This and That #8 - Things I "Love"

Happy Galentine's Day! I certainly recognize the impact that my friends have on my life and their loyalty, love and laughter. My blog friends are very dear to me also and are the reason I have kept blogging for all these years. So Happy Galentine's Day to all of us! And Cheers! 
We had an early Valentine's dinner last evening which we both enjoyed. You can find the recipe here.  Millionaire Gnocchi 
For all you Key Lime pie lovers....For lunch in Key West on Tuesday, I ordered Key Lime pie. Had no idea it would come with Major Meringue!! It was the best I have ever had, but I could only eat half of it.  
Joe's french fries were served in this mini french fry basket. I might have to try this at home.  
Who doesn't love a French patisserie?
Key West is quirky and always upbeat I snapped a photo of a house while walking by. I found out that they close one of the streets and have a large Valentine's Day party with bands, food and cocktails. You purchase a ticket, and it's all you can eat and drink.  
My friend who works at a nice restaurant knows I have similar heart wooden serving plate so she shared this with me as a back up plan for our anniversary dinner on Monday. Thankfully, Joe was able to secure a dinner reservation at our favorite restaurant. 
Our grandson Xavier's "Storm Landon" creations 2/4/22.  ❤
Our lovebug Harper turned one on February 9th.  
I wear my Team USA mittens during the winter Olympics, and am partial to the Olympic history when we visit Lake Placid, NY. The 1980 Olympics saw an estimated 51,000+ people in the village of Lake Placid on any given day, quite the deviation from their year-round population of 2,800. Does anyone remember the Miracle On Ice? I watch it over and over on You Tube. My son played hockey, and my mom and I were big fans. 
Isn't this the cutest way to gift a cupcake?  Save your Bonne Maman jam jars.

  8. Fun photos, Deb! I love the cupcake idea! We eat a lot of Bonne Maman, and I can't throw out those pretty jars and gingham lids. We use them for all sorts of things, so will add this idea to the list. They are fun to fill with picnic food and pack in a basket. Eat right out of the jars! Also individual pies baked in the jars.
