Thankfulness & Rosemary Nuts

I saw this today and had to share, just in case you need something quick to whip up: Spicy, Sweet & Salty Rosemary Nuts.

I think I am going to make some tonight, as these are sisters after my own heart: "Once nuts have cooled, break apart the clusters and serve with super dirty martinis and champagne cocktails. Now that’s the holiday spirit!" Yeah!

I too, have a spicy nut recipe, that I will share with you once it is published. Yes, that is a hint, that I have something coming up. It is super exciting, at least for me, as this blogging gig was just a fun hobby to corral all my notes, and a way to practice my HTML and Photoshop skills.

So, this leads into what I am thankful for this week. In addition to all the wonderful blessings in my life, I am thankful for you, my readers! That you read my blog, comment, encourage me and generally help reinforce the fact that this is fun!

I know that in the big scheme of things, decorating and entertaining have their proper place. While I love to pore over magazines and work on color schemes, I also know that style should not be our only concern. There is a world full of orphans, widows, poverty and injustice, where obsessing over paint colors is dwarfed by obsessing over whether or not you will have enough food for your family.

I hope you find that my sense of style is always tempered by the fact that I realize there is more to life. Just because food and decorating is my passion, it does not mean that I care whether or not it is yours. So I am thankful that you choose to check in and enjoy my journey, as I create my own domicile style and share ways to create yours. Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours, and I will be back on Friday with a look at what I find interesting.
