Farmhouse Omelet Recipe - Omelet Recipes
Farmhouse Omelet Recipe - Omelet Recipes
This just sounds delicious. I think I will make it next weekend at the Lazy T. This would be a great recipe to use up leftovers after a long holiday weekend. You could certainly adjust the meats according to what you have on hand.
Right now I am cooking Chicken Gumbo. This is really backwards in my family traditions. My traditions have seemed to fly out the window over the last several years. My dad died 10 years ago and my mom died 6 years ago. They were the glue in our family. Everything revolved around them, their house, and my mom's cooking. Actually, the gumbo comes from even further back than that. All my life before my grandparents died we went to Pt. Neches, Tx. for every Thanksgiving. Gumbo was on Wednesday night done at my MawMaw's (Dad's mom) and her family. Then Thanksgiving day was at Nanny's (Mom's mom) and all that family. Sunday was always traveling day to home listening to Christmas music on the radio with my mother singing every word.
Been trying to make new traditions for the last six years. Every year has been different--different people, different places, different days, and different food. We even made Mexican food for Christmas one year because everyone had already had 3 turkey dinners with different family groups. Now things are really about to change. I am moving to the beautiful Texas Hill Country in Fredericksburg to run the Lazy T full time. So maybe now it will be easier to start new traditions, since it is totally different. We have tried very hard to keep things the same. Sometimes in life you just can't recreate a stage of your life when you are in a new stage of life. Actually, it is kind of exciting.
I'll keep you posted. Hugs and sunsets, kk

Easy-to-Grow Native Wildflowers
My friend Sherry Tucker David shared this wonderful site with me on Facebook today. Just had to pass on the beauty. I am very excited that I am going to become a Certified Master Naturalist. All the work will be done on the 5 1/2 acres of the Lazy T. I was already doing a lot. Once I have more information about the program it will be posted here. One of my incredible guests this weekend, Carol Yost, is the one that told me all about it. She is developing her property in Brenham under these guidelines. Really exciting. I will keep you posted!

The Gardener's Eden - Autumn Light…
The Gardener's Eden - Autumn Light…
This is gorgeous photography. Just had to share my new find.
Wow, it is busy season at the Lazy T. We have been blessed with wonderful weather for weeks. I went to Wildseed Farm on Saturday and bought tons of new wildflower seed to plant. Looking for a day before rain to put them out. Will have to put them out by Sunday any way. Just an FYI the sweet lady at WSF told me to mix five parts sand with one part seed to throw them out. She also said if you start watering them you have to keep at it. So her advice was let nature take it's course. It worked last year. I need to find out what they are predicting for this winter.
We have been blessed with the most gracious and fun guests. I went to Trade Days this last Sunday and met some folks I have found on FB and Twitter. It pays to get the word out. Oh, Sister, Sister shows in their new Pink Cottage in FBG and also at Canton. They have a FB page with information about their shows. They have beautiful all lined clothing in great colors. Also, the all cotton gowns are so pretty and comfortable. Check them out and then call 325-446-3906 or ohsistersister@aol.com.
My other new find was Blue Trading Company. They also show in Canton. Wayne & Merilee are just the nicest couple and I enjoyed chatting with them. Wayne is my Twitter friend and really enjoys tweeting. They have great home decor--some old and some new. They are on FB as Blue Trading Company. Also, you can email rwayne500@cs.com If you twitter look them up at twitter.com/bluetradingco. Wayne would love to let you know what's new. Their website is www.2blue.biz
Well, enjoy all my new finds. I know there is something you'll love.

Dying for Chocolate: Cabernet Day: Molten Spiced Chocolate Cabernet Cakes
Well this about says it all for a cloudy, cool, football kind of Sunday afternoon. I don't have all the ingredients, but I am so glad I found this blog and this recipe. You know me, I just had to share a new, incredible find. I need to write a blog about searching through thousands of blogs. There are incredible ones, great one, good ones, average ones, ones that don't interest me but I am sure someone else, and finally the "I thought I'd write a blog and never did blog".
I am still going through the learning experience and experiment. What I want to offer you is a place to leisurely go and find the best of the best that I have spent all the time and energy finding. Maybe it is the best days on certain blogs and not every day they post. Maybe it is a totally unique bit of history you would find interesting. Maybe it is a quick "oh my gosh" moment. Maybe it is an incredible deal. Whatever it is, I intend to make it worth your while to read this blog. You could instantly be clicking off to go to the information that I found for you. That's okay, that's what I'm here for. To make your life interesting and time efficient. Sifting through all of the rest just for you.

