The cook is in

Hi all,

I am on a roll already. I can't believe I am showered and dressed for the birthday party. I have uploaded a new item on Etsy. I have checked my email. Fed the dogs and walked them. I have my potatoes and eggs cooking for the potato salad and it's only 8:45! It's scary how organized I'm getting.
It's another beautiful day here. The 4th day in a row 90-100 degrees. Thank God for air conditioning. I remember laying in the bathtub filled with cold water as a kid praying for winter. We never had air conditioning.
I finished a bracelet yesterday that I don't know if I can part with. I strung hand made blue/green lamp work beads with 10mm swarovsky crystals. I put a very elegant ballerina charm on it with some more crystals. If you think it sound boring it is just because you can't see the beads yet. The colors in the lamp work beads are some of the prettiest I have ever seen. Paired with the sparkle of the crystals  it is really special. One of the things I love about designing is looking for very unique beads. They are one of a kind and that makes them so sought after. Next week, that will be the first thing I do is post a picture of that. I hope I can capture the colors for you.
Well, I am off to do the second thing I love to  best and that is cooking. If I do so, I really love my own cooking as well.

I always ask what each birthday person wants me to cook for them special. Dave picked my homemade potato salad. I am also making him his favorite Lemon Tart. It is to die for and I would be happy to share the recipe for it, of course you must squeeze about 20 fresh lemons for it, so if you want the recipe for it keep that in mind. Of course I have a juicer, if I can find it.
Julio, my future grand-son-in-law asked for pineapple salsa. Since I am not serving swordfish today, (they both wanted hamburgs, how boring, ) I plan on serving corn chips with it.
I must get to work. Have a great weekend.
