Home is where the heart is…

If home truly where the heart is, then the food blogging community is definitely part of my home. I give thanks to many of you who have emailed me or left me new home well wishes here on my blog. They are very much appreciated. Above there is my new home(with  no window treatments 🙂 ).
If I could of course, I would have you over for a housewarming party, pot luck style. Since that can’t be happening, I’d like to have a virtual one. So if you would like to come you simply need to bring a dish.

*make a dish and post the recipe on your blog(appetizers, main dishes, sides, desserts, even drinks!…your choice). If you don’t have a blog and would still like to participate you can email me a recipe and a picture(if you have one)
*tell in the write up why you are “bringing” that dish
*give your name, name of your blog(and your URL) and the name of the dish(and a link to the dish)

I will host my Housewarming Party on Saturday, December 8th. The deadline to “bring” your dish is Thursday, December 6th,  midnight Pacific Standard Time.  If you would like to “come” to the party please email your dish to luvbriere at gmail dot com. Hope to “see” you there!

  23. WOW! A cyberparty!!! Thank you for the invite! I would love to attend. Will have to email you a recipe as I don’t have a blog. What a gorgeous home Peabody. I can just see it now all dressed up for the party……warm and cozy with the fuzzy outlines of hundreds of virtual folk talking and laughing inside, a big welcoming wreath on the door, twinkling fairy lights in the windows, across the roof, in the bare branches of the trees in the garden, snow brushed from the stairs and banked up against the walls of the house, many virtual footprints in the snow on the pathway as people arrive for the housewarming party……oh dear! Please tell me it does snow where you live!! Bet you can tell I live in Africa and am longing for a white Christmas 🙂

  29. What a beautiful home and a perfect idea to have a virtual housewarming party.
    As far as window treatments, “Sally Homemaker” says: on windows that probably need to be covered (like bathrooms) a tension rod, curtain rings that clip on, and pretty table napkins or dishcloths can make instant cafe’ curtains. Taget usually has what is needed. For the rest, take your time to purchase what you really like…they often are still in use a decade later.

  31. Congratulations on your new home. 🙂 I love the yard in front.

    I had a question for you about your baking. When you half or quarter recipes, do you exactly half/quarter them or do you have to adjust things a bit? I don’t have a lot of experience with halving/quartering baking recipes and I’m scared that things might mess up. Thanks. 🙂

  37. What a lovely house! As far as the window treatments are concerned, I got really beautiful one from Martha Stewart..I figured if somebody can help, that’s got the be her!!!
    I hope you don’t mind but I told the folks of the DB blog about the party…I am sure it will be smashing success!

  43. What a cute house! And window treatments are overrated. I prefer not to have them, except we live in town and the neighbors are too close not to. 😉
    Congrats!

  47. Beautiful house Peabody. Will think of something to bring to your housewarming. Love the whole potluck concept which we don’t really go in for in England. Hope you have many happy years in your new home!

  48. What a beautiful Home. I’ve always loved those pastel coloured slats on the front of American houses, they’re so rare in the UK.

    Best wishes to you, Peabody.

  1. […] I was just sooo not in the mood to take pictures the other day. The lighting was horrible no matter where I was, as the sky was super Seattle gray. I wasn’t actually even going to put these up, but the truth of the matter is that they are far to tasty for me not to share the recipe with you. As many of you know, I often bake for referees on nights that I score keep on. Makes them happy to work with and IF they happened to end up refereeing my game, then perhaps they will look the other way when I elbow some guy. I kid…sort of. So my poor refs have pretty much been neglected lately. What I have been making in the kitchen were not all that portable friendly and they had been missing out. One of my “regulars” let me know it too and let me know that he would enjoy something with gingerbread the next time he saw me….then he told me when the next time he would see me would be. So off I went find something with gingerbread. I wanted something simple for as much as I would like to be done getting the house together, there always seems to be something. Tomorrow I am off for a rake and a recycling trash can for our pop cans. These bars I found on the McCormick spices website. Their recipe called for using their spices, but I was a rebel and did not. A couple things about the bars: 1. I will add a little more ginger next time for a tad more kick, though the ref thought they had enough kick. 2. When I made the cream cheese mixture I did it in the bowl with the gingerbread batter, without cleaning it, so that the gingerbread flavor would come through a little in the frosting…I’m glad I did. These are quick and easy and most definitely keeps. P.S. Don’t forget I am hosting a virtual Housewarming Party on Saturday, December 8th. For more information about it go here. […]

  2. […] And since I think no one in their right mind would resist to a slice of this pizza (even though the night pictures don´t show it in all its glory), I´m gonna be taking this dish to Peabody´s housewarming party, since I´m sure it´s going to be full of sugar-ladden treats, and there needs to be something savory to start with. If this doesn´t make a good house-warming gift, Peabody, I don´t know what will! (Recipe after the jump) […]
