Welcome to Litsy!

1. Went shopping for summer flowers. It was cold and rainy but empty so easy to navigate.
2. Finally found a use for a dish I bought in Seattle last summer, my first succulent garden!
3. Hubby and two grandkids looking good.
4. Excited to think about getting back to #EuropaCollective.
5. One Queen Bee, it‘s been awhile.

Well, for a Canadian Matty can write a delicious gumbo recipe!

Lazy Sunday breakfast delivery. I was craving Loco Moco, a ubiquitous local dish & my inspiration for today‘s haiku.

“Broke da mouth” is a pidgin Hawaiian saying for when something is incredibly delicious.🤤😋

Sunday Loco Moco

Rice, patty, gravy,
egg—stacked in wild harmony
Hot mess, “broke da mouth”

Bonus - the doctor getting me in right away to start treating (hopefully just) a pinched nerve and possibly saving me from the asylum. IYKYK 🤣

This salad has you suprême your citrus & shave your fennel— so fancy! I can see myself making this for lunch this summer. It has to be pretty good to get me excited for salads & this delivers ?

I love the accessibility of the recipes, too— even the sectioned citrus comes with a how-to guide. It looks like good food cooked with fresh ingredients & a lot of attention to detail ❤️

Found this beautiful little bookshop today - all cookbooks ! 🥰

#HaikuADay

All the work bustle & travel lately & I‘ve caught a cold. Stopped for a bowl of Phở yesterday which inspired this haiku:

Ode to Phở

Steam lifts from the broth
Cold‘s healer, soother of souls
Solace in a bowl

#HaikuHive

1. Book club winery visit with snacks. If you look closely, you can see me in the background at the counter.
2. Free map of Rohan from the game store.
3. Azaleas next to the side door at church.
4. Double header at the ballpark.
5. The website tomanlorenzo.com has given me joy for many years, especially during Oscars and Met Gala weeks.