What a cool article. Thank you FBG CVB for tweeting this. Good way to spread the word. If I could have been the writer of this article I would agree with 4 out of 5 of her picks. However, I love Fredericksburg being in the 5 of all the world! We have had several ladies groups book our Great House and have others lined up. I had a group of girls (ladies of 39 yrs,) that I had taught in the fourth grade. What a party that was! We have had several pre-wedding shopping tours with the Bride and the Bridesmaids. Also, several mothers, daughters, sisters, freinds, family of the wedding parties and all other combinations. Check us out and then you can write and article just like this one of your world travels including Fredericksburg, TX, and the Lazy T B and B.
Hugs and sunsets,

Best Stores in Texas 2011
Best Stores in Texas 2011
Totally cool......6 stores in Fredericksburg, the jewel in the Hill Country, have been voted best stores in Texas for 2011. "And on the other hand" as Randy Travis would say McKinney, my home town, has one store "Pumps". Way to go. You will always hold my heart.
I have been to most of the stores on the Fredericksburg list but will make them all by the end of this weekend. Can't wait to go to Red and congratulate all of them. Homestead I have been to many times as well. I always take guests there to show them the building for sure. Really cool, old, old, antiques from all over the world await you. House Wine is a favorite of my son and his girlfriend. I will stop by and have something special before strolling on down the street. Root is a wonderful, contemporary upbeat store. I haven't been to Beulah's but I now have a reason--a new baby girl cousin, Ava Grace. Beulah's sounds like the perfect place to go and find that special gift. And Something Different II is the perfect expression of me...country chic, modern, antique, and just love it all! Come on down and enjoy the uniqueness of Fredericksburg when you want award winning shopping, dining, wineries, and hospitality. We have it all.....and more, now that I think about it. Gotta go--there's a spectacular sunset on the way followed by the show presented by the Milky Way.

This is a great opinion article about the wine country surrounding Fredericksburg. I think it is spot on about the moving to more upscale restaurants and wine lists. Sorry they obviously didn't visit the Cabernet Grill where the food is superb and the wine list is very good. Also, they have a very well educated wait staff. Wait staff can be a bit of a problem in FBG as the unemployment rate is extremely low, usually around 3-3.5%. They were all the way up to 4.5% the first of this year. Above all it was great to see the exposure of Fredericksburg and the Texas Hill Country in another national magazine. The founders of Fredericksburg have allowed the growth, even though it is heavily managed growth. There is great opportunity for the continued growth and keeping that small town feel.

Texas Hill Country Wineries - Texas Wine Trail - Events Calendar
Texas Hill Country Wineries - Texas Wine Trail - Events Calendar
All you need to know to make your October plans. Sooo many great events in the Texas Hill Country, the Texas Wine Trail, and Fredericksburg, TX, especially. This link will take you to all the special information that you need. It has been a spectacular year for wild flowers, peaches, and wine in the hill country. God blessed us with plenty of rain at the right time but now August is looking to be the hottest since 1957 in the Austin area. Glad we are at 2,000 feet.
Breakfast this morning included the peaches, apples, organic cherry tomatoes and basil I found at the Farmer's Market yesterday at Marketplatz. The weather was spectacular, however, there were fewer vendors. Those present told me it was the back to school week and the 122nd Gillespie Country Fair that kept them busy this week. Our Lazy T guests enjoyed their coffee this morning outside after one taking his 3 mile walk and one on a photo-walk. The ladies chose to sit after breakfast in the screen house in the rocking chairs. The 22 year old son chose to go back to bed....ah, the pleasure of youth. After everyone shopped downtown they were off to the scene of the wedding tomorrow. Five sisters, one Dad and one Mom, what a blessing. Three sisters and the parents from California, one sister from here, the bride from here, and one best friend from Brian/College Station. It is just one big three day celebration. I will be going to the wedding tomorrow afternoon (they all insisted) and hope to share some pictures with you. The bride and groom are 13 miles further west into the Hill Country from the Lazy T. Just more beautiful scenery on the way, many low water crossings with flood level indicators on the side. I keep having to remind the guests to watch for deer on the way home. The soon to be newlyweds have built THE party barn. I want to build it to be my house! I will keep you posted. Just one more beautiful weekend at the Lazy T.

