Pink Punch

My friend is having a pink Tu Tu Party tomo and wanted to make a pink punch. This is an old school recipe that I found ages ago in Gracious Goodness …Charleston Bishop England High School cookbook. This is a fantab cookbook! You can easily double this recipe, be aware this makes a lot and even those who don’t love punch, love this punch!

Preppy Salmon

This is one of my most favorite salmon dishes ever! I have refered to it as Pink & Green "preppy" salmon! It is super easy yet delish enough to have at a dinner party! I do not care for the skin of fish, so I always ask my fish guy to remove the skin for me! This time I had bacon in the fridge, I crisped it up and crumbled it on top! YUM and I seared the salmon in the bacon drippings, to die... made the bright green "sauce" from stemed peas, pat of butter, splash of half & half and a little s&p. It is so good. Did I mention that?

39 candles on my Birthday cake

I am so excited to have seen The Birthday Project on pintrest!! I have been really kinda blue about my birthday, which is odd as typically I try to milk it for the entire month!! This year I am doing something that I know will bring me joy and I hope that it will bring 40 others a little unexpected joy as well. No, I am not yet 40, but  as a kid I always had 1 extra candle to celebrate one to grow on!! Now. I say why not have that one extra to celebrate what is to come?!

39 Acts of Random Kindness to celebrate my 39th Birthday!!

Wednesday, March 7th which happens to bed the day of the week I was born!

I am going to see how far I can spread my birthday cheer!

Robyn, the creator of The Birthday Project had 300 people share the Acts they did!!

Have ideas on what I should do?
