A Perfect Florida Destination

Sea Turtle Beach would be enough to make me want to go to Jensen Beach but then I looked at a Drone filmed video and the long spacious beach cemented my desire to visit Jensen, Florida.

The Home of Royal Delft (1653)

If I could go to Delft,Netherlands the place I would like to visit is the Royal Delft factory. But first it would be good to become familiar with the history.

I own a small piece of Delftware that was given me as a gift in the 1960s and I would love to see how it is made etc.

What will we find at LaSalle, Illinois ?

Everytime my recipe goes to a destination I have never been to, I am excited to explore to see what I would put on my itinerary of "things to do".
It didn't take me long to put the Volunteer canal boat on my list. It has all the features I love about living history replicas - right down to the very cool feature of the canal boat being pulled by mules.
Meet the two mules

The boat tour is about an hour long with a commentary of the local history but this video is only 4 minutes long. I enjoyed it very much.

What is this fruit? Kumquat or what?

We had this discussion at our dinner table and the best we could do was take a wild guess and we decided it probably was a Kumquat.
It didn't take long to learn, once I got back to my computer, that we had been given cape gooseberries, also known as physalis

So then, What is a Kumquat?

Just think how fantastic the Recipe Postcards will look in this clear pink recipe box?!

They said, "No one would come!"

I dream daydreams. Most of them live short lives and then disappear but then there are dreams that linger for decades.
My sister and I would talked about ways we could pass our family recipes on to our children and grandchildren and that we "really should put together a family cookbook". Adding more fuel to the 'recipe dream'. It never happened as she passed away before she retired and we could not start our book.
Google arrived on the scene and everyone said, "no one would buy a cookbook when they could google it". They all said "No one would come!".

My 'field of dreams' would not die. I went back to my original recipe dream back in the 1970's where I dreamt I sold one recipe at a time from my Family Recipe Box. Each recipe would be designed by me with images from family stories of gardens, travel and history.
My idea was met with "No one will buy ONE recipe!" "No one will come!".

All too soon I hit the age of 70 years old and I was still daydreaming recipes. I was running out of time and needed to "BUILD and not worry about whether they will come or not!"
I started experimenting to see if my recipes would fit on the Zazzle.com postcards and after days of adjusting and designing I finally published my first recipes and a couple of months later someone bought ONE recipe.

I did the Granny Happy Dance!

My personal field of dreams went to the world stage and "the people came"! Now you can Google 'recipes GramaBarb' and you will find my recipes. Now Google works for me not against me.

Two Paws up for Dallas,Texas

White Rock Lake, Dallas, Texas
After a week in Dallas I was "head over heels in love" with it! It was filled to the brim with everything a person imagines about Texas. "BIG!" It certainly had a Texas personality and hospitality for visitors to enjoy.
So when over 20 different recipe postcards were recently purchased I had to take a virtual trip to Dallas.
It was hard to pick one feature to write about until I came across the words "Dog-Friendly Dallas". I screeched to a stop and checked the dog page out. Sure enough Dallas was BIG on dogs. This page features a long list of activities and places that will make you and your dog feel very special. click Dog-Friendly Dallas
