This is the url for the folks who took part in Winosandfoodies sponsored A Taste of Yellow. It's fun to look through all the different photos, recipes and stories that inspired folks to take part in the project for LiveSTRONG 2010.
I didn't do much over the weekend in the way of leisure activities (except lay in bed and read) away from home though with my son's help, we attempted to batten down the hatches before winter - didn't know I lived on ship did you? The weather has been good, warm today with a glorious blue sky. And no one with which I'm aware is drunk (at least nearby) so today is a day of gratitude. It's also Hannah's mom's birthday. Happy birthday, old woman! She phoned and I sang her the happy birthday song. Then I told her she was old. Then she said "I know, doesn't it make *you* feel old?" And I said, "No, it makes me feel like YOU are old!" Tonight we will go out to dinner to celebrate. I'm excited. I can buy a meal that will last the entire week.
The photos today were taken by Jesse while he was in Greece this summer. He was there for 80 days working on an architect assignment. Jesse is my x's son. I've known him since he was 13 and he's now in his 2nd year at Boston. We stay in contact by phone, email and facebook. I'm happy for the relationship. These two photos he took are my favorites.Since it's fall season I've been thinking a lot about who first started putting pumpkin in coffee? Why didn't they try zucchini first or did they? I'm going to try to find the connection. This really has me puzzled. Not that this has anything to do with anything.

Laying in bed and reading all weekend sounds glorious to me. Love the top photo with the yellow door.
Though she may be older than she's ever been, I believe you are younger than you ever were in many ways! Best!
I'm still intrigued by your idea of broccoli coffee - ooh, fiber AND caffeine!
You're right, who thought of pumpkin as a flavoring for coffee? It works by golly but doesn't seem to be an obvious pairing.
Those are wonderful photos -- esp. the yellow door & orange=red flowers.
Pumpkin in coffee? Really? Geez, that doesn't really sound like a great combo to me. Nor does zucchini in coffee. Yech.
Of course, I'm more of an herbal tea drinker! Vee at http://veegettinghealthy.blogspot.com
I wouldn't dream of adulterating my coffee with pumpkin.... or anything else, for that matter.
Jesse took some lovely photos! Thanks for sharing them with us.
Never heard of pumpkin coffee; but I do know that if you grow pumpkin and zucchini near me, you end with with large weird orange zucchini; or are they cylindrical pumpkins?
