No Comments on Boudin Bakery In San Francisco, California

Boudin Bakery has been in business since 1849. They are known for their famous Sour Dough bread. Mrs. Louise Boudin was quite the businesswoman and made the company what it is today. Sourdough bread is made in the shapes of teddy bears, turtles, alligators, and more. They sell light and dark bread, croissants, and much more. The Sour Dough bread has only four ingredients: mother dough, flour, salt, and water. The sourdough bread is made with a mother dough with Lactobacillus sanfrancisco bacteria in motion, giving it a uniquely sourdough taste that can only be produced in San Francisco.

My friend and I ate several times at Boudin Bakery, along Fishermans Wharf in San Francisco. I ordered the Turkey and Avocado sandwich on a croissant and Clam Chowder soup in a sourdough bread bowl. My friend had the same, except she had tomato basil soup. Our food was excellent and came to our table quickly. Later, I ordered some hot chocolate which was perfect with lots of chocolate.

The bakery is constantly very busy with people buying various pieces of bread and ordering food. I enjoyed the museum upstairs that tells about the history of Boudin over the years. I enjoyed watching their big commercial ovens and the operation of making the various pieces of bread. The bread only takes five to twenty minutes to bake, depending on the size of the loaf of bread they are baking.

Boudin Bakery has something for everyone. They have a vast menu and many gift items available. I purchased a can of clam chowder soup and drank chocolate to take home and enjoy in the long winter months. I ate an Almond Croissant that was filled with almond paste, and it was outstanding in taste and flavor. I would highly recommend going to Boudin Bakery in San Francisco, California.

Home Memories

Leviticus 27: 14

And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the Lord, the priest shall estimate it, whether good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.

Proverbs 24 : 3 – 4

Through wisdom is a house built, and by understanding, it is established,

And the chambers shall be filled with all precious and pleasant riches by knowledge.

The old saying says home is where the heart is. My home sanctify’s me as I love every nook and cranny in my house. I have so many pleasant memories in my place. My Grandparents built the place I have lived in almost my entire life. I have lived on my building site my whole life. I love walking around the yard, gardening, lawn mowing, and much more. I used to follow my Grandfather around the farm, and later on, I followed my Father around the farm and learned how to repair many items by observing my Father at work.

I have fond memories of eating breakfast and having coffee with my Grandparents. My Grandfather kept wintergreen mints in the cupboard and always gave me one to eat when I visited. I had a toy box at my grandparents’ house and still have the plastic doll I used to play with. I would generally eat Cheerios for breakfast at Grandpa and Grandma’s house.

I remember the Christmas dinners that we used to have and all of the wonderful family gatherings that we used to have at our home. A home is a place of a happy, wonderful life and long-lasting memories. A house has laughter, love, joy, peace, and hope from all the people who have enriched your life by coming into your home and sharing their life with you.

Home is where you have family time and talk about the day’s activities at the end of the day. You have love and concern for each other’s needs. You make each other smile in a happy home, and all that enter your home are glad they came. Peace and happiness may fill your home for all of your days.

The Story of My Cat Hoover

No Comments on The Story of My Cat Hoover

Hoover was one of my first cat’s kittens. Hoover was named after our Hoover vacuum cleaner. As a child, I did not get very original when I called my cats alone. Hoover was very gentle, and he would let a young child pick him up and hold him without even giving me one scratch. I would carry Hoover around with his legs drooping down, but he would purr away contentedly.

Hoover would wait for me to come out of the house every morning to hold and fuss over him. He would stay while I waited for the school bus to take me to school in the morning. Hoover got a lot of table scraps to eat, dry cat food, and freshwater to drink daily.

Hoover had his Mother, Flossie, and siblings to keep him company. I had his siblings, Blacknose Sprite, and an adopted cat Fresca. Sprite and Fresca were named after the soda pop that I drank.

Hoover was a red tabby tuxedo cat. He would play with leaves and his Mother’s tail as a tiny kitten. Once in a while, he and his sisters would play chase and wrestle around together. He was a good hunter like his Mother and would bring dead gophers and mice up to the house so we could get a good look at his catch of the day. His sisters were very successful huntresses.

Hoover and the other cats would follow my Father around the farm, and luckily, they all knew enough to stay away from the farm machinery. They loved to sleep in the hay mow of the old barn we used to have. They were friendly and cozy in the hay and got the other animals’ warmth in the barn. They drank milk along with their regular cat food in the winter months. They always had heated water to drink in the winter from a heated water tank for the farm animals.

Maggie and her sister ate the can of turkey and liver from Hills Science Diet the minute I put it in their dish. Maggie ate and licked up every morsel of her turkey and liver entree. Maggie’s sister kept watching Maggie to make sure she would not eat up her portion of the turkey and liver entree.

