Have you Seen “My Sister’s Keeper?”
Has anyone been to see the movie, My Sister’s Keeper? I loved the book as did several of my book club friends. So we went to the movie one afternoon. I liked the movie but was amazed at how many thing were changed in the movie, especially the ending. Okay, I won’t say any more. I don’t want to ruin the movie for anyone. I’d like to hear what you think about the movie. Since my book Tessa and Claudine is about sisters, I do, of course, like these sister stories.
My daughter, her husband, and their daughter, Mary, are coming for a visit today. Their two boys are at a Scout camp. I am making a new recipe, a tomato tart. It sounds delicious. I baked a pie shell this am. I plan to fill it with grated mozzarella cheese, sliced tomato, zuchinni, fresh basil from the garden, a bit of minced garlic, fresh parmesan cheese, and drizzle olive oil on top.. oh and I forgot, I will lined the pie crust with dijon mustard before I add these ingredients. Sounds pretty good, right? I will let you know how it turns out. My husband is grilling some lamb, and I will toss a green salad. And dfor dessert my speciality — failed fudge over ice cream.
Yes, many years ago, I attempted to make fudge, and you got it. I failed, so we put the hot gooey mess on ice cream. And it became a family favorite. We will be celebrating my daughter, Kristen’s birthday, so we can stick a candle in the ice cream. Beats a cake any day. I’d better go wipe those counter tops. I will have a new sister story next time.
Drop me a line. I’m waiting your YOUR sister stories.

Hi Lisbeth, I had such a good time yesterday sharing poems with you and learning more about your work and writing projects! Thank you for hosting our very first poetry group!
I loved your sister stories, and have a few myself, and I was so inspired by your Tomato Tart recipe that I think I’ll make it today!! It sounds yummy. Thanks again for a delightful afternoon yesterday.

Carol, I had a delightful time at our poetry session,too. What fun hearing your poems and sharing ideas. I still see the image of the falling snow and hear the sound of silence — and I see Mrs. Pitts in her garden with her socks rolled at her ankles. No wonder your son is a successful writer. He got those genes from you.
And yes, the tomato tart recipe is delicious. By the way my weblog is still a work in progress. I still have to learn how to add photos. I can’t wait to include a photo of our poetry group. Perhaps the name of our group should reflect nature.

I love it! There are days when recipes like this are all that are needed to correct a
Hi Samantha, Yes, I did see My Sister’s Keeper and also read the book. What a touching story. The movie was not quite the same as the book, but I enjoyed both. I checked out your website. Great recipes. As you can see, my blog is mostly about writing. I do, however, add recipes now and then. I enjoy cooking and sharing recipes. My readers enjoy the recipes. Stop in again. I will mention your website on my blog. Perhaps you can mention mine also. Thanks. Lisbeth
