I live in an apartment with my husband. Cozy, with lots of windows.

Nice view?

The salad sounds wonderful!  Of all olives, kalamata are my favorite.

I thoroughly enjoy developing tasty vegan recipes and, if I had the energy, would absolutely love to have my own restaurant.

If you mean my husband, wonderful.

[GrandmaNettie]

Well, that's cool.... but I meant the view from all of those windows.  Countryside or cityscape?

Where do you live Grandma Nettie? It would be unkind for me to show less interest in your location than you have shown in mine.

  I am not Grandma Nettie.  I am GrammieT and I am jus' dat lil ole whaat lady fum Burren Sprangs, Michigan. 

It's just that all these recipes you keep putting out are beginning to become a book and I sure would enjoy trying some of them out with you and your hubby but I'm afraid we are a little far apart to do that without a lot of planning, huh?  Of course, I am assuming that you live somewhere in the southern Illinois area, but don't tell me here!     I wouldn't want to be accused of 'phishing' fer sure!

I live in beautiful Northern California, close to the rather artsy downtown in a small city of less than 200,000. This afternoon while I was preparing cornbread and fruit salad for my family, the stylings of a small jazz combo performing at an event at the museum around the corner from my home floated in through my open kitchen windows.

Down the street a few blocks is a lovely park.  Sadly, I can't see it from my windows.  My view is just of a busy street and a carpet store, but many lovely sights are quite close by.



When I heard you describe your apartment as having "lots of windows" it just raised my curiosity about what your view was like.
