Hello? *echoes* Hello?

*switches light on*  Oy, what a mess, cat hair everywhere and some dried up poop in the corner.  *opens window*    While this place airs out, how about a quick look around my garden?


Not sure what this is but I love the brilliant blue color

Summer is almost behind us although the weather is still fantastic.  Hockey "should" be right around the corner but all bets are off on when the season will actually start.  I'm beside myself, that's the one thing that gets me through the winter.  In the meantime, I have a couple of recipes to post this week that are tried and true.  I'm working on getting my blogging mojo back, I had seriously considered packing it in for good but I don't feel that I'm done yet.  To get me back into the habit I've decided to add a weekly feature "Friday favorite" which could be a recipe, a food or beauty product, a movie or anything else that catches my fancy.  

Now I have to get off my lazy backside and get the supper going.  It's pouring rain and I have to go outside to BBQ some lamb chops.  Mr, Moey has so kindly offered to go and fetch the umbrella for me, he's so thoughtful.  I feel blessed.

Go Kings go......

because of this and because I don't hate their guts.

Curse of Marty McSorley

In the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals, the Los Angeles Kings led 2-1 when the Montreal Canadiens suspected Kings player Marty McSorley's stick was too curved. After the stick was examined, McSorley was penalized two minutes for playing with illegal equipment and Montreal tied the game on the ensuing power-play. Carried by the curse-establishing goal, Montreal won the 1993 Stanley Cup. No Canadian hockey team has won the Stanley Cup since the Montreal in ’93. To date, four Canadian teams have made the finals only to lose to an American team. Oddly, the Quebec Nordiques who moved from Canada to the United States becoming the Colorado Avalanche, immediately won the Cup in 1996 and again in 2001.

What, me worry?



Constantly.  Although I'm thrilled at his return, watching Andre Markov playing hockey is stressing me completely out.  I'm sitting on the edge of the sofa waiting for the end to come.  That one hit that will end his career.  Tonight my boy Sid steps on the ice, I'll need tranquilizers or a good stiff drink (never both at the same time, then I'd worry about dying in my sleep) to get me through it

Don't even get me started on Saku Koivu.  I've fretted over him for years, every time there was a mention that he wasn't feeling well I was terrified that his cancer had returned.  I hold Saku personally responsible for every gray hair for the past ten years. This game we call hockey is supposed to be fun, not a hand wringing stress inducing horrible feeling that the end is nigh.

I'm glad spring is just about sprung, I need to get a little sunshine, fresh air and a life.
