aloha friday
/christmas is getting closer and i’m enjoying the season. we’ve agreed as adults in the family that we won’t exchange gifts but will get gifts for the kids. there really does come a point in life when you just don’t want more stuff and it’s the time spent with each other that really does mean the most to me. this weekend i’ve volunteered to paint my moms guest bathroom and maybe bake some holiday goodies. hope you have a peaceful weekend.
~ michael j. fox foundation 2018 year in review. lots of great research ongoing.
~ balloon based play therapy for parkinson’s-this is a fascinating article and i think is a great idea.
~ oh parkinson’s - this new holiday song for parkie’s made me laugh!
~ the new york times cooking site revealed their 50 most popular recipes of 2018 and the number one recipe was chicken francese. if you’re looking to free form cook, a nice pot of portuguese sausage, kale, & potato soup would be comforting. saute an onion, a few cloves of garlic, add sliced sausage. when its brown add some chicken stock and thyme if you have some lying around. simmer for a few minutes, add a couple of diced potatoes and shredded kale, s&p to taste & cook until soft. with a chunk of good bread & a glass of wine, what else do you need?
~ enjoy reading books? how about doing the 2019 reading challenge from the modern mrs. darcy along with me.
~ don’t wait for someone else. do it alone.
