PIcked This Up From My Local Library- and a little garden video

I picked up this book from my local public library and when I turned it over and saw the words PTA moms and murder; I said to myself. I'm in! 

We were heading out of town for a wedding, so it was the perfect time to have a physical book and one that was full of marital strife and family dramas, as well as rich people mess.

I've got to say, I do enjoy rich people mess in a vacation read. The story is pretty formulaic, and you may very well guess some of what happens and why. Overall it's like popcorn, it's easy way to fufill your craving for something crunchy but not to heavy.

4 Stars for Regrets Only,  a good read to take with you on vacation or to the beach, or to read when waiting at doctor or dentist appointments. 

 Over the weekend I went on a Garden Walk in my area. It was sunny and pretty humid but it was a lovely day and all the gardens were very peaceful.  Here are a couple pictures:

What do you think about Christmas in July? Do you partake via reading a holiday themed book or by turning on the Hallmark channel?  I am more of a start buying Halloween/Autumn stuff by July 25th, but I am not opposed to reading a Christmas book in the summer. At the moment I have a few books I'm in the midst of reading soI don't think I'm going to be fitting in a Christmas book. 

Before I share the books I'll be talking about this week. Here is a recipe I recently made that was delicious--this recipe is gluten free if you use tamari sauce. If you want to add protein you could add chicken, pork, seafood, or tofu. 

1. Soak 7 oz of rice noodles in cold water for 10 min. 2. You put 2 tbsp of Toasted Sesame Oil in a pan and add a chopped shallot, a couple of chopped scallions, 2 zucchini that have been sliced with a vegetable peeler, 2 carrots that have also been sliced with a vegetable peeler, add a couple of tbsp of soy or tarmari sauce,  pinch of salt and pepper, and 1 cup of water cook until water is gone and noodles are tender--about 10 minutes. I added Onion Onion seasoning. 

YUM!!!

And now to the books:
