Once Upon a Time…35 Years Ago…We Met

Nov 2014 – celebrating the anniversary of the night we met!

It was Veterans Day eve and I had UAB Chamber Choir rehearsal that night. I remember all my friends from work were heading out to a “happy hour” and I was a little disappointed that I wasn’t going with them. But the Chamber Choir was getting ready for a performance and I knew I couldn’t miss rehearsal so…

A friend of mine said she would go later if I felt like it. So after rehearsal, I called her and we both got ready and headed to the happy hour. It was close to 10 p.m. and I thought there wouldn’t be anyone there. Turns out Mr. Right was there! And the party was just getting started!

Our big group danced and sang along with the band for the rest of the night. The band kept asking for requests and I kept asking them to play “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon to no avail. (I still do this when I’m out and I’ve yet to have anyone play it for me!) Eddie and I kept drifting toward one another when we were all dancing together and eventually we ended up dancing together. We had both been noticing each other at work and he told me later he’d had a secret crush on me when he’d see me at the office. I confessed the same to him.

This was our 30th “first” – 2011 and we were headed to Flemings that year for dinner.

Veterans Day eve became our “first” anniversary – the anniversary of the night we met and we’ve been celebrating it every year since. When the kids were little we’d have dinner at home and play up about the night we met. As they got older, we started going out to celebrate and reminisce about meeting and when we dated. It’s fun to keep those stories alive and even more interesting when new details emerge!

The entire staff at Firebirds signed our card!

Our Firebirds server surprised us with this awesome dessert too!

Two years ago we went to Firebirds for dinner. I don’t know if it was the way we were talking or what, but the server asked if we were celebrating something special. We said, “yes, the anniversary of the night we met 33 years ago.” She thought that was the coolest thing ever and by the end of the meal, she brought out a fabulous dessert on the house along with a card addressed “To the sweet couple!” When we opened it, the entire staff had signed the card!

Tonight we will continue the tradition of celebrating our “first” anniversary. If there is a band wherever we go I’ll yell out “Werewolves of London” as a song request. Meanwhile, I’m so thankful that I decided to go to that “happy hour” on that night 35 years ago. I can’t imagine my life without this wonderful man in it!

Happy “first” anniversary, sweetheart!

Frida’s Lipstick and Nail Polish

1 Reply

I was browsing Instagram few months ago when I came across a photo of Frida Kahlo nail polish and lipstick. I did a double-take. When was a line of Frida Kahlo make-up introduced, how did I miss it and more importantly, where could I buy some??!!! I commented on the photo and got a response that these items were found at a CVS store in California. My heart sank a little. I mean, with the large Hispanic population in California I could see this being a popular line but why not in Birmingham too? I mean, we have a large Hispanic population too! Granted, not to the level of California but still… Artist Frida Kahlo is iconic with the Mexican population, especially around Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos celebrations. (I’m working on a post about Frida that I’ll post soon!)

I was only able to find two lipstick designs at the Homewood store…I may need to check around and see if there are others!

So I grabbed my laptop, typed in Frida Kahlo nail polish and lipstick and the search directed me right to CVS. There I found several color options for both the nail polish and lipsticks and better yet, iconic paintings of Frida and some of her artwork! Now I knew I HAD to have these!!! Ordinarily I would have just ordered them all online but that wasn’t an option. There was, however, an option to search for a store that carried these products. So I entered my zip code and found several stores right in my area. Now I was getting excited! I wrote them down – all within a 10 mile radius – and began my hunt. At the first store in Homewood, I walked all over looking high and low. The big name cosmetic brands all have their designated space in the store, so I knew I wouldn’t see these there so I figured it would be a small display off to the side or on the very top of the shelves. No luck there. Crossed that off the list and headed to the CVS in Cahaba Heights. Once again, no luck and by now I was losing faith that I would find them. I went to one more store in Homewood and again…nothing. Maybe the product hadn’t landed in the stores yet? Maybe I was a bit ahead of the shipment? I really don’t know the answer to those questions. I was disappointed but then decided I really didn’t “need” the products – I just “wanted” them – and so tucked it out of my mind…temporarily.

