Four Wheelin

Back on the road. Entertained by Cooking Light, my grocery list and The Postmistress.

Just had my sandwich and split our one and only pear with the driver (that was hard… You know how hard it is to feed a juicy, falling apart pear to another human?!)

I know these photos aren’t ideal, but this has been the easiest blog vacation ever! No editing. No uploading. Anywhere blogging. So convenient!

It’s my turn to drive : (

    Pear is not travel friendly food, stick to grapes!

        good example of why it’s wise to consider alternate possibilities before judging :). Yep, Kath and Matt have an inside (well, can it really still be “inside” if she’s explained it on the blog?) joke. If you ever see her mention spinach on the blog, she spells it correctly.

    If you’ve ever seen the World War II observation towers along the Atlantic Ocean in Delaware, you may have wondered, as I have, what it was like to live or vacation in that area during World War II. Although the setting is Cape Cod, The Postmistress provides insight into the feelings and fears of those who lived on the Atlantic shore at that time.

    I read The Postmistress on a work trip this summer. I was in Europe at the time so it was fun to read while it took place in parts there.

    Ha ha…I’m reading the Postmistress and have that Cooking Light magazine. I made the Mac & Cheese last night for dinner for my hubby and two kids. They loved it. I did not tell them about the squash though…that would have caused lots of gagging and rude faces. Personally, I thought the sauce was the best ever and I would use it again over pasta or maybe even baked over chicken. Today I’m making a roasted pear and squash soup from Clean Eating magazine. Yum!
