Gimme a T

Teresa-did a list of good things and I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and do one to. I hope you do not mind Teresa xoxoxox

Greek Gods-I can not tell you how utterly yummy this  honey yogurt is. It makes cream-at-the-top yogurt boring.I have only tried the honey and the fig. I did not like the fig. Which surprises me because I adore figs, but this did not work for me. The honey was heavenly. It is slightly sweet and very thick. It reminded me of a yummy panna-cotta with a slightly (very slightly) tang to it. This yogurt with fresh fruit, will be a regular summer dessert !!!

I have been having so much fun watching free movies on-line at Netflix. I just watched North and South and loving it.

"North & South is a splendid, four-hour adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's 19th century novel about an unlikely, and somewhat star-crossed, love between a middle-class young woman from England's cultivated south and an intemperate if misunderstood industrialist in a hardscrabble, northern city. Daniela Denby-Ashe plays Margaret Hale, forthright and strong-willed daughter of a former vicar (Tim Pigott-Smith) who relocates his family from a pastoral village outside London to unforgiving, largely illiterate Milton, a factory town where John Thornton (Richard Armitage) and his mother (Sinead Cusack), survivors of poverty, rule their cotton mill with an iron hand. Thornton befriends Margaret's father but incurs her wrath for his severity with his workers. What she doesn't notice is Thornton's core sense of responsibility for his employees' welfare. On the other hand, he misinterprets some of Margaret's own actions and intentions. Equally stubborn, the two drag out their obvious attraction over many painful months and events."

I have been so enjoying your blog Natalie's based off of Mrs. Beatons book of household managment. Now thanks to Natalie I want a still room ;-)

" Welcome Friends,

Hello and welcome to my site. In her biography of Mrs Beeton Kathryn Hughes says that Beeton's Book of Household Management holds up a mirror to our most intimate needs and desires. By representing "Home" - the place where we go to be loved and to be fed - Mrs Beeton has become part of the fabric of who we feel ourselves to be. This site is dedicated to those of us who choose to be home and is intended to be a virtual meeting place for women who do the feeding and loving in homes around the world"

I have been looking for a hand painted teapot (since I broke mine). I just love the hand painted china at shabbyfufu and check out the amazing Debfordshire Damsels

Dry Soda

I love dry soda and lavender is my favorite. I do not drink soda, it is too sweet for me. But this is light and barely sweet. Just perfect.

"Seattle-based DRY Soda Co. offers the first culinary soda, a line of all-natural, lightly sweet beverages designed for those wanting a sophisticated non-alcoholic option to accompany a great meal or simply a night out with friends. DRY combines the subtle essence of nature and the kitchen in its four cuisine inspired flavors: kumquat, rhubarb, lemongrass and lavender.

In a fashion similar to fine wines, DRY was developed to be paired with great foods, and when poured, each flavor teases the senses with an effervescent mix of fragrance and flavor. DRY is all-natural, non-caffeinated, flavored with fruit and herb extracts, and sweetened with a small amount of pure cane sugar. In addition, each bottle of DRY Soda contains only 50-70 calories — far fewer than conventional sodas. Drink DRY and inspire the table"

Clarice,
I *love* your list. Greek yogurt is amazing, isn't it?! I've only had plain, not flavored. They honey sounds wonderful! I've never even heard of DRY soda. I don't drink soda either but this sounds different and nice. I wonder if we even have that down here?! I also didn't know that Netflix had free movies. Wow! I learn new things from you all the time! :) I just finished up my chocolate this week. :) I made it last. And I ate every little bite all by myself!!! I offered some to Tim but he refused knowing what you had said about not sharing it! :) Aren't you proud of me?!

Clarice, I hope you have a wonderful, beautiful day! Thanks for sharing it with me!

I found the link (thanks, you did have it posted and I'd missed it). Nothing available over here on the east side. So. . .that means online shipping and it's quite spendy! But, I simply have to try some, so I won't give up! LOL! :)

[LaTeaDah]

Okay, so WHERE do I find some of this dry LAVENDER soda? It sounds perfect!!!!!!!! Hmmmmm. . .I wonder if they have a website. Did you post one and I missed it?

I'll look in to the soda, sounds interesting. So does the movie.

And yes, if you are ever in this part of the country, you should check out The Savoy, that breakfast was amazing!!!

Love the list, Clarice! I just finished watching North and South (after hearing many recommendations from others about it) and I absolutely LOVED it. This is a movie I definitely want to add to my collection so I can enjoy it for years to come.

You Northwesterners have all the cool foods! The Dry drink sounds so good and so does the yogurt. I had one of those skinny/fatfree yogurts the other day and just couldn't eat it. I want thick, creamy, tasty yogurt like you have. I may need to get busy making my own again (but it wasn't as thick as I like it).

Love "North and South" too!
Great list Clarice!

Thank you so much for the kind plug for my blog! I am very glad you're enjoying it. I too loved the BBC adaption of North and South, the book also is very good. I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Gaskell. Dry soda sounds great!

It all sounds really good. I will have to try the soda.
Have a good weekend,

Too bad I can't buy that dry soda stuff here, it sounds awesome.
