This was a to die for cupcake from Hardcore Sweet Cupcakes out of Waterbury, CT. They call it a Soul Food cupcake - sweet potato pie style with candied sweet potatoes in the cake topped with crumble and marshmallows. I think it's a cream cheesy type frosting, too, but I'm not sure about that. It was deeeelicious! If you are in the Waterbury area, you must check them out.

My Birthday Bouquet

A beautiful fall bouquet sent by a friend and a delicious dinner fixed by my daughter - and the company of my wonderful kids. What more could I ask for?

Black and Yellow Garden Spider

The front view of our resident garden spider.  She seems to like her hangout at the side of the house - plenty of insects.

Leo

A shot of Leo that I took sometime around last February.

Black and Yellow Garden Spider

She is about 3" long (I'm bad at estimating), and has been hanging out at the side of our house for a few weeks now. She is getting fatter and fatter since we have tons of insects from this warm summer.

Bacon Cheddar Cornbread

In addition to the Broccoli Cheddar cornbread, I spent the morning making Bacon Cheddar Cornbread. This is the one I will take to our Homecoming. That is tribal-speak. Translation: the families in our tribe come together once every year at Labor Day weekend for kind of a multi-day, multi-family reunion. There are various activities on Saturday and church and Dinner on the Grounds on Sunday. Our Sappony Homecoming has been an annual event for I don't know how long. A hundred years, maybe a hundred and fifty?  Two hundred years? Something like that. If you are interested, our tribal website is http://sappony.org/

Saturday is a time to participate in the activities from walkathon and kids' crafts and games to tribal history information and walks, lunch, tribal update meeting, voting and visiting with extended family. Our tribe boasts some of the best cooks in the region. And at Sunday's Homecoming's Dinner on the Grounds, there are tables after tables after tables loaded down with mouthwatering homemade specialities.  I usually bring my chocolate chess pie, but I wanted to do cornbread this year. 

I was planning an extravaganza of both Broccoli Cheddar Cornbread, Bacon Cheddar Cornbread and then toying with the idea of making a Butterscotch Pumpkin Cake, but had to scale down my plans because of my arm injury. And one of my best beloved friends voted for the Bacon Cheddar Cornbread, so that will be this year's contribution to Dinner on the Grounds.

And if you are interested in contributing to the Tribal Center preservation project that I referred to in this post http://www.kdstewart.net/Whats-New/Images-from-2012-dailies/21342710_3FH6pv#!i=2024740163&k=z5bJX8J, you can go to https://www.wepay.com/donations/tribal-center-preservation    We welcome any and all!

Broccoli Cheddar Cornbread

This is another in my family recipe project. We first tried this cornbread several years ago - the basic recipe was in a holiday cookbook - and we had it as a late morning tide-over at Thanksgiving. Turns out it was fabulous and my son loved it! So we have had it at all times of the year since then. It has a very nice little kick of spice to it, too.

Wheelie Ham Salad

Another from my family recipe project! This is Wheelie Ham Salad, that I used to make quite a bit when my children were young. I think the attraction to kids is the 'wagon wheels' pasta. Also has zucchini, yellow squash (because I had one in the house), tomatoes and cucumber (because I had one in the house). And fresh basil (I have some growing in a pot on my deck), plain yogurt and ranch dressing makes up the dressing.  Yum!

If you are interested in the recipe, it is on my blog at http://karastewartaip.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-family-cookbook-project.html

I only have time to post and comment pretty much on the weekends now, so thank you for bearing with me.

Caprese Salad

Today is the last day of summer.  :(  Caprese salad always reminds me of summer - fabulous with homegrown basil and ripe garden tomatoes.  

Thanks for all your kind comments and support. Although I am glad to be starting a new job, the medical issues are complicating things. I had an adverse reaction to Hep B and tetanus vaccines (you have to be up to date on vaccines when you switch teaching districts).  The reaction resulted in brachial neuritis - nerve damage to my right arm. I am past the severe pain part and now in the muscle weakness/lack of range of motion and shooting pains part. It is difficult to do daily things like shower, shampoo, brush teeth, eat, etc. I will be doing PT exercises and my goal is to be back to pretty much normal by Thanksgiving/Christmas.

I need more time and more summer!

Sappony Tribal Center

Continuing my photo diary of my year, this is our tribal center, where I took the turtle shot I posted a few days ago. We have just completed Phase I of a project with the VA DOT and had the driveway and parking lot paved and created a beautiful walking trail (where the turtle was). We are now running a campaign to raise funds to do some needed maintenance to the buildings -roof, logs and other exterior repairs. More info about the campaign is here: https://www.wepay.com/donations/tribal-center-preservation (and feel free to contribute if you would like!). And more information about our tribe is here: http://sappony.org/

School starts Thursday and I am also working through a medical situation that hit in the last few weeks, so I will be posting sporadically to add to my photo diary of my year, and commenting also sporadically. I thought this smaller, more relaxed community would be a good fit.

Oh my goodness!  And my gallery formatting is back!  The best reason of all for switching over here. :)

Beach Kaleidescope 2

This is another image I made from one of Ed Spadoni's beach shots as part of Ed and Rey's 2 Guys Photo blog challenge - Photography or art? Now it's YOUR turn - on Ed's July 19 blog post at http://2guysphoto.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/photography-or-art-now-its-your-turn/

Ed followed up with The Results Are In, at http://2guysphoto.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/photography-or-art-the-results-are-in/ and you can see some of the variations on his shot.

Ed says that if anyone would still like to participate (it's lots of fun!), you can still send him your versions of his photo and he will post another round of variations. Just go to 2 Guys Photo blog at the link above and you'll find the info for where to send it to him.

UPDATE: I've just been informed that the critiquing is only to take place for those who say in their postings or jump start comments that they want it. I must have missed that part of the discussion. I am sorry if I have stepped on any toes by attempting to critique those who didn't indicate in their posts that it is ok.  

As for mine - it's always ok to give constructive criticism.
