taylor would tell the NBC folks that they ought to be ashamed to charge that much for a t-shirt. But first he’d pull his cap way down low over his eyes and then pace a little bit. And yes, I watched the season premiere this past Friday night, and yes, JD McCoy is dead to me.
– Priscilla has written a really great post about an open mailbox. You read that correctly. A post about a mailbox. And I loved it.
– If you want to read Angie Smith‘s book I Will Carry You but haven’t bought it yet, you can download a free copy at barnesandnoble.com (thanks, Angie, for the tip!).
Hope y’all are having a great Wednesday!
I so want an East Dillon shirt! And seriously JD? Nobody messes with my little Matt!
This is my first time to respond, I have been reading and enjoying your blog for a few months now. I just wanted to let you know that I purchased Seasons 1,2 and 3 of Friday Night Lights on Amazon last week for my husbands birthday next month; based on the terrific reviews you have given regarsding the show. We have never watched it at all ever. I can’t wait to give him his gift! Also I love your AI recaps….we DVR it and usually watch both shows on Weds. night. OK I have taken up enough space and time….Just wanted you to know that I love your blog! _
YUMOLICIOUS. I cannot WAIT to make the Fish Tacos – I think I am going to make them with shrimp.
This has nothing to do with anything you just wrote but I’ve been meaning to tell you …. remember when you asked if other kids were hung up on those plastic bracelet things? I said Houston hadn’t heard of them.
Well, I stand corrected.
All four of my kids practically have them up one arm and down another. I heard the first grade teachers even banned them because they were “drawing too much attention”.
There is all kind of trading going on every day from what I hear. Anyway … I heard it from you first!
JD has gone to the Dark Side. West Dillon.
Buddy Garrity don’t look none too happy in that bed he done made for himself.
Go Lions, is what I have to say about that!
