Latte Thanks

Happy Thursday!
Only one more day until the weekend....I cannot wait!!
Tonight I was going to finish organizing my stamp area now that Brian brought in my shelves from the garage but the stamps, paper and ink were calling my name ;)
I used Mercy's MTSC100.

This card was made using one of my most favourite new MFT images from the A la Modes called
Miss You A Latte. I am loving this new My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy designer paper. This is from the boys collection but it can be used for anything...love that!
Thanks for stopping by today! I do hope to stamp this weekend but I also want to decorate for Christmas outside...lol

Cold Apple Soup

For the November Red Hats outing we were entertained at Abigail's B and B, a Victorian home. We played whist an old fashioned card game similar to euchre or bridge. The hostess then served us a High Tea. Lovely little ham sandwiches, hickory smoked cheddar cheese, carrot cake, spice cake, chocolate tea cakes and a wonderful cold apple soup. This soup has a wonderful appley taste, rich and creamy. Would make a delightful brunch soup or ladies who lunch treat. The hostess shared the recipe and I had to pass it on.
Perhaps some would say Waiter my soup is cold!
I say try it...

Four large apples, peeled, cored, and cut into a large dice.
3/4 cup good white wine(used a chardonnay)
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup sugar
Half a cinnamon stick
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
Fresh Lemon juice 2 TBSP.
Bring the apples, wine, apple juice, sugar and cinnamon stick to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat and simmer until the apples are soft, about 20 minutes.
Discard the cinnamon.
Puree the soup in a blender, whisk the sour cream and heavy cream together .
Check for consistency and sweetness. If the soup is too thick, thin it with a little more apple juice . If soup seems too sweet add tiny bit of water.
Chill to blend flavours.
Serves 4-6
This soup is a nice appetizer to start a meal...or ending as a dessert.

Look What's At My Walmart!!

Yesterday, my daughter and I went to pick up a couple of things, and you will never guess what they had!! NEW CRICUT STUFF!! 6 new lite cartirdges, and beautiful new expressions in pretty colors! I whipped out my cell phone and took a few picks, I am sure the Walmart worker thought I was insane! The pics are not the best, I apologize in advance, but I was so excited!! Nova Scotia NEVER gets anything early...





This one was in my cart to buy, but I didn't, not yet. I will though, it's on my must have list. The little girls are SO cute, and there are dancing animals too. Adorable!!


















Sorry, this one is terribly blurry! They look a bit like stained glass windows. The layer is a phrase.



I apparently forgot to take a picture of the front of Holly Jolly, but it has REALLY cute christmas pictures. It was in my cart too. But I came home with nothing.



These all look so pretty in real life! I especially like the purple colored one, however a new Expression is not in my budget.

A la prochaine...
