Foodie Styling – I’ve always admired pendants and rings
made from vintage silverware. Of course a fork necklace is perfect for a foodie
like me. A birthday party at Neches River Wheelhouse connected me Rochelle
Perrio Jeane, owner of Strands Hairspa and Boutique in Port Neches and her
husband, Mike Jeane. Turns out he fashions beautiful pendants and rings from
flatware. Check them out at the salon on Nall Street. I’m looking through my
collection of spoons, cocktail forks and
butter knives to see if the “just right” piece can be transformed into a very
local conversation piece. Imagine how family would react to pieces designed
from grandma’s silver set.
Something Delicious – Sometimes I call my husband to the breakfast table by asking “Are you
ready for something delicious?” The
other day he answered me that this invitation means I put my heart into
something good.
Or, it could mean some trick with hidden
cottage cheese.
After “The Young and the Restless,” cottage
cheese and sliced weenies were in the lunch rotation of my youth. Mom and
grandma liked it. Me, not so much. But a kid didn’t get a vote.
I asked my computer what was the “cottage”
in cottage cheese, and it said the name came from American colonists living in
small cottages making this cheese using milk left over from butter churning.
So, dine on some history.
