Welcome Summer!

 If you are planning to shop online for an address plague, before decide to buy,

 I have some suggestions for you guys!

 

The Rose Oval address plaque is handcrafted from rust-free recycled aluminum

with one line of text. Mounting hardware is included - 2 brass screwswith
one line of text.

It matches well with the siding color, İsn't it :) 

OR

 

You might prefer a solar-powered lamp address plaque and make it more visible,
even in the middle of the night.
No wiring is needed, and the light automatically
turns on at dusk and off at dawn.
Solar cell charges the batteries
for uniform lighting –

 

What else can you find at Mailbox And Beyond?

 

Mail Slots; solid brass and handcrafted with the word
"MAIL" cast into the flap.

The Butterfly Hanging Birdbath is also pretty! Address signs, house signs,...
Also some romance?

Tea lanterns, twilight lanterns to make your patio come alive with glowing candlelight.

 

Welcome summer!

“ Quality You Don't Find Elsewhere”

A delicious fully stocked with a huge variety of delicious gourmet snacks! Hmmm..doesn't it look like a perfect gift idea for an individual , or a whole office?

This premium snack from www.gourmetgiftbaskets.com , because of its incredible versatility, makes an ideal gift for co-workers, clients and also family and friends.

Of course you have more choices! Just visit Gourmet Gift Baskets, order your choice online right away and make your people smile:)

By the way, it's not always easy to compose a gift message to someone a gift. A meaningful message! Ugh! If you 're good at this, it's an ordinary thing maybe for you. But not for everyone, right?

A few tips, hope those can help:)

-It's a good rule to say what you really mean rather than second guess what you think the person might be expecting.
-Even though your gift may be late, do not apologize for the tardiness in the first line as this tends to put the emphasis on you and sets up a defensive tone.
-Make sure you have the proper spelling of the person's name.
-A late gift and note is vastly preferable to no gift and note at all.
-Use notes to introduce a personal element into your business relationships, especially when someone has done more than what the occasion calls for.

“better ingredients, better pizza.”

It seems that the company really sticks to its slogan which discribes this taste very well. I love Papa John's Pizza. Years ago I worked for them:) The dough is really better..I might say the same thing for ingredients honestly!

If you tried Papa John's Pizza you might be agree with me when you compare it with other pizzerias.

Actually, you can easly shave a couple bucks off the price with coupons.You can utilize coupons for Papa John’s either by printing them off your computer and bringing them into your local Papa John’s location, or by using a Papa John’s promo code on their web site.

Papa John's also in Turkey but unfortunutely there is no Papa John's here in Izmir. We have Domino's Pizza but as I mentioned it, I am a Papa John's lover:) Especially their thin crust was my favorite and instead calling them to order, I used to order online.

Order pizza online and save with papa johns!

You guys, do it online if you want to try Papa john's pizza!

Hmmm... I'm thinking of Tuscan Six Cheese right now:)

Take a look sides on their menu. You would find very good tastes I promise!

Spicy Buffalo Wings, Permesan Bread Sticks, BBQ Chicken Strips..all yummy:)

Cinnepie of Papa John's is a wonderful dessert, taste it soon! You would thank me:)

Enjoy your weekend with Papa John's!

But if you're insist to make your own pizza, here is a recipe for you..Do you have any great (or terrible) pizza experiences?

3 Cups flour. 1 1/3 Cups water (warm, for the yeast)1 package quick-rising yeast.Salt (approx. 1/2 tsp)Sugar (approx. 1/2 tsp)Extra Virgin Olive Oil (approx 1 1/2 tbsp. Grated Parmesan Cheese (I don't have limit for this:))

Mix yeast with warm water. You want to do this first so that the yeast has time to"get going" before you add it to the rest of the ingredients.. Mix flour, sugar, salt, cheese, and oil in bowl. Add water and yeast to bowl. Mix until all ingredients are blended. When ingredients are mixed, dough should be sticky to the touch, but not torunny. Then "cut" the dough at least a dozen times, with mixingspoon. This is what takes the place of kneading the dough. Let dough rise for 30-45 minutes. Rember that it needs to be bothwarm and moist to rise. Just a tip; turn the oven on bake for about 3 minutes then turn it off, open the door for a few seconds and let it cool down slightly. Then cover the bowl with a wet towel, and place in the oven, close the door. Take the dough out. Don't forget to lightly sprinkle it with flour to keep it from sticking to your hands and "punch" the dough down. Don't remove from bowl. Let rise for another 30 minutes. Total risingtime should be between 45 minutes and just over an hour. Grease your pizza pan using a small amount of olive oil or oilspray and put the dough on the pan. Dust dough with flour again and spread it onto the pan. As long as you grease the pan, spreading the dough should be easy. Baking times are usually about 10-12 minutes in a 450 degree oven, on the middle rack.

Before topping, put the sauce on your pizza first. Then put whatever you want on it. It's your pizza, right?

For herb & spice lovers

Do You Use Herbs and Spices to Give Your Cooking a Fresh Twist?...

If your answer is 'yes' you might want to take a look at these spice racks:))

If you need to purchase kitchen spice racks & spice rack accessories shipped quickly and free ! Just check them out and choose one for yourself:) Also a spice rack might be a great gift for your loved ones. Have you ever thought of it?