About three weeks ago I ducked into the Homewood CVS to pick up a few items when I noticed a small display of sample products in front of the cash registers. I’m such a sucker for sample sized products so clearly my attention was peaked and as I browsed, there they were…several colors of the Frida Kahlo nail polish and several of the lipsticks too! I couldn’t believe my luck! And the colors are so vibrant and beautiful too! I picked up two of each and on a return visit two weeks later, I picked up one more nail polish.

The color and photo on this nail polish bottle are striking!

Honestly, I think I love these more for the artwork than the actual polish and lipstick…they are just so darn cute! But I did go back onto the CVS website and this time found several great reviews on the products so maybe I was a little ahead of the shipment after all. One person said she would put the polish up against OPI which I thought was quite a compliment. The lipstick was also given high marks.

I’m hoping this isn’t a one-time offering and that I’ll be able to find these again next year, or better yet, online! I guess time will tell. Meanwhile, I’m loving the fact that they were created at all and happy I was able to find these here in Birmingham!

Love the names of these lipsticks!

Dia de los Muertos 2015…a look back…

A little girl admires the sugar skull masks at Dia de los Muertos Birmingham Festival 2015

Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos is tomorrow and Birmingham has one of the best celebrations around! This is a story I did for Alabama News Center last year about the festival. I look forward to sharing more photos and stories from DOD 2016 later this week! (By the way…I’m about to #bloglikecrazy for the month of November as a blogging challenge through See Jane Write! Should be fun!)

Birmingham’s annual Day of the Dead Festival, organized by the nonprofit Bare Hands Inc., was Monday, Nov. 2 in downtown. This was the 13th year for the festival that celebrates the lives of departed loved ones with lively celebrations, food, music, flowers, dancing and stories. The event has grown in popularity in recent years and continues to expand, drawing a diverse crowd.

Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, is a Mexican tradition that celebrates life rather than mourning death. The day coincides with the Catholic celebrations of All Saints’ Day (Nov. 1) and All Souls’ Day (Nov. 2). Many people describe this event as a colorful, vibrant and joyful commemoration rather than something somber. Altars feature photos, food or drink and hobbies of lost loved ones. Many Hispanic members of the community have embraced this event and participate as a remembrance of their native country.

Mural by artist Tim Kerr honored the Foot Soldiers of the Civil Rights era. Dia de los Muertos Birmingham 2015

This year, the festival invited visual artist Tim Kerr from Austin, Texas, to create the central memorial. He chose a mural to honor departed foot soldiers of the civil rights movement. It was featured next to the altar honoring photographer Spider Martin. This annual altar is created by his daughter, Tracy Martin – a founder of the festival – and always draws a crowd.

While the festival honors the traditional Mexican Day of the Dead, it incorporates other elements that make it unique. To many Alabamians, it brings to mind Decoration Day in the South. It also gives a New Orleans feel with the jazz funeral parade and procession that takes place around the event. “Dressing up” is a mainstay at the festival. A parade honoring celebrated Mexican artist Frida Kahlo marched along with the jazz band and paraders performed on the main stage.

A young girl has her face painted as sugar skull at the festival. This is one of the most popular things to do at Dia de los Muertos.

The children’s area provided families with sugar skull or “calavera” crafts, activities and a puppet show. Speaking of sugar skulls, having one’s face painted at the festival is popular and not limited to children. The line to have faces painted was long but the results were praised. The public altar area provided a place for attendees to bring photos and personal remembrances or “ofrendas” and honor a departed loved one. One young woman, born and raised in Alabama, commented that she didn’t know much about Day of the Dead until recently when a friend told her about it. She was looking for a way to pay tribute to her father, who recently passed away, and she was excited to take part in this year’s event.

“I want to remember the good times and not dwell on my dad’s death,” she said. “I think this is why events like this are so meaningful and powerful to people like me.” She held a picture of her father holding her as a baby, and brought his favorite fruit, an apple, to include in the public altar area. Through tears, she remarked how happy she was to be a part of the event.

