Happy New Year!!!

Posted on December 31, 2018May 6, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

It’s a strange thing, time, and what I find remarkable is this is the one and only time that nearly every man women and child is watching the time at exactly the same time. The anticipation builds with a mad search for the right thing to wear the right place to wear it, and the…

Tears Of Joy

Posted on August 8, 2018December 8, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

So, isn’t it amazing that the things we love the most always make us cry? Everything, from old movies and lovers, to onions; and, I’ll bet you didn’t know that the city Chicago means onion. The Great Lake Indians originally called onions She-Khe-Ony,  so,  I guess Chicago is the “Big Onion”. I love onion everything;…

Ice Cream

Posted on July 1, 2018December 8, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

Chilling Screams! I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! These calls were first heard in New York City in the mid 1700s. Italian immigrants yelled I Scream, Ice Cream; in the streets as they peddled their hand cranked ice cream from their little pushcarts. Our obsession with frozen treats began long ago….

Cockle Shells – Oysters

Posted on June 24, 2018October 8, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

“A loaf of bread,” the Walrus said, “is chiefly what we need; Pepper and vinegar besides are very good indeed-Now if you’re ready, oysters dear, We can begin to feed.” By Lewis Carroll in “Through the looking-glass.” A couple of weeks ago I attended the annual Oyster Cloyster at the aquarium in Newport. It was…

Carrots

Whats up Doc?

Posted on June 15, 2018July 15, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

When I think of carrots I automatically think of Bugs Bunny, he and Mr. Spock on Star Trek were my idols as a child. In fact I consider myself to be sort of a warped cross between the two. I remember Bugs always had a great time outsmarting Elmer Fudd, and he always had a…

Jug of Wine

Posted on May 30, 2018October 13, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

‘A Jug of Wine,  A loaf of Bread and Thou’ Mans love affair with Wine has no beginning, and no end; it is the alpha and the omega of libations. Theories abound as to its origin, one that stands out is the story of an ancient group of nomads who stored grapes in barrels, one…

The Mighty Pea

Posted on May 23, 2018November 25, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

It was a dark and stormy night, Rick and I were becoming restless, and we needed something warm and comforting to get us through those drab winter night, nights that begin at three in the afternoon. After a moments thought we remembered what there is only one thing than can transform a day like this…

The Stinking Rose

Posted on May 5, 2018November 25, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

The Stinking Rose.  There are lots of legends and myths about Garlic like the one that when Satan fled the Garden of Eden…. Garlic sprang from his left footprint and onions from his right. The Gods Love wine and cheese and many other delicacies but, apparently, what they have no tolerance for is bad breath,…

Alligator Pears

Posted on February 5, 2018December 8, 2018 by Crystal Hayes

I love to be all cozy and warm on stormy days like today. The wind pummels the world outside while the fire cracks and pops. It’s just lovely. The distant sound of a football game in the other room reminds me of the super bowls ever looming presence, I need to begin to plan Rick’s…
