Lullaby wants to know what a loving home feels like.

Lullaby's beautifully expressive eyes reveal a young girl who is tender-hearted and sensitive, yearning to be loved for her own worth, not for her commercial value as a breeding machine. 

She is a pretty Chihuahua, spayed, 2 years of age, good with people and dogs, and debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.

Sarah Belle dreams of a Christmas miracle.

So grateful to be getting tender care, Sarah Belle delights in giving you doggie kisses.

Surprise Shopping Trip

Hubby is on leave for the Thanksgiving holidays. He is not working starting today. He will be back work on Monday.

We didn't plan anything big but to spend some time together. I was surprised when he told me that he was going to his work for a while. Little did I know that he was just gonna bring me to the mall to shop. Isn't that sweet?

He gave me time to check the stores that I like without having Andrea to tow around. He and Andrea went to kids stores and played in the mall.

I took time to check the specialty stores of my liking. Found great deals but really didn't buy them. I contented myself in looking at them and admiring them. I went to Coach to buy purse for a friend. I found a great deal and was happy about my purchase.

Then I went to Vanity Fair to buy something else for hubby.

I really enjoyed shopping by myself knowing that Andrea is well taken cared of and I don't have to rush as I was given time to (window) shop all I want.

Tuscan Roast Turkey

Wow, Thanksgiving is around the corner. So, want to spice up your turkey this Thanksgiving? Why not try to cook Tuscan Roast Turkey.



Serving Size: 16

1 16-pound young turkey
Kosher salt, to taste
1 cup Tuscan Herb Paste
1 teaspoon fennel seeds, crushed
2 teaspoons celery salt
3 fennel stalks with fronds, rough chopped
3 onions, large dice
1 stalk celery, small dice
2 1/4 quarts chicken stock
3 ounces all-purpose flour



Remove giblets from turkey’s cavity, rinse cavity and pat dry, set aside. Season turkey inside and out with Kosher salt.

Mix Tuscan Herb Paste with crushed fennel seeds and celery salt. Starting at the neck of the bird, slip your hand between the meat and the skin to loosen.

Rub half the paste mix under skin, and rub remaining paste inside the cavity and over the rest of the turkey.

Season all over with kosher salt.

Place two-thirds of the chopped onion and fennel stalks inside cavity. Truss bird.

Place turkey in a roasting pan. Roast at 400°F for 30 minutes.

Reduce temperature to 325°F and continue cooking the turkey to an internal temperature of 160°F, approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Baste turkey often during cooking with juices from pan. If turkey begins to overbrown, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.

As turkey roasts, simmer giblets (neck, heart and gizzard), the other one-third of the fennel stalk, onion mix and diced celery in 1 quart chicken stock until tender, approximately 1 1/2 hours.

When turkey is done, remove from roasting pan and set aside to rest. Degrease roasting pan, reserving 3 ounces of fat to make a roux.

Deglaze pan with a small amount of chicken stock. Transfer stock to a saucepot, and add remaining stock and broth from giblets. Bring to a simmer and degrease.

Make a blond roux with reserved fat and flour. Add roux to the liquid, whisking well to prevent lumps. Simmer 15 minutes. Strain gravy through a fine-meshed strainer. Adjust seasoning.

Comedy Special

This post brought to you by American Family Insurance. All opinions are 100% mine.

Are you familiar with the Stand Up For Family comedy special? This show is hosted by Bill Bellamy and presented by AmFam. Have you seen the videos? I enjoyed watching the videos and my favorite is the Still Free video. The video makes me remember myself and my siblings being young.

We didn't have much growing up. We didn't even have dolls. We play games and stayed outdoors with kids our age. We play the most indigenous games you can ever imagine. We play rocks, empty cans, sticks. Our yard is our playground. We didn't have expensive toys but we had a lot of fun. We were kids enjoying outdoor games and we enjoyed playing in the rain

Kids nowadays are different during my younger years. Most kids now have battery operated toys. Their toys are technologically advanced. Most of them don't even go outdoors very much. Oh, how things have changed!

Anyway, American Family Insurance made a cool effort in presenting a comedy show that features famous comedians sharing their own perspective about family. It is really cool to watch the videos. If you haven't seen any of them, you should check it out. These videos are not just entertaining but they promote family values.

For the Love of Writing

I didn't forced my daughter to learn how to write. I just noticed that she was ready to do it on her own. She has a book where she can trace the letters and I was just so surprise that she can do it on her own.

She still has to learn a lot of things but I am glad she is eager to learn. She is into writing these days and she is getting good too.

Share a Laugh

This post brought to you by American Family Insurance. All opinions are 100% mine.

I grew up in a very close knitted family. We are a typical Filipino family - very close to each other, religious and poor. Yes, we grew up in poverty to the point of not being able to eat good meals some times. But my parents worked hard in order to provide us the necessities. I know how much they sacrificed for us to grow up well and be educated.

Despite the hardships that we encountered, we always find something to laugh at. We shared laughter at home. My mom and dad taught us to behave and be respectful to everyone. They instilled in our mind how to behave in other places. When I saw the video of Momma Talk presented by American Family Insurance it made me laugh as I remember how my mom does the same things to us. Watching the video made me think of my younger years with mom lecturing us of all the do's and dont's.

I enjoyed watching the videos of Stand Up For Family. The Stand up for Family is a comedy special sponsored by AmFam . This show is hosted by Bill Bellamy. This show is perfect for the whole family to enjoy. It features famous comedians sharing family stories. A very funny show that can be enjoyed by all ages.

He is loving and engaging, but seems content with occasional solitude.

Chagall is most likely a Hotot and English Spot mix. He is neutered and about 3 years of age.

We rescued him from another shelter, presumably another victim of the annual Easter gimmick (whereby rabbits are sold by breeders for a quick buck and then discarded within weeks or months afterward).

Please visit our new Lovebugs Room to adopt rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, and hamsters, and ask for this sweetheart by name. He is one of 100 rescued, spayed/neutered bunnies awaiting new, caring lifelong homes.

Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi called the digitally altered image an “unacceptable” and offensive manipulation of the pope’s likeness, according to the Associated Press. Benetton removed the image shortly thereafter and it is no longer on the website.

Meanwhile Benetton Said that the meaning of their Unhate Campaign as “Unhate is a message that invites us to consider that hate and love are not as far away from each other as we think,” the campaign’s website said. “Actually, the two opposing sentiments are often in a delicate and unstable balance. Our campaign promotes a shift in the balance: don’t hate, Unhate.”