Really cool bunch of information for you to spend some time on this weekend. Great website with recipes included. You can also buy his organic seeds! I know I will take some time on this. My ultimate goal is to have a garden at the Lazy T and use our home grown produce in our breakfast menus and evening appetizers. Of course this not only entails having a garden, but it must be High Fenced to survive!!! That little extra slows me down some. Hopefully over this Fall I will accomplish this task. We are always looking for ways to improve your experience at the Lazy T, and I think this is a great one.

Pantry: French Essentials : How to : Cooking Channel
Wonderful bits of information. Most of you have these things and didn't even realize you were stocking a French pantry. Cooking French scares a lot of people unnecessarily. Feel free to experiment and share with me what you tried. Please post for me your favorite french recipe and I will give it a try. Jacques Pepin and Julia were some of my favorite shows and recipes. I have their book at home so I will pick from there and find a new favorite I am sure. Today's chef is a lot for adventurous than in my earlier cooking days. Of course you must cook as Julia did--with wine! One shot for the pot and one for the chef! Bonjour!

Feel free to experiment and share with me what you tried. Please post for me your favorite french recipe and I will give it a try. Jacques Pepin and Julia were some of my favorite shows and recipes. I have their book at home so I will pick from there and find a new favorite I am sure. Today's chef is a lot for adventurous than in my earlier cooking days. Of course you must cook as Julia did--with wine! One shot for the pot and one for the chef! Bonjour!

This was fun. Some of you will get it and some of you won't. Great synopsis of my first 10 years of my life. But the memories never die.

Wanted to share quickly this great site I have found. And it just happens to have another way to use those wonderful peaches you are buying (hopefully in the FBG are). You can see all the choices of ways to mix and match the fruits that are available to you. Looks like a perfect weekend, easy, peasy, lemon squeezy dessert! Stay cool out there.

What a wonderful find. This looks to be an interesting place. I will be ordering and letting you know what I think. However, I have been to Pt. S Reyes Station and all of the Bolinas area so my thoughts and memories are pouring into what this cheese could be like. It was one of the most glorious places I have every been. All along the peninsula is nothing but beauty and peace. Do a little research on this and see if you don't agree. Thunderous, crashing waves, and serene hiking trails among the elk await you! I can smell the eucalyptus as we rode with the window down letting the cool air wash through the car......

mmmmmmm olive oil. This is good information. Try their Italian Bread with Tomatoes and Olive Oil recipe on their site. I bought a wonderful Chipotle olive oil at the new Olive Oil Shop in Fredericksburg, TX. Went in and did "tastings" just like at a winery. They also have a very unique group of balsamic vinegars to taste. I bought a "fig" balsamic. It is all good and hard to choose. Look them up. There are four locations in the US and the newest one is in FBG!

Time to Relax. Really. - How to Have a Stress-Free Summer Vacation - Your Best Body for Summer - WholeLiving.com
Vacations are hard to come by these days with trying to keep jobs, the economy of our own pocketbook, and just feeling like we should save the money instead. This is a great article on relaxation if you do take the vacation. However, I found several really good points that you can use daily while on vacation or not. We all need to relax more. It evens suggests turning off the computer and cell phone. That alone would be a big vacation for me. Enjoy your weekend and try and relax along the way.

Welcome to Tra Vigne
Just had to post this. I came across it doing other things. It is absolutely one of my favorite places in the world to dine. The atmosphere, the food, the service, the bar, the EVERYTHING. If you ever go to the Napa Valley put this on your bucket list. Be sure to make reservations well in advance. Spend time just soaking it all in. Oooooo, ok, now I've made myself all relaxed and reminiscing....mini-vacation. That was good!

This is so interesting. Ten presidents in a row served in the Armed Forces during WWII. I found this fascinating. This museum overwhelmed me today. Three hours spent and barely skimmed through. More pictures to come.
