After two days in pajamas, it was time to head out into the real world.
So off we went to Benihana's for lunch.
A chef prepares your dishes at the table, performs tricks and tells jokes. They are famous for their onion volcanoes.
Afterwards a quick trip to True Value for spray paint where I was surprised to find a whole section of Moroccan pottery. I bought this pretty bowl for a friend and will gift it tonight along with the green doily I made some time back.
Back home, it was time for a bowl of apple cranberry crisp served with a dollop of ice cream and coconut spiced chai. Delicious!
Hope you are having a fabulous Friday! Friendship blessings, Tammy

Oooooo, that bowl, Tammy, is gorgeous. I'd have a hard time giving that one away. Actually, I'd probably buy one for me and one to give away. ha! The lunch and dessert look good, too! Susan
That looks good, thanks to be my volger, It is here very hot today, around 40. I am sitting in the house to. Bay from Dubai
So nice to hear of your pleasant and relaxing day. I love that bowl too. I feel for you with that sand. I know it is something you have to deal with but just like storms and wind and hale it's not nice. Weather is very nice here for a few days. Then escalating temps again. Blessings.

Seems that apple crisps are the thing lately. I've heard of so many girls enjoying them!
Lovely bowl, Tammy! The colors and design are so pretty.
Your lunch looks like 'fun'....with food! Haven't been to "Bennies" in ages, but do remember the onions!
Well, it seems you got two great jammies days recently. Now THAT is a good idea.
Hugs,
Jan
but it isn't apple season!! sounds so good and so sorry about the haze and heat! I have a sweater on this afternoon!! xox
You're a brave woman to get out in that heat! Looks like it was worth it though, I love the bowl!
Thank you for stopping by my blog this morning and leaving the sweet comment. It brought a smile to my day.

The bowl is fabulous! Your dessert has made me hungry so I am off for some sugar free ice cream!
Love,

You have True Value there!!?? and Moroccan pottery can be found there ...sorry, I find that very funny!!! Happy to see you relaxing and eating...nothing better...have a great weekend Tammy... :)
WHEW!!!! 111 DEGREES.....IT MUST BE TERRIBLE....IT IS SO HOT HERE, 80 TO 90'S....
AND THAT IS HOT TO ME.
HEARD OF BENIHANNI'S IT MUST BE GREAT, FOOD SOUNDS DELICIOUS....YOUR APPLE CRISP LOOKS YUMMY.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.....RIZZI
I stay in my pj's all day when we have temps below freezing ..... I would probably do that too if it was 111'!!! Yikes! I'm glad you got to go out for a nice dinner - I haven't been to Bennihana's since I was a kid :)
http://missmustardseed.blogspot.com/ Ck. this blog out -- she has lots of info on chalk paint. Love the pottery. Can't believe you found it at True Value. My True Value is the thing I'll miss most about my neighborhood. Chalk paint is really had to find -- mostly you have to order it. Have a great weekend & stay cool. Jan
Lucky recipient of the bowl and the doily! The crisp looks cool and refreshing..I can 't imagine eating anything hot when the weather's soo hot! Have a great week and Stay Cool!!
Dearest Tammy,
Wow, heavy winds with dust and only 7% humidity... How do you keep your skin moisterized in such a harsh climate?! Food of course has a big impact, depending what you nourish on. For sure it also has an impact on your hair.
We have 38% humidity now, lots of wind too that makes it so dry. The one night rain didn't do much.
Your lunch looks good and I'm amazed at your True Value and also at what you found there. A great gift to take along with your crocheted labor of love!
Have a great Saturday and lots of love,
Mariette
Looks like a truly marvelous day! The bowl for your friend is so very pretty. I'm sure she will be thrilled. How thoughtful you always are. Enjoy the evening. Blessings.
Sounds like a great day (except for the heat!) Try to stay cool Tammy. Diane
sounds like fun, I love pj days too...but agree that they can't last forever!
Hi Tammy,
Phew, that must be so hot and I would be wanting to stay indoors in my PJs.
The bowl and doily are so lovely and such a wonderful gift, for a friend.
Happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
Tammy, you know how to eat! I've been meaning to tell you how happy I am for you now that you are on vacation. I hope you enjoy everyday to it's fullest. Have a nice weekend! Twyla
Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting. I am happy to be following your blog now. Sunny Smiles...
The heat and dust must be miserable, do you have to watch out for lung infections? I know in Az you do.
Your find at the hardware store was great, nothing like that here only Yankee candles :(
Nice to come home to a good treat too.
Blessings to your part of the world today

As I write this it is raining and chilly here. My husband is officiating an outdoor wedding this evening. We may be gathering umbrellas this afternoon. I love the bowl and I am sure your friend will too. The green doilie you made is the best part of your gift. I hope it doen't get too warm or too dusty. It seems that you get used to the dust.
Oooo, nuthin's better than a bowl of warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream on top. 'Cept for adding a cuppa chai tea ;) Your doily looks beautiful, T, as is the Moroccan bowl. What a lovely gift.
I just can't get past the h-e-a-t!! ...and I complain at 90!!
Stay Cool!!
Marilyn
Oh my! Keep cool! Love the pics!
Sounds like a grand time! I haven't been out to eat in quite awhile.
Brenda
I can't imagine that heat! Wow! Dinner sounded great and your dessert at home even better!
yum,
I haven't had breakfast yet, so the coconut chai is calling me.
Seems like pajamas are the way to go!
The beautiful handmade doily is perfect for showing off that exquisite bowl...your friend will love them for sure!
I love school holidays....routine goes out the window and it's so nice to just relax.
Enjoy every moment,
Serena xo
Wow...the heat that you have is amazing! I think I would not be able to handle it. I am not a hot weather type of girl... So glad you were able to get out and enjoy a nice meal. Sending you oodles of love and happy creating my friend...were you able to make any doilies for a bracelet or two?
Happy Father's Day! xoxoxo
111 degrees doesn't sound so great - but everything else does!!! :)
Wishing you a happy one, Tammy!
Hugs,
Zuzu
I love a day in my jammies. I can't do more than one though unless I am seriously sick. An onion volcano? I should try and make one for Brennon, who loves onions!
hugs from me to you!
Its test is very good and unique from the other dishes. It is very healthy dish. I also prepared it on today 's lunch.
Oo I love that Moroccan pottery bowl. The colors and pattern are fabulous! We have a Benihana's here too, I haven't been there in a while, but your photo of the onion volcano brought back some fun memories!
