Forever Chic has arrived in The Humble Bungalow!

Blogger and writer Tish Jett's book Forever Chic arrived in the post this week!
The chic and savvy Deja Pseu hosted a giveaway on her blog and I was fortunate enough to be the recipient of this delicious book. Thank you Deja Pseu I am so grateful that the book arrived safely after the post office mix up.

I can hardly wait to read it but it will have to wait as we are busy with friends and the calendar is getting filled up.
I'd like to hunker down and take a couple of days and simply soak in all of Tish's words of wisdom.


I'll write a review of the book when I am finished reading it.

(Did you notice the card that Deja Pseu sent with the book?)


My lazy lunch...
leftover butternut squash, a few strands of spaghetti noodles, and an egg beaten up and topped with chives.
When I bought this wee frying pan I had no idea that it would get so much use.
It comes in so handy for roasting nuts, cooking up an egg or two and making a single serving of French Toast.


I must be off as I have some chocolate zucchini cakes to bake.
The Root Cellar had zucchini on sale and I could not resist a bargain.

Be Well and remember Kindness never goes out of style.

...chocolate zucchini cakes sound really yummy.

I have been reading this book and it certainly is full of wonderful things to think about. I have enjoyed it very much and I think you will too.

Thank you for the reminder about kindness. I needed to hear that today. After a fairly stressful three weeks (two funerals, my mother in the hospital, a photo shoot at our farm, preparing Thanksgiving for family, and a few other surprises) I was not feeling very kind. I need to improve my attitude.

I've read Tish Jett's book and enjoyed it very much.

Have fun with your friends this holiday season. Would you share the recipe for the zucchini cakes? Anything with chocolate and a vegetable needs to be in my recipe file!

One more thing--is that a Le Creuset pan? If so, I have one that size and use it constantly.

The cakes sound delicious and your lunch scramble looks yummy!
Kindness - there's never enough of it, and I love to encounter it.

Yours is always the first blog I read each day!

You are so right about kindness!

I second the request for the chocolate zucchini cake recipe if it is not a closely held secret :)

Duchesse said...

Me, too, that cake sounds irresistible!

Cast iron? If so, I have a pan that size and I love it!

I found it online and it is super rich and very moist.

No this one is a Le Creuset copy cat in a small size,same enamel over cast iron and heavy duty.

Yes it is cast iron, not the beloved Le Creuset as they have stopped making the lime colour so I snapped this up at the hardware store when I saw it.