One of the most heartfelt moments at the festival is the annual roll call. People submit names of deceased loved ones to be called out from the main stage. As names are called, family and friends in the audience hold up pictures of their loved ones.

Robert Hernandez, a festival volunteer, created an altar to honor his family as well as Selena, who was known as the Queen of Tejano music before her murder in 1995. His creation of a large white flower was a central feature of his altar highlighted with music from the late artist. Hernandez met someone attending the festival who knows Selena’s family. The friend took pictures and promised to pass them along to her family.

Altar by Robert Hernandez dedicated to Tejana Musician Selena was a popular stop at Dia de los Muertos Birmigham 2015.

Another volunteer noted that Day of the Dead in Birmingham is not a secret anymore. “More and more people are discovering the beauty of this holiday and want to be here,” she said. “It’s been a wonderful and uplifting night.”

Cheers to #bloglikecrazy Month!

Today is day 30 of something called “blog like crazy.” It was a challenge issued by Javacia Harris Bowser, founder of See Jane Write. The challenge was to write 30 original posts during the month of November. (You may remember one of my posts this month about meeting “The Janes” back in July 2014 when I was working up the courage to start this blog.)

Javacia issued this challenge last year too but I was just getting started with my blog. I launched on September 15th and I figured I had better get a few posts under my belt and figure this blogging thing out first! So I tucked this in the back of my head and decided that if the challenge was issued this year, I would definitely do it!

I’ve learned quite a bit about myself through this process. I’ve learned that I CAN blog every single day! At first I thought I would run out things to write about but because I have been doing this consistently this month, ideas started popping up quite frequently. To say I was excited and pleased would be an understatement. Javacia said writing is like exercise and she is so right. It takes practice to get better and I was definitely seeing this. I also thought that people would get tired of seeing my posts. Once the post is published, I would add it to my personal Facebook page, the See Jane Write and Alabama bloggers Facebook pages, my twitter account and finally, to my Instagram feed. I started feeling like I was over saturating social media with my posts, but what I found out is that more people were finding me and commenting or “liking” my posts.

My family was also enjoying my posts and this is very important to me since I am writing a lot about them and our family history. At first, I was a little worried that I would get some of the stories wrong or mixed up, but then I remembered – this is “my” voice and my recollection of things so once I internalized that, I would write the story.

Finally…since I always include my photographs in each of my posts, I realized just how any photographs I take in a month! Yikes!!! And this doesn’t include the old family photos that I have yet to scan, my dad’s slides and the photos I took before digital. Of course, I have no intention of reducing the number of photos I take… I really can’t help myself. When I look at a scene, I’m always composing the picture in my mind when I don’t have a camera handy. But I also take plenty with my iPhone too!

As I get ready to hit publish on this last post, I want to thank Javacia for the challenge and the encouragement. If you are a blogger and have never tried this, I encourage you to give it a shot. I’ve loved every minute of it!

Turkey Leftover Makeover

So…what do YOU do with your turkey leftovers? In the past we’ve just divided everything up with the family and had turkey sandwiches or re-heated the entire meal for the next day at lunch or dinner.

This year, our family gathering on Thanksgiving day was smaller and we had an awful lot of leftover food in the fridge! It’s hard to watch it go to waste on Saturday, especially when my son decided to go out to eat with friends and my youngest daughter was in Auburn for the Iron Bowl game!

Eddie and I were at home together finishing up some cleaning and decorating when the game began at 2:30 p.m. As we watched the game, I decided we needed to do a little something different with the turkey and not just heat it up – blah! Boring! I remembered a Pampered Chef ham wreath recipe I had used many years ago. I looked it up online but couldn’t find the exact recipe so I used what I found as a basis and just made the rest up as I went along.

