About Me
- Mary Lynne
- West Virginia
- When I started my retirement travels in 2009, I wanted a way to share it with family and friends as it was happening. Hence, "My Travel Journal". However I realized I wouldn't always be on a trip and wondered what to do with the blog in between times. My daughter pointed out, wisely, that travels can also include trips to the kitchen to try a new recipe, trips to visit family, trips to my neighborhood Starbucks, or a fun day trip with a friend. You're welcome to join me on any of these journeys! I've set up individual pages for each of my major trips (see tabs above).
Also, I have an Etsy shop where my current needlework resides. The last pieces I posted here were in 2013! So if you'd like to see what I have accomplished recently, go to (and I apologize for having to copy and paste):

I recently added an "Italian Word a Day" thingie which shows up at the bottom of every page. You see the word and can click to hear it pronounced. I've been enjoying it and I think my accent is improving as time goes by.

Mary Lynne,
This recipe looks delicious and very healthy! I love adding eggs to dishes (I just added it to my spinach salad), and I really enjoy when the runny yolk spills out onto the rest of the food. Thanks for the recipe, I hope to try it in the next few days!
Wow, Ashley - what a treat getting a comment from you! I really have been enjoying your recipes and your writing, so thank you so much for your visit. Tonight I cheated - heated up a can of beef barley soup, dropped my egg in and served it over a half of one of those demi-baguettes. :) Not as good but super quick and I wanted a little extra protein.
