Really - Recipe for Toast?

Hi Friends,

I found this recipe on the Internet and thought you would have a good time reading it. Of course, I shortened the article to just include the recipe, along with a picture of The Perfect Toast.

According to the article, we love our toast. For breakfast, reseachers say 71% of us that eat bread like it warm and toasted. So if that many of us are going to eat toast, we need to make it Perfect!

In fact, a research food team spent a whole week toasting and tasting slices of bread. The team came up with this recipe for The Perfect Toast:


*Start with pale, seeded bread that has been refrigerated at a temperature of 37.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

*Get a ruler to measure the thickness of your bread that should be 14mm or 0.551181 inches.

*You need to have a stopwatch so you can toast your bread for 216 seconds. Your toast will be golden-brown with a balanced external crunch and an internal softness.

*When you remove The Perfect Toast, add your butter right away. Got a scale? The best amount of butter is 0.44 grams per square inch. Get that ruler again! Measure that the butter is 1/17 inch of thickness of the bread. Got this done? PERFECT!!

*Stop reading! Hurry up and get your toast cut on the diagonal. Not sure why except that the research team recipe said so.

*Serve your toast on a plate that is warmed to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure it is not any hotter or toast will continue to cook and ruin The Perfect

* Enjoy your PERFECT TOAST!!

I hope you enjoyed this article.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Make Your Escape With Me

Good Morning Friends,

I am having a hard time watching the news lately and my "liking" on social media has been more of  pulling the covers over my head action. Lately, I've been finding some peace and joy by escaping to watch my favorite HGTV shows: such as "Flip or Flop"; "Flea Market Flip"; and "Property Brothers." One or all of them are on everyday as I work on my jewelry blings or do housework. These shows help me to escape into my dream world.

Of course my favorite way of escape is going into my jewelry creation world. There are times when I just want to loose myself into the fun and creative world in my jewelry work area where I hear the sounds of other creations being made in the background on the television.

What other happiness is there than doing what you love to do? Come and make your escape with me by looking at my latest jewelry bling:

2016 Fall Fashion Color Trends

Hi Friends,

According to my searches, one of the 2016 Fall Fashion Color Trends is:



Sharkskin is any shade of gray and can be combined with any bright or muted color. See this picture from 9to5Chic which combines a straight variegated gray skirt, white blouse, a light gray long jacket and a mustard purse:



Since mustard is also a 2016 Fall Fashion Color, in my opinion here is a turquoise and mustard bracelet set from The Beaded Pathway that would go wonderfully with this outfit. You can see details for this spicy boho set at www.thebeadedpathway.etsy.com. Like it, buy it and save 10% off now with coupon - mademyday10.

Life's Five W's

Hi Friends,

The first thing I have to do when I get out of bed in the morning is take a pill for my osteopenia. This pill needs to be taken on a empty stomach with a full glass of water and 30 minutes before I can have anything else including COFFEE! UGH!

So I had to find something to do for 30 minutes in my quiet time before the rest of the household awakens. I wanted something to keep me relaxed and peaceful.

Then one day cleaning out my forever emails, I found a solicitation to register for Oprah & Deepak's 21-Day Meditation Experience, Getting Unstuck: Creating a Limitless Life. Each meditation is approximately 20 minutes long and there is a thought for the day and a mantra.

These meditations are very soothing, relaxing and peaceful. They get my day started in a calming atmosphere. I feel refreshed after listening.

I wanted to share The 5 W's of Life with you. I hope you enjoy.




Have a great day,
Sue

Where Does The Day Go?

Hi Friends,

Keeping track of the days of the week has been a big quest for me since retirement. With having my husband retired, I can't keep track on the days of the week with him home every day. Not just on Saturday and Sunday. I find it amazing that such a small change has sent me on a tail spin.

Even looking at the calendar I can't figure it out without knowing the date. Now I hope that a special occasion is indicated on the calendar to use as a starting point whether forward or backward. Either way, the days go by TOO FAST!

Really, I thought retirement was going to have more hours in the day/week without rushing about getting ready for work and driving one and half hours to and from work every day. But no, every day is just flying by. Even my husband comments about where has the day gone. Time just needs to sloooow down!

I have found some time to post at www.thebeadedpathway.etsy.com this stunningly unique, one of a kind, handmade, artisan jewelry creation: Black Oval Pendant Necklace. Go to The Beaded Pathway to view the details.

Bucket List-What's On Yours?

Hi Friends,

When I was texting with my brother the other day, he mentioned that he and his wife were at Niagara Falls. Excited, I texted back that Niagara Falls was on my bucket list. He sent me a picture:


Wow, I can almost here/feel the power of the Falls just looking at the picture. Can you? What beautiful sights of nature we have in America.

Do you have a bucket list? What's on it?

Have a great day,
Sue