Getting the ingredients to the turkey wreath ready…

I chopped up 2 cups of turkey, added 2 stalks of chopped celery, half a chopped onion, and grated parmesan cheese (I only had half a bag so used it all). After mixing it all together, I added mayo – enough to get things to stick together, and also mustard to give it a little color – and finally, salt and pepper. I would have preferred to use Dijon mustard but I haven’t had any in my fridge for ages. (Note to self…buy some Dijon mustard! My friend and chef, Nick Hartmann likes to add Dijon to steak!)

Filling is ready…now to get the Pillsbury crescent rolls positioned…

Next I took a can of Pillsbury crescent rolls (8 total) and arranged them in a star design – with the large part in the center on a cookie sheet. This is always a little tricky to me because they aren’t necessary the same size and when you see how it’s done in a photo…well, it’s perfect and that’s just ridiculous! I used to make the ham wreath every year at Christmas and it was NEVER perfect! After this was done – as perfectly as I could make it – I added the turkey filling by large spoonful. Finally, I wrapped the thin part over the mixture covering as much as possible.

Crescent rolls are arranged in a star design with the large end in the center. It never looks as perfect as it does in the pictures…

I cooked the wreath in a preheated over set at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I would have liked to have added cranberries to give the wreath a little hint of sweetness, but my husband doesn’t like cranberries that much. I had leftover cranberry sauce from Thursday so I just added it next to my portion once the wreath was ready to devour. So good with a buttery chardonnay!

Mission accomplished! Big thumbs up from the husby…leftover makeover was a success!

Arrange the ingredients by spoonful onto the crescent rolls.

Fold the skinny ends of the crescent rolls over the mixture…I had to get a little creative with some of the longer ends.

The finished product! After being baked at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

Finishing Touches Day

Ornaments from my mother in their original boxes – I like to decorate with these each year by simply placing them in crystal/glass bowls.

Yesterday I spent the entire day getting our house decorated for Christmas. At times it can be a little overwhelming with all the boxes and decorations all over the place. But I remind myself that this is my day to get it all together and the day is long! Plus, I have those sappy Hallmark movies to keep me going!

O the Saturday after all this decorating takes place, I work on the finishing touches. Things like bows on lamps, centerpieces on the tables and hand towels in the kitchen and powder room. Another favorite things to do is to pull out all the ornaments from my mom that she collected from before I was born and simply put them on display in crystal bowls.

This is one of my favorite of the old ornamets…beautiful detail!

Decorating doesn’t have to be complicated and this is one of the things that makes me the happiest each year when I add the finishing touches. First of all, I love that the ornaments are still in the original boxes. You can still see the prices on the boxes. I have three boxes of “Shiny Brite” ornaments…mind you, not all the ornaments are original to these boxes but they are definitely old ornaments that we used to use when I was little. (Did I just say “old” in reference to myself?! Yikes!) These boxes have a 49 cent price tag on them. And who remembers Woolworth’s store? The box I have for a few more ornaments has a $1.49 price tag on it. These are called “imported tree ornaments” – but I don’t see “where” they were imported. Regardless, it’s still nice to have this box. I love to put them all in a large crystal bowl and set them on my coffee table in my living room each year. I always tell my kids about the ornaments and of course, when they were little they used to roll their eyes a bit… Now, I think they are paying more attention to these things and why they are important to me and our family history.

Shiny Brite ornament box with the 49 cent price tag stamped on the box.

To preserve these memories a little bit more, I’ve put some of the smaller ornaments – chipped paint and all – in shadow boxes. One box has small ornaments that my mother used to use to decorate her hutch every year. She would put these small ornaments into glasses all over the hutch and I always loved how creative she got with the decorating. She was (and is) so good at “merchandising” as they say in the retail world. I also have a shadow box with small ornaments from my grandmother (Louise Stone) and my aunt Gail (Gail Stone Thomas). I love putting these boxes out each year. It’s a great way to display a part of your family holiday history. Finally, I have a small egg shaped vase in my corner curio with ornaments from my great-grandmother – Maude Weaver – on display. The paint on these ornaments is almost all chipped off but it adds quite a bit of antique character to the them…

Small ornaments that my mother (first shadow box) used on her hutch each year and ornaments that my aunt and grandmother (second box) used in their Christmas decorating.

