MALAGA--A MEMORABLE MEAL

We hadn't been to Malaga for about a year, and I had forgotten how much we love their food. I would like to include a photo of my luscious chicken in wine sauce, but the photos on their website are protected. It is a little slice of
Basque country, hidden in a section of Trenton and a little hard to find, unless you visit Map Quest. They make it simple. After that, you can find this delightful place in 22 minutes (from Princeton). The white bean soup is perfection, and the bread is crusty and delicious. My chicken was accompanied by perfectly cooked green beans and carrots,plus potatoes that I will describe as follows: they are potato chips that are larger and thicker, not salty or greasy, and just heavenly=arranged around the plate in a lovely pattern. We were also served a bowl of delectable rice with peas and other goodies. Their website, for lots of information and photos is
http://www.malagarestaurant.com/
Don't forget the Sangria. It's heavenly. One more thing--the service is attentive, friendly, but unobtrusive. As we were about to leave, a guitarist visited our table and serenaded us. What a perfect ending to a lovely visit.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY...MORE FLOWERS


We are not talented gardeners. We've planted trees and flowers in our yard but our backs complain endlessly. Fresh flowers in the house are one of my greatest pleasures, and my generous husband gave me some gorgeous ones for Valentine's Day. A few of them are rather unusual, and I have a new love for flowering kale. Here they are. I hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day.

AUDIO PROMOS RESTORED

I have been informed by listeners that they always enjoyed hearing the promos that were made for my Treasured Voices programs. Last night, we put them back on my website http://www.treasuredvoices.org

These promos are from a few years ago, but they give you a sampling of the singer's artistry and power. I hope you enjoy them.
