Greetings

I've been working on my bucket list. Well, in an imaginary, blogging kind of way, but whatever. In May I fulfilled my wish to be a news anchor. Today I'm writing greeting cards.

I had to get to this one quickly, before sending cards go the way of the dinosaur. And I really wanted to take a shot at this one. I mean, can you imagine people all over the country sending your words to each other as a way of expressing what they feel? How great is that.

So I'm starting a line of cards. And although I originally thought I was just creating these heartfelt sentiments for here, on second thought (and due to a great part to how long these took me to make) I'm thinking of actually selling them. I mean, I've seen the kind of dreck (that's Yiddish for crap) that people buy online. Why not my cards?

Here's the beginning of my line. Some of these are for mainstream occasions, with these I'll have to compete for market share. But in order to create my own market, some are for . . . more unique situations.

Speaking of food . . . today I'm sharing a side dish recipe:

Spinach Rice

What do you think? I should start an Etsy shop, right? Now just to decide what to charge.

1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

*Add the vegetable broth, salt, pepper, cayenne and spinach. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Immediately add the rice, stir, cover and remove from heat.
