House of Alcina

  • Sunday!

    Always a good sermon but we watched it from bed today. We all have a really bad cold. My favorite quote today was: “Show me your closest friend and I’ll show you your future.” We talk to our kids a… Continue reading

  • I’m not ready.

    I was going to decorate for fall today, but… I don’t really wanna. I’m probably going to be super minimal this year with decorating. Gary likes most things fall, but he absolutely hates Halloween. He won’t even let the kids… Continue reading

  • Kombucha

    Gary picked up several kinds of Kombucha for us to try. I don’t hate it. We tried the Grapefruit and Tangerine today. He loves grapefruit, so he liked it more than I did. I like eating grapefruit, but maybe not… Continue reading

  • 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

    I love RFK Jr so much, and that speech he just gave is exactly why I do. I love Vance too, but this could’ve been the best President/VP duo in history. I’m just glad he’s endorsing Ttrump and can be… Continue reading

  • Coconut Chicken Curry

    This is a regular meal here in our house and it’s almost that time of year that we can enjoy warm comfort food. Ingredients for Curry: 1 cooked deboned rotisserie chicken  8-10 sliced sweet peppers (I use one bag) 1… Continue reading

  • 🤍🤍🤍

    That’s a good boy and a good girl. Continue reading

  • It’s just as important as combating fear. Maybe more. You’ve gotta get so anchored in life and your faith, that other people’s chaos doesn’t bother you. You’ve gotta be so anchored that this insane world doesn’t affect your day to… Continue reading

  • Day Cruising

    Checking out the bay levels and riding around the hood. We’re waiting to pick up Miss Harper. This guy is off until Monday. 🤍 Continue reading

  • Ok ok..

    I’m sorry for all the long winded personal posts. Actually, I don’t really know why I’m apologizing, it’s my blog. If you don’t want to read it, you are not forced to be here. ☺️ I love to look back… Continue reading

  • Dammit Phil

    I can’t believe I have to even say this in response to the following post, but I was joking. (No I didn’t actually google it. I mean I did, but only to take a ridiculous screenshot to reply to his… Continue reading

  • Higher Heat Bakes

    I tried a higher heat to get a faster bake today. The boule on the right is smoked Cheddar and it’s seasoned thoroughly with Dan O’s Cheesoning. I preheated my oven to 500, and baked covered for 25 minutes and… Continue reading

  • Good Stuff!

    I am so impressed with Gary’s new job. He came home with a gorgeous pair of Carhartt boots, a Carhartt Fire Resistant winter coat and they gave him a THOUSAND dollar voucher for new office casual work clothes. (He gets… Continue reading

  • 🤍🤍🤍

    My honey surprised me with these lovelies. I wasn’t expecting him home until this afternoon. They finished up his tour and training early. 🤍 Continue reading

  • Oh my goodness 😍

    Gary’s first day of work. They grow up so fast don’t they. lol All jokes aside, I adore him and I’m so happy for him. His supervisor told him today “No more breaking your back for a paycheck. You’re gonna… Continue reading

  • Dark colored Hooch?

    Keep or Toss? You’ll get a million different responses to this, but I’m gonna say no. I’ve yet to have a starter go bad, BUT.. I recently tried stirring that thick hooch back into one of my mini starter jars… Continue reading

  • Goodbye 👋🏼

    Finally getting rid of these bins in the kids closets! They served a good purpose for a long time but good riddance. I hate cleaning them out. We have a guy coming Tuesday to put some built in shelves in… Continue reading

  • Summer Skies Starbucks

    Mr. Alcina picked this up for me on his way home and I give it a 5/10. I’m kinda picky about boba tea. It was also 9$ and that’s ridiculous. I prefer to buy tapioca pearls and add them to… Continue reading

  • 🤍 Sunday

    We had such a wonderful Sermon today. We’re studying the book of James and I really like how no-nonsense and straight forward it is. It’s not always the most comfortable to read, but it also reminds us that when we… Continue reading

  • Go Crazy 🤣 Wheat vs. Sourdough

    Those of you who are in my Florida Sourdough group, this hopefully helps clear up that crazy argument. 🤣 I didn’t comment but I deleted the thread when she got belligerent and I booted her. 🤣 Y’all went off though.… Continue reading

  • Attention Sourdough Ladies!!!

    This is a 21 GALLON garbage bin that has touchless infrared auto open and close, and it is awesome. No more trying to get my can open with the awkward foot pedal or trying to adjust my bags with sourdough… Continue reading
