Happy Birthday shugga :)


Happiness is enjoying a cup (or two) of Peet's Major Dickason's - on Anne's recommendation  ;D

Yaye Dar!

Happiness is...I licked my fingers after prepping my Hatch NM (Hot!) chilis for my sauce tonight.  Mmmmmmm - I love that stinging spicy hot chili rush! :)

Happiness comes and goes...especially when living abroad.  One day is very up and another can be a bit down, like when you get your first foreign driving violation.  The key is to find lasting joy that guides you through the ups and downs.

But if I had to list it specifically it would rest on the shoulders of small things...like crushing fresh black peppercorns onto your food and just enjoying the aroma....it is right up there with the smell of fresh basil as you bite into it....ok, so I might be a bit hungry at the moment!

...eating a fresh baguette outdoors, with nothing on it, just by ripping off hunks and sharing.
