There's never enough Blue & White in my book...

Good morning, wonderful Sunday morning...I'm still a little bit sleepy... and I'm still at Mom's I decided to spend the whole weekend with her... I really didn't have much to do at home alone anyways....So this morning I thought I'd share some lovely Blue and White, which of course everyone should know by now is my most favorite..I had a Easter table but I just wasn't content with it so I simply switched it..

I'am going home this afternoon.  I just have to run and pick up Mom's medicine's before I take off.. I wanted to go to the storage today but I don't seem to have much confidence in going alone right now.

Aren't these the cutest little ginger jars.  I had found them not to long ago at Saver thrift store. I just hate it they are gone.  When ever times were to boring and I needed a lift me up that's where me and Mom went. Goodwill is nice but they don't have anywhere near what they had..I truly miss my crocheting thread I would find a lot of it was old but in good shape...sad :( 

A new fruit bowl I found at the tea house...so sweet It's a Johnson Bros. piece...

This is a new bowl as well, it's a serving bowl... and I can't remember the name of it..but o anyways I love it. Even though a lot of the things are different they seem to fit in with no problem..

Pretty baby blue candle stick holder I found two at the tea house recently.  I was so happy they are so sweet and I love the color..

The edging around the serving bowl, isn't is pretty..

One of my first pieces from along time ago from Dad's trucks...It has a little chip on the backside bottom..but I don't mind..I have had it for a long time and I think it's a very old piece.  This might have started it, well maybe no but it pushed the love of Blue & White down the road of collecting here and there...

I'm so sad a couple of weeks ago I broke one of my Church hill Blue & White tea cups..I was so upset more because it was new... but I told myself that it's okay I will just use it in my mosaic which I hope I can start this year... I have a wooden bird house I want to do in Mosaic ... and I want to do a bird bath. I need more tiles though..so I have been collecting them..

My valances, and my newer fruit plagues I found at the Salvation Army.. I paid $7.oo each.. but I thought it was worth it and who knows I'd probably never see them again. So I splurged and bought them..I had be wanting and searching for some for a long while..

I did a new recipe last week which I really enjoyed.  Called Mexican Corn Cake.  I thought well okay.
I love corn and why not I wanted something different. Personally I fell in love with it.  Thought I think I should have maybe used a little bit less sugar so next time. But just the same I liked it very much and will make it again...My older daughter liked it and Mom too..

Ready for the oven...

You use fresh or frozen corn to make it..

I forgot the recipe like always (that's because I have so much on my mind sorry)

I will bring it soon.  If your daring you can try it, I think you won't regret it.

 

the other thing is I had to put it back in the oven for a little bit more. I checked it with a tooth pick but over a ways it wasn't quite done ..

Your suppose to serve it with cinnamon ice cream which I didn't have any ice cream so I made whip cream topping...but I believe the cinnamon ice cream would have been lovely and possibly much nicer with the warm corn cake..

I hope that you enjoyed your visit.  I know I enjoy your comments so thank you very much for each and everyone of them...Wishing you a most wonderful Sunday...see you soon...

With love Janice

 

Wonderful Foggy Saturday morning....

Good morning Ladies and Gents....humm I think I have one gentleman blogger though I never see him...Well anyways I took Mom to the Dr's yesterday. I started off not feeling to happy about going but I pushed myself out the door and off I went.  After Mom and I went to eat out. Which is always a nice thing.. She like to go most times after the Dr's cause she doesn't get out much anymore...but as the evening came I progressed at feeling better...as most of you know I have been having many up's and down's with my daughter but I'm coming to terms with it...The funny thing happened on facebook last night. I have some nieces from my ex husbands family and they still call me tia which is auntie in spanish.. Well one of them posted a picture of my ex husband....and I happened to be online at the time..I first thought I was seeing things but nope it was him.. a little bit older and a little bit grey that was a strange thing to see his face.  Which I hadn't seen for a few years. But anyhow it someone how trigger good memories and happy thoughts and I woke up feeling content and wonderful...idk why, just did...wink....

This was us back in 1996 I believe...Mr. Corona and me the day we married...

 Well I think I'm going to head down to the storage this morning and rummish through some more of my things. I'm feeling better and I need to work on emptying it out.  Then later on I have to take Mom to pick up some groceries that's if she is up to it... She has these grand ideas in the middle of the night when she can't sleep and later she is too tired...

 I'd thought I'd make this a pink Saturday... I never seem to know when that day is...but here you are my American Beauty tea cup which I truly love...My pink Cabbage Rose depression dish and a lovely white flat bowl with sweet little pink flowers...

 I think it's my most favorite tea cup.......

  The roses are just yummy...

 You can roll me up in roses..I wouldn't mind...

 This a pink and cream doily that I designed and crocheted way back...

The perfect little roses...

 Too many roses nah, I don't think so....Have a most wonderful weekend my dear bloggers...I hope it's full of laughter and love...
                                                        with love.......

Happy Friday...Weekend My Grandmother's Piroski's

 

Isn't this adorably cute....

I thought so when I found it last nite surfing the web...

Makes me want to run home and put them in my garden...

Though I'm not truly excited about Mice living in my house...

Only if it could be just like this...

Well my dear blogger friends it's Friday and I have to take Mom to the  Dr.s today...Vee is gone off to a friends for the weekend.  Seems she never stays home.  She just informed me that she will be moving out again soon.. This girl drives me crazy and makes my life so difficult.  But any ways I'm not going to dwell on her!!!

I don't know whether to stay home alone this weekend or come back to Mom's house... I really rather be home, but  alone is so difficult for me.     

Well I suppose I will decide later on after I take Mom....What will you been doing this weekend...??? I thought today I will share some things with you that I made when I was home...

 These are another version of Piroski that my Grandmother used to make for us..Instead of meat it's fruit.  She used Pineapple and Apricots but I didn't have that so Mom said Blueberries and Pears would be fine...they came out wonderful...I also did the meat version as well... I had been looking for her recipe for years.. Mom seemed to have lost it in the shuffle of things..

Before I baked them..I tried to remember how my Grandma did it..I think this was close...

 Mixing the dough up...

 In the bowl to rise ...

 Rolling the circles out ...

Filled with meat and cabbage, onions and sealed and off the to the oven...

 Just the way my Grandma made them, most folks fry them.. She never did she baked them up in the oven and brushed them with butter and milk.  

The only thing I think I needed to fill them more..I only made a few because I didn't know how they were going to work... I'm so excited that I found and figured this out...It's been a lot of years.  My Grandma Mary passed away when I was around 15,16 I believe... and I had a passion to learn some of my Russian Heritage... My Great Grandmother came straight from Russian she died the year I was born so I never learn nothing from her.  Only my two brother knew her...

But I was told she spoke only Russian and cooked a lot of things which my Grandmother Mary didn't pick up.

But this one thing she did.

  I'm ever so glad she did, otherwise I would'nt have had the privilege to know anything ... I served up one fruit one with some tea... and o my it was just wonderful the lovely memories of my grandmother came pouring out across my mind into my heart and I could see her with her apron preparing them and putting them off into the oven brushing them with the melted butter and milk...

The best memory in my heart...To me they are heaven and taste the best...

  Thank you Grandma Mary...

Wishing you all a wonderfully blessed weekend

with love Janice
