Preparations for The DNC has made even attempting to navigate into Uptown Charlotte beyond nuts, but despite the announcements that the homeless were being shipped off somewhere else entirely, we managed to find some stragglers that were a welcome sight after driving around for nearly an hour with no luck.
One day, I dream that “Pack Away Hunger” will become a wide spread initiative, in every city and town.
My friends beautiful brood that gifted me these:
To make these:
They also have Honey which I’m super excited about!!
It’s generally been cooler lately between the torrential rain storms and 75-80 degree weather but of course, yesterday when I spent the greater part of the day on foot outside, it was 100 degrees, lol. I’m clinging to the last few days of Summer and needed something light and refreshing to cool off with and made Lettuce Wraps.
I collected what looked good together and tipped this and that into a pan to caramelize with Chicken, Peppers and Onions. I’m sorry to say I didn’t measure anything out but this is what went into it^^
Happy Labor Day, y’all!
XOXO
Your Squishy Monster ^.^
What a lovely Labor day! I’d like to taste your friends’ honey!
I can’t wait—brimming with excitement!!
I can’t imagine living in the same city as one of the conventions…must be crazy!
I kind of want lettuce wraps now…they sound SO refreshing!
Needless to say–CRAZY! but I do have to admit, it’s a bit exciting!!!
I would love to keep chickens – they are just so beautiful. Unfortunately, we do get foxes and other native animals in our suburb so we won’t be able to keep hens
HOA won’t even let me
making me hungry as always hahah

How lovely to receive those freshly laid eggs. And I love your cupcakes. The frosting is gorgeous. And what a treat to receive honey from a friend’s bees – I would love to have a friend with a bee hive! xx
I’m super stoked—I can’t wait to make more cupcakes from them!!
There is a growing trend in Toronto to keep chickens for the eggs. What great looking cupcakes and home grown honey? What a luxury.
I was telling my friend, “with all these eggs, I feel RICH, RICH, I say!” LOL
Hunger is an increasing problem all over Angie.More must and hopefully be done to help people.Wonderful what you are doing.
Cute chickens. Beautiful eggs!
Beautiful flowers Angie!
All the food looks delicious! Have a great day! Stay strong! God bless you!
xoxoxo.

It’s unfortunate but true that some people don’t even have access to clean drinking water. I’m positive for a change.
I love that you were able to use fresh eggs for your cupcakes!
Though, it spoiled me a bit
I hope you had a great weekend. I had a good time at a friend’s house and a huge bbq. I’d like to see the Pack Away Hunger all over too. I have chicken in the crockpot right now for chicken tacos tonight
Sounds like yummy fun! That sounds like some more yum comin’ up, Suzie!!
Happy Holiday!
those chicken are crazy!
Happy Holiday to my favorite Alien!
Those wrap look yummy. Do you eat them by hand or on a plate?
By the way, those eggs look great, each one is so different, not like those from an ‘egg factory’.
I’m elated…some are even pastel colored—I like to eat them with my hands =D
What a beautiful Labour of love
Thank you, Tandy!
