Links and Things

1. My sister wrote this beautiful post on her new blog about our niece, Mercedes, whom she has cared for since my mom passed away.  Wonderful memories.  Read it here.

2. Made this 5 minute sauce for lunch and it was outstanding and easy.  Another home run for Heidi at 101 Cookbooks. Note:  I omitted some of the red pepper flakes to make it a touch milder for Susie, but it still had plenty of kick!

3. Started reading Then Comes Marriage  purely out of interest, and it is really fascinating!!  Part history, part sociology, Rebecca Janney looks at the cultural history of American families.  

4. Got my first copy of Kiwi magazine in the mail this week and for the most part, enjoyed it.  There were several good ideas in the articles, as well as some healthy recipes.  I got this subscription for free from Yo Baby Yogurt, when I redeemed my reward points.  Not sure if they're still doing it, but it might be worth checking!

5. Our family took this picture last night during an after dinner walk along the river.  What a lovely time of year this is!
