Time Sure flies! We celebrated our 20th Wedding Anniversary today. We went down to the old stomping grounds for dinner at North 44, it was fabulous. It was the same type of weather although we did have a sunny day, it was a hot one like today. I remember how heavy that bouquet was, but it was gorgeous.

I just finished a great book. I could not put it down once I was into it, I even stayed up until 2am finishing it. The main characters are very engaging and the story takes place over three different time periods. If you want a good summer read, pick up the forgotten garden.

The world's best turkey burgers! Someone wanted this recipe so I am posting it here:

3 green onions sliced
2 stalks celery finely chopped
1 1/2 green apples, finely chopped
splash of canola oil
2lbs ground turkey
ground pepper
1 tsp chiptole tabasco sauce
1/2 lemon juiced, 1tsp grated zest
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tbsp chutney (I use mango)



Saute the onion, celery and apple using the canola oil just until tender. Let cool. Mix the turkey with all the remaining ingredients and then add the apple mixture.




Form into burgers. Refridgerate for at least two hours.

Barbeque on a medium heat for about 7 minutes a side or until meat is cooked through.
Enjoy! These taste so good we have them more than regular burgers. You can make them up ahead of time and just throw them on the grill. Serve them with a bun and some chutney.

I recently made up three different wristlets for a special order. It is for a wedding and the bride is wearing a mauve dress with silver accessories. I found a beautiful silvery mauve duponi silk that I used. I made up three for her to choose from. I am not sure as of yet which one she picked. The wedding is on Friday evening. Congratulations to them both.

Don't forget I do custom orders.
