Rick & Bubba -Rick & Bubba

I went with my friend Duchess to Barnes & Noble in Brentwood to a book signing by none other than RICK AND BUBBA!! It was so much fun to be standing in line with other Rick & Bubba Fanatics. The guys were so gracious and friendly. We also got a big hug from Don Juan. He is a real cutie. I will post our pictures as soon as Duchess sends them to me.

Cool summer salad

I am making this salad on Saturday to serve at a bridal shower that I am giving for Sarah Shrum. She is my "graduated from high school with my son" friend who is getting married to another DA classmate. This recipe is from Publix.

5 oz spring mix salad blend
1 cup fresh blueberries-rinsed
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
3 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
1 cup fresh strawberries-rinsed
1/4 cup raspberry vinaigrette

Place salad blend, blueberries, nuts and blue cheese in salad bowl. Cut strawberries into bite-sized pieces and add to salad. Toss with dressing just prior to serving.
