Friday Favorites - June

June 26, 2020


Happy Friday Friends!  

Can you believe it's already the end of June?  How can it be that summer just started and it's already going by so fast?  

I have my Friday Favorites - June Edition:


1.  Kitty Makes Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
I shared a recipe for Buffalo Cauliflower Wings on the blog last week.  I'm so happy that my blog friend Kitty from Kitty's Kozy Kitchen made the buffalo cauliflower on the grill.  What a great idea to grill the cauliflower.  Thanks, Kitty for making the cauliflower recipe and I'm glad you liked it!                    

2.  Book Reading
I discovered this book, Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton, recommended by the blogger Preppy Empty Nester.  After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban-American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity-and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution.
I found this book to be an interesting read and I liked learning about Cuban history.  Have you read any good books lately? 📚  I'd love to know.  


3.  Gardening
The photo on the left is some escarole and romaine lettuce that I picked from my garden.  I made a few salads from the lettuce I have growing.  We'll have a few more salads to enjoy this summer.  The photo on the right is my zucchini growing and flowering.  I planted a citronella plant and it's helping to keep away the mosquitoes.  I also have chicken wire covering some of my plants to keep away the squirrels.  The chicken wire is helping to keep the critters away!  I just discovered the other day a green caterpillar eating my parsley plant.  I took the caterpillar and parsley stem and put it in another area at the end of my garden.  I make sure to check the gardens carefully when I water them each day.

4.  Wegmans
I'm happy that a Wegmans opened up in our area.  We like going to Wegmans to do our food shopping occasionally.  It's always a treat going there and we've had some nice barbecues.  Mr. JCL loves the beer and liquor isle.

5.  Different Moods of Bosco
We enjoy taking photos of Bosco!  He's just so cute and so lovable.  Bosco likes taking car rides with us too.  🐶 

6.  Summer Drinks
We've been enjoying different drinks this summer.  The blue drink is a Blue Lagoon and the red drink is a Vodka and Cranberry.  Have you been making any fun drinks this summer?  If you want some awesome drink ideas you can visit Andrea at Living on Cloud Nine.
 

7.  New Sandals
I recently ordered new Birkenstock sandals online for my daughter.  I was happy to get my sandals (the second pair on sale) from Famous Footwear.  These sandals are so comfy and perfect for summer. 


These are some of the simple things that I've been enjoying for June! 😎 Wishing you all a Happy Friday and weekend.

  10. I read Next Year in Havana a few weeks ago and it was so so good. I loved reading about the history of Cuba too. My latest excellent read was The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. Happy weekend!

  11. Your pup is the cutest and those drinks look awesome, even if I don't drink alcohol! :) I have been trying to make more time for reading lately, it's been a lot of fun doing a virtual book club with my neighbours over Iso so I've been reading a few different books! :)

    Hope you had a great weekend! :)

  12. Don't you just love Wegmans? Before Coronavirus, I would go there every other day, as they are so close to where I live. Then, I didn't go for months over quarantine, and finally went back a couple of weeks ago. I have so many favorites at the store! Those drinks do look tasty!

  14. You are so smart to grow your own lettuce. I feel wary of buying it anymore because of all the e coli scares that seem to be in the news all the time. I grow herbs, but that's all.

  15. Thank you for sharing Julie - I loved going through your favourites especially seeing Bosco - he seems like a doll of a dog - just precious!

  16. I like to learn about Cuban history too. I am glad to hear the Birkenstocks are comfy. I ordered Clarks flipflops because the are supposed to be so comfy but my pair really isn't. I went back to my Soft Science flipflops that really are comfortable. I may try the Birkenstocks at some point.
