THE HEAT IS ON..... what to make?

Well this week has brought us summer temperatures and heat, will be over 30C for days. Not what I like, but just have to make the best of it.

One thing that I have been looking at are some simple , easy recipes to try out. Something cool and easy to make. When the heat is on I usually make a favourite cold cucumber soup and serve with cold cuts, slices of baguette and fresh vegetables.

CHICKEN SALAD with MANDARINES this recipe I use to make ,(before moving here) its DELICIOUS and simple. So when I found a recipe I thought I share it. PS I don't bother with the pears, the mandarines are enough , (it is slightly different to what i remember , the chicken was marinated in the dressing and then cooked.)

1/2 qt. Kraft Poppyseed Dressing

1 cups Frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed

8 qt. Romaine lettuce, torn into pieces

3 qt. Cooked boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped

1-1/4 qt. Canned pear slices, drained

1 qt. Canned mandarin oranges, drained

1/2 qt. Green onion, chopped

1/2 qt. Raisins or dried cranberries

MIX Dressing and orange juice concentrate until well blended.

TOSS Romaine, chicken, pears, orange segments, onions, and raisins in large bowl.
ADD Dressing; mix lightly. Serve immediately.

COOL TREATS for Summer

A recipe for Fudgesiscles , something I haven't had for ages. The recipe is vegan so worth a try. I found it here on this blog. https://gina-michele.com/2021/06/easy-and-delicious-vegan-fudgesicles.html

The recipe has only 4 ingredients so sounds simple to make... and also a yummy treat for a hot summer day like we are having.

Pockets please!!/ fashion

Well as the title says…. Pocket s please! This week has been a very painful week. I recently injured my knee badly. Not able to move stand or walk. When finally bit better I finally managed to move . I needed something to wear that I could put my phone in , glasses medicine in. Any dress I thought I could use didn’t have pockets for anything. Why??? When I think back there usually were pocket inserts nicely sewn on inside of slacks or dresses. Now you rarely find that . I guess it’s a cost saving , less material needed and no extra time used sewing a pockrr er r in. Maybe it’s to give an outfit a more neat look, no bulging pockets. Meanwhile mens wear there are always pockets. Do you like outfit with pockets?