Do you prefer a countertop spice rack or a in drawer spice rack? Actuall,y I would choose a cabinet spice rack. I don't like anything that sits on a counter and takes up space.

If you're trying to figure out an ideal spice solution, the key is to find what gives you most of what you want. You might also create your own spice solution. That would be also an economical way to orginize your spices, of course. Adding a shelf organizer to your kitchen cabinet and collecting the same size jars you used earlier. Don't discard them. They would give the most beautiful solution to you. All you need is putting labels on them.

It makes you to look at it! Feels like a work of beauty:))

Enjoy your kitchen!

A good friend and a glass of wine..enjoy!

There’s nothing better than sharing a love of wine with someone you know well. Good wine is a must. Wine gifts are always popular, so make sure you have a back up plan if they should go out of stock or you can do it online too! You’ll find an even bigger selection of wine gifts if you search online.

An excellent Chianti Classico !

Isn't it a good suggestion:)) Cheers!

Wine lovers know this very well. There are several factors to consider when selecting a bottle of wine: price, preference and pairing. Once you settle on your price range, your style and taste prefences will play a key role in directing your decision.

Look, smell and taste, it's that easy.

So, you worry about the calories?How many calories are in a glass of red wine? Well, that depends somewhat on the person pouring the glass of red wine. A typical restaurant pour of red wine is 5 ounces, yet most of the trendy diets that allow wine, recommend 4 ounces of red wine as a standard serving size. When it comes to the number of calories in a glass of red wine, you can figure approximately 25 calories per ounce of red wine. So your glass of red wine at a typical restaurant tops out at 125 calories. While the standard "diet-friendly" glass of red wine only weighs in at 100 calories per 4 ounce, not bad!

Most of you guys know that I like wine:)

But, I haven't share with you guys my pictures lately, how scany Iam now! So proud:)))

Love y'all! And of course,

cheers!!!

Desperate Housewives

Guest Post

Written by Vernon Lowe

"I do not spend a lot of time watching tv, but there is one show that I never miss. I have been an avid watcher of “Desperate Housewives” since the first season. This show is the final season and I wanted to make sure I watched every episode. I thought the season was starting a week later than it actually was, so I missed the first episode. I was so mad! Then I realized that with Direct TV I can watch all of the old episodes on demand. I was able to watch the first episode and got caught up before the second episode. I also was able to set it to record every episode so that I don’t miss another one. I could also watch past seasons on demand and relive all of the drama all over again. At least now I know that when the show does not come one anymore, I will still be able to watch it. I thought I was going to have to find a new show when “Desperate Housewives” quit airing, but I think I will just watch all of the seasons again. "

"

Time does fly!

I was putting ornaments on the Christmas tree this morning while having a cup of coffee. Turned on my laptop and thinking of writing a post about The Steam Team and I remembered one of my posts I made for it. It was a year ago. It's Christmas time again but I am in Turkey now!

Guys, time REALLY does fly! Doesn't it?

'Early Morning Accident

I was enjoying having my coffee sitting on the couch and watching my son playing with his lightsaber yesterday...Until he accidentally hit my coffee cup and coffee was spilled on the rug. Lol. I hate stains!! I have a lightweight deep cleaner so why would I worry about, right? Wrong! Because I ran out of cleanser. Ugh!
http://www.thesteamteam.com/austin-restoration-services/smoke-fire.shtml

Enjoy turned into pain:( I grabbed a pack of baby wipes and started to work on removing the stain. Baby wipes always work. Baking soda and vinegar/salt or dish liquid are commonly well known stain removers and when I searched yesterday, I found out that beer is the another solution for stains. Do you know that? It literally lifts it out by pouring a bit of beer right on top and rubbing the beer lightly into the material. Probably this process needs to be repeated a couple of times to remove all traces of the stain. Honestly, I never thought to use beer as a stain remover before. Will keep one of these rug cleaning tips in mind for next time:) '

Between summer and winter..

One of my favorite products of Panera Bread is 'Potato Soup'. Yesterday, I was thinking of it but since there is no Panera Bread in Izmir, I decided to make my own potato soup. We all realy liked it and I want to share this recipe with you guys.



3 potatoes(peeled,cut in to 1-inch cubes)
4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Crushed red pepper flakes,
Dry mint
Fresh ground black pepper, salt
2 cups milk
2 teaspoon plain yogurt


Place potato cubes in a pot. Enough water until cover and cook until tender.
Add chicken broth,milk, yogurt, onion powder, black pepper and salt to flour, mixing until well blended and cook until thickened.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add red pepper flakes, mint for garnish.

I love soup even though it's summer.I also love icy water even it's autumn and winter. Weird ha?

I was checking everstar ice machine, maybe you may interested in buying ice maker so want to share it with you guys. You may also need a bbq grill light which is very helpful actually in the dark to see what you're doing and avoid catching anything on fire when you're grilling outside.
Barbecue lights.

Enjoy surfing on Become's website!

Today's speciality and more chicken recipes!!!