My cat next door found Hills Science Diet very tasty. Russ, Hilford, and Faith were licking their faces clean after eating their Hills Science Diet Variety Pack From Chewy.Com. Mr. Gray and Nicole had been eating some catnip but stopped eating it and indulged in the Hills Savory Chicken entree, canned cat food.

Hills Science Diet is made with meat, vitamins, and minerals for your cat’s daily needs. Feed 1.3 cans for a ten-pound cat. A cat that eats healthy food is generally a good fit has a nice shiny coat and is in peak condition.

My outdoor cats loved the Savory Turkey dinner from the Hills Science diet. Maggie’s sister growled at Maggie the whole time she ate her turkey entree. The turkey meal disappeared in a nanosecond.

Russ, Mr. Gray, and Hilford ate away at their turkey entree. Addi, Faith, and Sherlock were in another group eating away and seemed to savor every little morsel of their turkey entree. Peter showed up when I shut the door to the house, and he ate a large portion of the savory turkey entree. Nicole finally showed up, found her bit quickly, and swallowed it quickly.

My cats enjoyed the different meat combinations in the Hills Science Diet Variety Pack Canned Cat Food From Chewy.Com. My cats put their paws up in the air for the Hills Science Diet Variety Pack for the perfect review award.

I was provided Farm -to-table food for my evening meal at the FieldHouse Restaurant Located In Clear Lake, Iowa, to facilitate my review. All thoughts are 100 % honest and my own. Unfortunately, they have gone out of business and are closed.

I was impressed with the inside of the FieldHouse Restaurant. The restaurant is nicely appointed and has an inviting feel about it. It is fun to look over at the park while you eat. I loved how quiet, restful, and relaxing it was in the FieldHouse Restaurant. It was easy to visit with your friends and unwind after a stressful day because it is nice and quiet.

I love that the food is Farm -to-table at the FieldHouse restaurant in Clear Lake, Iowa. Our waitress came to our table with water and offered us other beverages to choose from. Our waitress returned to our table with many different and outstanding dishes for us to try.

I first tried the Brussels Sprouts salad with dried cranberries, chopped pecans, Gorgonzola pear & crispy shallots. I served with a Molasses Balsamic Vinaigrette. I loved the Brussels Sprouts salad, seasoned to perfection, and I ate several servings.

The Seared Beef Tenderloin with Herbed garlic butter served with Brussel sprouts, Bacon, Parmesan, and onions was so lovely and tender that it fell off my fork and melted in my mouth. The Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection.

My Lamb Sirloin Chop with Chimichurri Sauce, Garlic, Green Onion Mashed Potatoes was excellent and one of the best lamb chops I have ever eaten. The lamb chops seasoning was spot on and was easy to cut away from the bone. My mashed potatoes were perfect, with just the right consistency.

I loved the Homemade Tuna Cakes with Lemon Aioli and Micro Radish Citrus Salad. The tuna cakes had a nice balance of flavors and tasted excellent.

The Fieldhouse Beef Burger, Carmelized Onions, ten years Aged White Cheddar, Red Romaine, Tomato, House Pickles & Aioli On Homemade Brioche With Hand – Cut Potato Wedges was the best burger that I have ever eaten in my lifetime. The flavor of the beef burger was out of this World and outstanding. The homemade potato wedges were not greasy, and I loved the house-made ketchup I put on them. I ate a lot of their fabulous potato wedges.

I ate the Fieldhouse Roll- Shaved Beef, Seasonal Vegetables, Avocado, Cucumber, and Jalapeno topped with Korean Sauce, Spicy mayo, and Honey mayo: scallions, & toasted Sesame Seeds. My Sushi roll was excellent, you can order from mild to hot spice.

I would give the FieldHouse Restaurant in Clear Lake, Iowa, five stars out of five stars. The FieldHouse Restaurant is a Farm- to – table restaurant representing fine dining at its best.

Life Is About Serving People And Lifting Them Up

No Comments on Life Is About Serving People And Lifting Them Up

Visit people often and help them and put a smile on their faces. Hold doors open for people and lavish them with a firm handshake. Giving people a gift they were not expecting is so rewarding.

Do something special for your friends. Call up your friend and invite them on the spur of the moment to go for a drive or out to eat. You will make your friend happy, and you will be satisfied, also. Spend quality time with your friends, and don’t miss any time together.

I love visiting with people in the rest home or assisted living. The people I see enrich my soul with beautiful lessons on what life is all about. We can learn a lot from our elders and other people we visit; we all have our ups and downs in life. How we handle them makes all the difference in the World and how our life turns out.

