Christmas store

A couple of nights ago we ran across this wonderful store in Grand Rapids.

What luck!  It was open.

Isn't this stained glass beautiful?  I love dogwoods.

We stepped inside and were enveloped by Christmas magic

Burger love

I love burgers.

They're yummy and relatively simple to make.

The great burger equation

Beef burgers are my favorite, but I'm always on the lookout for healthier alternatives. This weekend I found a new burger to try:

Yum, fresh from the garden.

Go ahead.  Take a big virtual bite.

It was surprisingly good.  The patties had a nice firm texture and were delicious with feta, tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard on toasted multi-grain bread. 

Ooh.  I'm getting hungry just thinking about it...

If I had a million dollars

I would invest in technology that transforms human energy into usable energy.

A sketched technical schematic

Imagine it- solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, and... people energy!

I'll take a bite of that

Today I took it on my shoulders to be the official food taste tester of the family.

Taking my responsibilities seriously, I had to taste test hubby's dinner

and his dessert too.

Both safe.  Phew.  Now he can eat.
