Cohens’ Fashion Optical #WhatIWore #EyeWear

Posted on

So the idea is give a girl a new pair of glasses and she can conquer the world. It is time for a new pair of glasses.  That’s the place I started at and the place was at Cohens’ Fashion Optical. Got myself an eye exam and came out with flying colors and two new pairs of glasses.

I used my Eye Vision Medical from work, I need bifocals and I wanted two very different styles. There were plenty of styles and colors to choose from and they were having a special. Love when that happens!!

One pair of glasses that stay at  work and one pair of glasses that stay in my bag and go where ever I go. Because honestly, I cannot think without my glasses 🙂

Canned Corned Beef with Peas sauce a recipe my mom got from her mom during WWII My nannu worked at the RAF station in Luqa Malta and he liked to  gamble with the soldiers  and sometimes lose his pay, then he would  bring home British soldier laundry for my nanna to wash and cans of corned beef.  Growing up I did not understand I just knew I loved the nights my mom made this for us. Here is the simple recipe:

Olive Oil
One medium onion diced
One 12 oz corned beef  cut into 8 pieces
One 15-16 oz tomato sauce
1/2 can 8 oz. wine ( measure in tomato sauce can)
1/2 cup frozen peas
salt/pepper to taste

Saute onion with olive oil in a large pot. Stir in corned beef and smash down  and mix  with onions cooking for 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and wine salt/pepper. Stir well. Let simmer for 15 minutes. add frozen  peas and let cook 5 more minutes. Serve with your favorite pasta or rice. Use in your favorite pasta recipe.

The Bear’s Life By Christian Brennan #Book #Goodlife #Friendsforever #Bear

Posted on

Being sick, and not being able to go to school, was not my grandson’s choice.  However, it was my choice to baby him and make sure he was well taken care of.  That is grandma’s job when mommy and daddy work and grandma doesn’t.

My grandson spent two days recouping at grandma’s.  First day he was really feeling the sick bug. 🙁

But the second day the bug had moved on, but mommy kept him home from school to make sure that he was  truly 100% well.

When my grandson started to feel better he decided that he would write a book titled, “The Bear’s Life.”  Book reads as follows:

 

The story in the book is short and has a happy ending.  This book, that he stapled together, will not be read in any classrooms, but it’s the best story I  ever  read.