Do not dwell or live in the past; you can not change its outcome. Make new and fond memories in others’ lives and your own. Look at things in perspective and never lose your focus on what is truly important in life. We should serve God, the community, family, friends, and strangers. A friend in need is a friend indeed, as the old saying goes.

An illness in my life was a blessing in disguise. It has made me a more outgoing and caring person. I have become a lay minister in my church. I see things differently than I used to. I enjoy visiting with people and having them tell me their life stories. There is always someone in worse shape than you, no matter your illness or situation.

My goal is to help brighten or enrich people’s lives and put a smile on someone’s face every day. I wanted to be kind, compassionate, caring,g and an excellent listener, learn something new daily, and share my knowledge with others.

God bless you every day, and never forget that you can become a better and more outstanding you that will make God and your family proud of the person you are today.

I had read the reviews on The Franciscan Crab Restaurant on Facebook and Yelp, which had outstanding reviews. My friend and I were walking along Fishermans Wharf and decided we would have our evening meal there. We sat by a window and had an outstanding view of the bay. We saw tour boats and boats of all different sizes and a lot of seabirds.

Our waiter came and took our order. Our waiter was dressed formally and came to our table with a loaf of fresh bread and butter. We ordered crab cakes seasoned to perfection and just melted in our mouths. We collected water to drink and had endless nice ice water.

I liked the layout of the restaurant and how it was decorated. The restaurant was lovely and peaceful so you could visit easily and hear every word the other person said at your table. The Franciscan Crab Restaurant had binoculars at your table to get a closer look at the different sea birds, boats, and occasionally a sea lion or a dolphin.

We ate at The Franciscan Crab Restaurant again for another evening meal. We both ordered the crab salad, and it was perfect. Our salad had lots of crab meat, black olives, hard-boiled egg, cucumber slices, spinach leaves, lettuce, and a special salad dressing with cocktail sauce. I loved the crab salad and the excellent salad dressing that came with it.

The Franciscan Crab Restaurant has excellent food and surroundings. They have an extensive menu and fantastic-looking dessert items. I would give their food and the restaurant and staff five stars out of five stars—a top-notch restaurant to eat at a long Fishermans Wharf.

In Memory Of My Cat Bella

No Comments on In Memory Of My Cat Bella

Bella was given to me by a friend. Bella was a nice and friendly cat. She did not want to be patted on the head. She liked to have her back rubbed. Snowflake and Bella were the best of friends, and now they are together again in heaven,

Bella liked sleeping on a shelf with boxes with nice clean fluffy towels for her to sleep on. She would sleep in a heated cat bed next to Snowflake in winter. When Snowflake died, she slept by herself. Bella always greeted me in the morning with a warm and welcoming meow.

Bella lost three pounds suddenly. I took her to my vet, who ran a blood test that returned positive for liver cancer. I fed her tuna canned in water and got her weight up to 8.4 lbs. She had trouble swallowing and could not eat dry cat food any longer. I had Bella put to sleep at my vet’s office because I did not want her to suffer and get worse again suddenly. Bella was 11 years and ten months of age.

Bella loved cat snacks and treats and ate away at them. In her later years, she could not eat any snacks or treats, but she could eat a tablespoon of tuna in the morning and at night.

My cat Russ was always her knight in shining armor. If any younger cat picked on Bella, he would put them in their place. It seemed like Russ told them to respect their elders and toe the line.

Bella was a gray-striped cat with orange coloring throughout her hair. I am honored to have shared my life with Bella’s life. I will never forget her dearly and have a special place for her. My vet gave a memorial to Bella to help cure cats with similar diseases or ailments. God bless the beast and the children.

No Comments on What Grade Would You Give Yourself In Life ?

Have you done everything or accomplished everything you had to do or wanted to get done? Have you worked at your goals and left the world in a better place regarding what you have done with your life? We all have thoughts to ponder as we try to figure out the correct path to follow in our life. With God’ss help and love, we can accomplish most of our goals.

Are you working on the mission that God has set for you? Let God be your compass and your guide on your path in life. Be kind, caring, compassionate, loving, and very caring with other people. Always put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Never judge someone as you have no idea what they have gone through in their lifetime.

Live day to its full potential, and do not waste any days because we all have finite days on earth and a limited time frame to accomplish our purpose or mission on earth. Enjoy, savor, cherish, and spend quality time with family and friends. Do not make life more complicated than it has to be, and don’t sweat the small stuff. There will be hiccups in the whole scheme of life, but don’t let them stop you from reaching your finish line.

How do we begin to grade ourselves in life? Have we done good things, been kind and caring, and helped spread God’s good works? If you can answer yes, you are heading toward a high grade in life.

Life is wonderless and glorious and a constant journey to learning and understanding, and bettering ourselves and each other daily. Follow the path God has set for you, and you will be filled with the grace of God.
