Recipe: Homemade Chicken And DumplingsI love my late grandmothers Chicken and Dumpling recipe and now you are in for a treat because I am going to share it
Chicken and Dumplings
Dumplings
1 1/4 cups Flour
3 tsp butter
1/4 tsp salt and pepper
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
Broth
1 can cream of chicken(and one of water to dilute)
1 can chicken broth
Chicken
4 chicken cutlets
(or if you prefer to do it the old fashoned way, cook a full chicken in your crock pot until done then debone the meat. It will require that your recipe above be doubled)
Directions
While heating the broth mixture to boiling, (in a large pot) cook separately 4 cutlets of chicken after cutting them into bite sized pieces. Once they are completely cooked add them to the Broth. Bring broth to a boil stirring often.
While waiting for the broth to boil. Combine dumpling ingredients and kneed them together, to create the dough, then roll it out on a floured cutting mat(or
A Walk in The WoodsA wind in the woods passes brief,
like an unpredictable invisible thief,
tangible... so very sweet.
A wing, black perhaps dark-blue stirs the air,
the hood over my hair,
falls off... slithers free.
Soft, slow, fresh, low - the four breezes swing,
swirl and sing,
in this butterfly balance… I dance.
I loose thoughts with each step, things,
gradually almost all thoughts, almost all things,
portraits of people, mirrors of the many in me… eventually memories of me.
Between pale pebbles, shells, dark and white sands,
inconsistent are my feet and hands,
where the evergreen… bends.
The sun is a kite, high on the sky, diamond radiant,
melts the last dew residues, warms the distant,
long shadow of me… my ghost companion.
Dances still, regardless of my tiredness, unsustainable and golden,
at the edge stands the dolmen,
other path… begins and ends.

Silences and SoundsI have listened
your silences
each one
an alignment
of harp sounds
from and to which
I have built
an entire alphabet
of secret words,
a language made
for you to hear
the voice of my love
Original: * Silêncios e Sons *
Ouvi
todos os teus silêncios
cada um
um alinhamento
de sons de harpa
a partir de e para os quais
Construí
um alfabeto inteiro
de palavras secretas
uma linguagem feita
para que ouças
a voz do meu amor

The Moon...The Moon
You are the one who is watching over my night
So, in my loneliness - I never feel alone...
You are the one who is comforting me with a tender light,
Wherever I might be - with You am “home”,
Almost like You would hold me tight...
Your shape of golden-silver sprinkling tone,
Sometimes half, sometimes completely bright -
With You, in my loneliness - I don’t feel alone...

My birthday gift to my sweet and one of my dearest friends, Kay :iconKay-March: Feliz aniversário !
I hope You like it ,Dearly, like You love so much the Moon...
Those thoughts floated out this morning,
Thinking ,what I could possibly offer You as a little bit special,(as You are special to me)-
so a little poem with a photography of a recent morning moon ,just in front my house,
I really hope it will bring You some joy and a smile,
My first "poem"ever, I put up here on DA...
Well,there must always be so
*Intangible*
Moonlight does delight
Dusting of intangible stars
Heaven's canopy
Thoughts soar across firmament
Wonder captured very soul.
All souls have a star
Optimistic midnight search
Is our place assured?
We reach into the unknown
Governed by eternal hope.

*Moonlight Moment*No interruption
Surrounded, soft silence
Perceptive, in tune.
Elusive words form
Transient moonlight poetry
Fleeting harmony.

Thank-you!
I just wanted to say thank-you to the anonymous person who gifted me with a 1 month core membership! Thank-you so much to whoever you are. I'm sure I will be on dA a lot more now that the libraries have opened up and now I can have unlimited time on the computer (as long as no one is waiting to use it)...I don't know much about the new features of core membership though, so I am open to advice on how to use it... But thanks again.
My Butterfly Daughter...
I have another butterfly friend!! On September 9th, I found a Monarch caterpillar in the pollinator garden back of my building , I brought her home with the plan to watch her metamorphosis and then release her back into the garden so she can start on her long journey... she turned into her chrysalis 3 days later...10 days later when her chrysalis started to hatch she had an accident and fell from her chrysalis! I put my finger down and she immediately grabbed hold and I took her to her empty chrysalis and she climbed onto it...but she never pumped her wings to get them in shape...so her wings dried miss-shaped and she can't fly...I was so depressed and cried (I so wanted to release her so she fly with her friends) and I ate almost a pound of dark chocolate almonds. But since then we've bonded and I call her my flightless butterfly daughter, she's my best friend just like Sweetie was (in 2019)...I named her Beloved Beauty and yesterday was her 2 week birthday! I sang Happy Birthday to
I know, it's been a while...
Hello everyone, I know it's been quite a while since anyone has heard from me, but I just wanted you to know that I'm still alive and I hope everyone else out there is still alive and surviving living in this world with the new plague. I thought I should explain a bit... I think most people that I talked to regularly before the Plague know that I don't have my own computer at home and I always go to the library to use the public computer ( which I have always liked doing and still do-internet is free at the library). But with the continuous lockdowns in Ontario (we've had three, where everything was shut down besides essential services). The libraries were shut down... they are open again and have been for a while-but people only get to use the computer for 1 hour per day.Since the start of this Plague in 2020, people only are allowed to use the computers for 1 hour per day and after looking after some things on Amazon (been buying lots of books, dvds, cds this year), and looking at
Memorial for Ginger...
My heart is broken and I know it will never be whole again...it is too upsetting and distressing to say what happened, but an accident happened and Ginger (my very first crested gecko from 2004) passed over...and I wanted to die with her...and I don't know how I can still be alive without her. She has always been such a big part of me-and she always will be. She is my breath and heartbeat...my child, my angel, I feel like half of my heart is missing, and I pray to her every morning and night for her to still be with me...
Here are Ginger's photos:
