Saudade...

Longing...Yearning...I Miss You...in Portugese

"The famous saudade of the Portuguese is a vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist, for something other than the present, a turning towards the past or towards the future; not an active discontent or poignant sadness but an indolent dreaming wistfulness". A.F.G. Bell

A very interesting word...thank you Fabulastic. I feel this way for my Grandfather...and for my friend Fabulastic...one I have lost and one I may never find.

The Suzani has Landed...




What ATTITUDE! Lola insisted she was having a bad hair day and photos were not on her agenda. And...I think she's still a little embarrassed and pissed with me that I posted her
"in flagrante delicto" moment.

I like to type my favorite words into a search and see where I end up. I've found some very interesting blogs and sites this way.

WTF is Wrong with Me!?!

What are the symptoms of caffeine withdrawal?

"Regular caffeine consumption reduces sensitivity to caffeine. When caffeine intake is reduced, the body becomes oversensitive to adenosine. In response to this oversensitiveness, blood pressure drops dramatically, causing an excess of blood in the head (though not necessarily on the brain), leading to a headache.

This headache, well known among coffee drinkers, usually lasts from one to five days, and can be alleviated with analgesics such as aspirin. It is also alleviated with caffeine intake (in fact several analgesics contain caffeine dosages).

Often, people who are reducing caffeine intake report being irritable, unable to work, nervous, restless, and feeling sleepy, as well as having a headache. In extreme cases, nausea and vomiting has also been reported."


I stopped drinking coffee last Friday...not intentionally, it just kind of happened. I usually drink an entire pot during the morning hours. The last couple of mornings, I've been on a coconut water kick and I've also turned into a total bitch with a raging headache. So much so, that I wake up in the middle of night thinking I'm having a cerebral hemorrhage...I can be dramatic like that. It MUST be the lack of caffeine...I never have headaches and I'm never this bitchy...for no reason. Also, I can't seem to get my shit together.

After some research, I'm on my third cup right now...I'm on my way to make a second pot.


I'm weak.

This is me before...happy and optimistic


4 Hour Leg of Lamb on 300 degrees braised in a bottle of white wine with thyme, rosemary and bay leaves...I had high hopes. I watched her make it on Barefoot Contessa...it turned out beautifully, fell off the bone...in TV Magic Land.

Smelled heavenly...looked like a gray, mealy, dinosaur leg once done. And didn't taste much better...and did NOT fall off of the bone. Maybe I should have cooked it at 400 degrees? I wonder if the altitude has anything to do with it. We are near 7000 feet. I want to try once more. I hate being a quitter. Luckily I made risotto, which we gorged on.

From the Farmer's Market in the Morning...Ardovino's Desert Crossing

I purchased provencal goat cheese, spicy BBQ sauce, tomatoes (since mine have wimped out on me), coconut slices, fig jam, and information to become a Master Gardener.

To a Sex Toy party that night...Slumber Parties, Inc.

...I learned I'm a little more inhibited than I thought I am...and I don't like strawberry flavored anything.
