NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes…and love getting recipes you would like to share!
Schools for all our grandkids are back in session this week, and we celebrated Labor Day weekend with a trip down to southeastern Minnesota and the historic 1895 schoolhouse which my college roommate and her husband, John's cousin, have turned into their summer retirement home. It was a fun excursion seeing their plans come to life.
