Hello and happy Sunday to you. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Spring is almost here but I am not ruling out snow (it’s happened before!). We have a dinner party and plans with friends, trying to keep moving though I must admit I am totally consumed with the situation in Ukraine. I really do go through such a range of emoticons from guilt,to immense anger, helplessness and deep sadness. It is hard to not think about the widespread human suffering happening while it’s life as normal in this part of the world.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile,\u00a0 we are trying to do our part, donating portions of proceeds for various campaigns (another one tomorrow)\u00a0 and thanks to you, doing amazing!<\/p>\n

I am doing a campaign with Unicef to raise $5000 by March 21st. In one day we are already at the halfway point!. Bravo to you! Please consider donating, no amount is too small. Unicef is well established and on the ground administering first aid, humanitarian relief in the name of food, supplies, etc….a wonderful organization that is already set up with many feet on the ground working around the clock at the border crossings.<\/p>\n

1 A BEAUTIFUL SOUL <\/strong>I am so in awe of Jos\u00e8 Andr\u00e8s and his incredible organization, World Culture Kitchen. He has been working around the clock in subzero temps providing meals for up to 4500 people in Ukraine at the Polish Border. I cannot even imagine the logistics it requires to get that rolling and operating on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

He sure has earned his wings in heaven, along with so many others.I am honored to say that we\u00a0 were able to make a generous donation yesterday as 10% of the porcelain sale proceeds went to WCK. His work is awe inspiring and is serving more than a plate of food, he is serving them a plate of hope. A remarkable man.

4 A FEW PAIRS OF SPRING-Y SHOES! <\/strong>I love Jack Rogers and have worn them for years. I think these mid sized wedges are so cute, and such a practical height. Just enough for a little lift but not so much that you need to forgo comfort plus the comfort of a wedge is hard to beat. Offered in several colors and variation, I have 2 pair on the way just in time for spring! Click here to see their collection<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

6 YUM!<\/strong> I have really enjoyed the incredible endless food vault that is Half Baked Harvest.<\/strong><\/em><\/a> I cannot look at her Instagram or website on an empty stomach. The one recipe I had made, since discovering her was out of this world delish. I love that most of her recipes have a healthy angle and use lots of herbs and lemon (a flavor I love).<\/p>\n

Now I have my sights set on this one skillet chicken meatballs with lemon orzo and whipped feta. She said its one of the top ten of her all time most popular recipes. I mean look at this!! Click here to visit her site for the recipe<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (and so many more). This may well be on my menu today:)<\/p>\n

How divine does this look?<\/p>\n

This is her\u00a0 creamy white bean lemon orzo soup, SO GOOD!<\/p>\n

7\u00a0 SUNDAY’S SURVEY<\/strong> I am so curious now that the mask mandates in most areas have been lifted, if you are still wearing one some, all or none of the time. I must admit, I still do in most public places.And surprsingly, when I was out and about yesterday, I would say about 50% of the people were too. Partially out of habit and partially because I still am fearful, though I recognize the chances of my contacting Covid is under 2%. Ironically we know 2 people who got Covid this week (one who works with my husband) so my mask remains on,\u00a0 most of the time in public places And you?<\/p>\n