Finally, the one shadow box that makes me a bit nostalgic is the one I created with ornaments that were about to be thrown out after my mother-in-law (Johnnie Odom) passed away. All her sons were cleaning out her house and there was a box of ornaments that she had put aside with a handwritten note saying – “some ornaments the 5 girls might want to keep.” By this time, all the girls had gone through everything and picked out what they wanted. When my brother-in-law Allen showed me the box, I told him I would take them. I mean, there were several things I remembered vividly from her annual Christmas tree – the star she used at the top of the tree, the plastic snowman and Santa Claus, the felt reindeer…these aren’t expensive ornaments by any means. But they are priceless to me and now my children. It’s amazing how different things look when you preserve them in a special way…like in a shadow box. The Christmas after Johnnie passed, I displayed the shadow box and all the grandkids loved it. Plus, I added her handwritten note to the box. Their reaction made me feel like I had done something good for them and I love displaying it each year.

Ornaments that my mother-in-law – Johnnie Odom – used on her tree. These were about to be discarded but I couldn’t let that happen. Included in the box is a handwritten note about these ornaments to her 5 granddaughters…

Meanwhile…finished touches day is just about over…and tomorrow we decorate our family tree to round everything out.

Christmas Decorating and Hallmark Movies

My Mexican Christmas tree…before I started adding ornaments this year!

The day after Thanksgiving is my day to get the Odom home into the Christmas spirit! With Eddie’s help, we brought down all the boxes in the attic that I planned to use this year.

A few years ago, I took a bit of time after the new year and organized my Christmas boxes and labeled everything by room. This makes it easy to get the decorating done and also pack everything back up after new yeas. I also have quite a few boxes of things I’ve used over the years but I’m not ready to part with yet. Who knows? Maybe my kids will want to use some of these things at some point. We shall see…

I always start in the family room with the mantle. Luckily, Eddie was still hanging around and was able to help me with lights on the mantle greenery. The pre-lit garland decided it was done but I’m liking the strand of lights I replaced it with because the light seem brighter and there are more of them. After that, Eddie went off to work on his “to-do” list and I was left with Hallmark Christmas movies and the rest of the decorating.

The mantle is decorated and Hallmark Christmas movies are on the TV…

It’s become another tradition for me to watch all those sappy Hallmark Christmas movies as I’m decorating. Honestly…you can predict the outcome to every single one and yet I cry at the end of them all! It’s just like the those Hallmark commercials…they get me every time!

The only thing I changed up a bit this year was my Mexican Christmas tree. I’ve bought quite a few new items this year and so I decided to retire a few older items. I added the grab bag ornaments I found thrifting recently. I also added all the tin ornaments I bought in Austin, Texas recently. I bought a few sugar skull items at Sojourns in Birmingham a few weeks ago…they went on the tree too. A few older items are a must every year, especially the crosses and my Virgen de Guadalupe ornament. Mexican Santa ornament and my Christopher Radko -Feliz Navidad ornament (a gift from a friend) are always on the tree. It’s the one tree I generally decorate myself so I take my time and enjoy the process.

Sunday night we decorate the family tree with the entire family – and we only decorate with Hallmark ornaments. I guess you could say Hallmark is in our blood! Another tradition…

Turkey Day 2015

My first Thanksgiving turkey and stuffing – all by myself!

I have a confession to make…this is the first year that I’ve prepared an entire Thanksgiving meal by myself. Yep…that’s right! I’ve never in all my life done this…but this year I decided it was time.

