All those years in Virginia have stayed with me. All those years in Virginia have stayed with me.  Wreath making is definitely in my soul.  I hope Mrs. Bernard would approve.  These are mostly boxwood, magnolia and a few holly sprigs.  Keeping it simple and loose.  There was a time when I would have lemons or apples all over them #williamsburg style.  But it just doesn’t stay cold enough anymore. Everything just rots too soon.  If you’ve got boxwood or other interesting evergreen shrubs that need some winter trimming. Make a wreath.  I just stuck the little branches right into a grapevine wreath. Florist wire comes in hand but isn’t completely necessary.  No bow for me this year.  The wreaths are against the backdrop of warm and cool white lights loosely hanging from my plantation shutters. I like combining the whites. Lighting is a lot more fun when I don’t have to get on the ladder. 😄#nowreathemoji #wreath #wreathsofinstagram #christmaslights

The food section in the Tennessean back in the 196 The food section in the Tennessean back in the 1960s featured home cooks and their recipes. This hilarious story showcases Chris Tibbott my friend @natashatib late mother-in-law. I love Bernie’s line about Chris’ combination oven-bookcase.  She was a creative force in Nashville and even made Minnie Pearl’s famous hats with the price tag. Years ago I took a picture of the one sitting on a limestone head carved by Chris in Natasha’s living room. Can’t find it now dang it or I’d share it again. #nashville #homecooking #oldnashville #tennessean.

So what’s tying this jumble together? It’s the So what’s tying this jumble together? It’s the color red. Red blue to be exact.  Beets red plum and red black grapes. Spicy arugula onion and peppers. Whole mustard seed vinaigrette.  Think how different it could look if I used the same ingredients but changed the proportions.  Or changed the size of the pieces. Little changes can take you in a whole new direction.  The tart plum skin is excellent with the earthy beets and sweet grapes.  Don’t forget the salt! Hits all the taste points sweet salty bitter sour and umami!