I took a look at my chicken recipes today and one chicken recipe caught my eye. It's one of our family favorites but since I started to work again, I haven't had much time to cook it :( So, I went to the grocery store, bought some ground chicken and made it as a Sunday's speciality. We all love chicken and are always looking for more chicken recipes

home style chicken burger

ingredients
2 lb ground chicken
4 slices bread (squeezed)
1 egg
1/4 cup parsley(finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon blackpepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 onion(minced)
1 clove garlic(minced)

Mix all the ingredients together squeezing with fingers to incorparete till smooth.
Shape into petties firmly. Serve in hamburger rolls with greens,
pickles, tomato slices, onion..Up to you guys!

If you like chicken and cook often probably you know this but if you are just starting to cook, I'd like to share a few tips about chicken with you guys;

-Never allow cooked chicken to sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

-Freeze uncooked chicken if it is not to be used within 2 days. If properly packaged, frozen chicken will maintain top quality in a home freezer for up to 6 months.

-Thaw chicken in the refrigerator, under cold running water, or in the microwave - never at room temperature, which provides bacteria with an ideal temperature to grow.

Do you use boneless- skinless chicken breasts often in recipes?

-Package them for the freezer in recipe-size portions. This lets you thaw only the amount you need and prevents extra pieces of raw chicken. Also cutting boneless skinless chicken breasts into pieces can be a slippery task. For the safer way, cut the chicken while it is partially frozen. It's much easier to handle:)

-Always cook chicken until well done, not medium or rare. When the chicken is completely cooked, the juices should run clear.

Enjoy cooking!

It has been a while...

Since school's started and I started to work again, no time for blogging guys. Honestly, I miss my days full of cooking and blogging. I'm going trough another part of my life and it is different than last 10 years. Finding balance is not easy Anyway, w'all are OK. Big changes take time!

Sometimes, I read a few blogs and maybe can't even visit them again for a few weeks. Sorry about that. But I miss you, reading your blogs and being witness of your daily lives. It makes me so happy when I see your comments. Even though I'm not a good blogger friend anymore. Thank y'all!

I wrote about Blue Sky Scrub before, a few times. If you missed them I'd like talk about their products one more time.

http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/

If you are in the medical field, you might know about their scrubs. Blue sky nursing scrubs, scrub hats are made from the highest quality cotton fabrics, hundreds of designs, and made in USA.

They serve scrub hats for the purpose of keeping doctors’ and nurses’ hair out of the way for the safety/protecting of patient. I know finding a hair in your salad is one thing..and finding one in a surgical incision is quite another one. For those who work in a hospital or out patient clinic, scrub hats are a vital part of the work day.

Blue Sky Scrub hats come in so many different colors and styles, bring fashion to your day, your look and complete the uniform. Wearing a uniform is not boring anymore:) Is it?

They offer two styles of scrub tops and scrub pants for women and multiple colors for all men in the medical field or beyond. The fabric they used is soft, wrinkle-resistant fabric.

Blue Sky Scrubs Lab Coat offers abundant storage for papers, pens, stethoscopes, and whatever else the busy medical and nursing professional may need with a polished look.

If you have a time, go check out their website! Enjoy reading!

Love y'all!
I'll share some new pics next time:)

Summer Camp

Contribution by Kennith Griffin

Who in their right mind would want to run a summer camp? That’s what I should have been asking myself about 5 years ago when I bought this place but I didn’t and here I am, the owner of a fully functioning summer camp out in the Adirondacks. Don’t get me wrong, I love kids and being outdoors all the time but it’s been a big hassle getting through all the red tape and the parents are the worst. They’re always in my grill about something! I’ve slowly been upgrading this camp to be more a reflection of what I wanted it to be by adding stuff like pillowtop mattresses for all the beds and a rope swing out onto the river. I even got http://expertsatellite.com/ satellite for the counselors’ cabins so when they’ve got a day off they really feel like they can take some time and chill! I think the place is great but it’s a lot more work than I ever imagined it would be. Isn’t everything worthwhile, though?

guest post-comments off-

17 years old being together and married for 13 years....

Hubby and I have been wearing our wedding rings since the day we got engaged. They are basic, yellow gold, square with a round cut stone and I love my ring.

After I got an email from Bertie, I met Stephen Einhorn's website and got a chance to see their amazing engagement/wedding ring sets. I've been hanging around their lovely website, checking out those gorgeous rings, necklaces, bracelets, charms, earrings but especially wedding rings:) It's really hard to choose one if you have so many wonderful choices. Isn't it?

I had a great time spending my early morning at Stephen Einhorn website. It was a lovely start to my Sunday:)

Here is my favorite!

Jump 4 Engagement & Wedding Ring Set 18 Carat White Gold & Princess Cut Blue Sapphire

A very modern engagement and wedding ring set that is called 'Jump'.

With a 4x4mm princess cut stone set flush into the band.

This ring is simply stunning, unusual, stylish, sophisticated and cool. The matching Jump wedding band sits snugly next to the engagement ring, the tops being flush together.

They handmake those beautiful jewellery designs in their own London workshops, so you can order this set in a variety of precious metals including yellow gold, white gold rose gold or platinum.