We had already celebrated Thanksgiving with the extended Odom family last Saturday. My brother-in-law, Terry, did the honors where the cooking was concerned. We brought the “big” cookie and some great wine. Before my sister-in-law passed away, she and my other sister-in-law typically did all the cooking. We had quite a banter going back and forth about the food. They would tease me because I didn’t cook and so I was always given the task of bringing the drinks and desserts. This usually consisted of pies from Costco. (FYI – This was before the big cookie made it’s appearance in recent years.) I joked that my culinary expertise was so great that I had sold my pie recipe to Costco so why should I make them when I could buy them! In reality, I told them one year not too long ago, that it didn’t make sense for me to cook since they were both so good at it! It was the truth too, not just a line to get out of doing the work. Their Thanksgiving menu was always fabulous!

Over the past few years, I’ve wanted to learn more about how to make our Zuniga traditional Thanksgiving meal – in particular the turkey and stuffing – so I asked my mother to teach me and my daughters what to do. I took pictures of the process and also wrote the directions down – which I can’t seem to find now. She loved doing this with us and we a blast learning her method of cooking. Anyway, my mother went to Chicago this year to be with my sister and her family and since Eddie and I were going to be home with two of our three kids this Thanksgiving, we decided to get a turkey and make a traditional meal. Rather, he bought the turkey and “I” made the traditional meal!

Deviled eggs…a little mayo, mustard and sweet pickle relish. Delish!

I made the stuffing (or dressing) and stuffed the bird close to midnight last night. I had enough for a casserole dish of dressing on the side. I also made deviled eggs because these are a staple at every Thanksgiving meal! The heavenly aroma of turkey woke me up early and my husband nudged me out of bed so I could check on the bird and turn the oven off. We got up to make breakfast for the family – my daughter Anna Marie and her new hubby Ryan came by for French toast before heading out-of-town this afternoon. While they were here, I made the other preparations… peeled potatoes, got the mac and cheese ready, green beans and almonds in a pan and finally, took a shot at making giblet gravy. It was a little thick (I think I used too much flour), but it did the trick and everyone seemed to enjoy it on their food.

Enough food for an army!

My brother-in-law and sister-law, Allen and Rhonda came over to join us for our Thanksgiving meal. It was a small group but it was really nice and relaxing once we got our plates fixed and sat at the dining room table to eat, talk, laugh and share stories.

Pumpkin pie and apple/cranberry pie were the dessert choices. I’ll have one of each please with a little whipped cream! It was a great day and I’m tired now but it’s a good tired. I feel great about being able to make this wonderful meal for my family and we have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow and the weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving y’all! I hope you and your family had a wonderful day together too!

My Thanksgiving Table

My Thanksgiving Table this year…

Tonight I’m looking at my Thanksgiving table and anticipating tomorrow when we will gather together and enjoy a wonderful meal and each other’s company. This year will be a little different.

We’ve already had our “big” Thanksgiving family gathering in Jasper – this past Saturday. Tomorrow, it will be me, Eddie and two of our children. We’ll add my brother and sister-in-law too. Hopefully a few of the nephews will be able to join us at some point. It will be a small gathering, but it will be family and I’m so thankful we have one another.

My “married” daughter – Anna Marie – and her new hubby, Ryan, will join us for a Thanksgiving breakfast tomorrow morning, which is something new to us. We’ll be having French toast! So maybe this will be a new tradition? I don’t know but whatever the case, I’m just thankful they are able to spend a little time with us tomorrow.

So tonight, I’m going over my menu for tomorrow and getting as much done ahead of time as I can. I’ll be making a turkey without my mother this year. My mother is enjoying the holiday with my sister Laurie in Chicago this year. The eggs are boiling as I write this – so we’ll make some deviled eggs tonight. We’ll also make the stuffing tonight too – sorry, but when you put it in the bird, it’s stuffing to me! (I know…I know…in the south it’s called dressing…)

A portion of my Thanksgiving table centerpiece…I found a new wine to try tomorrow too – Cherry Tart Pinot Noir!

In the end, we will be together as a family – whoever can be here – and we’ll enjoy the time together. We’ll add people to the table along with the food and it will be wonderful.

I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow! Enjoy your time together…and blessing to all.

Found these old timey cards at World Market a few years ago and have been using them as napkin rings…they add a certain something to the table, don’t you think?
