I started this blog in September 2008 when I moved to downtown St. Petersburg, with the comment, “This is just a random, occasionally updated, collection of my musings about what is going on in my world and my new city.” There are probably fewer posts about my “new” city, now. However you can count on a continuation of food, restaurant and travel posts. I hope you enjoy this little journey in my world.

H.O.T.
Yes it is hot in Saint Petersburg, FL, as in very warm temperatures. But, today, I re-started my volunteer efforts with a trip to the Ronald McDonald House in St. Pete. So why is that HOT, you ask? Because I volunteer through an organization called HandsOn Tampa (got it now?...). It is a great organization as you can pick and choose where and when you volunteer. Tonight, four of us prepared Shepherds Pie and a mixed salad for the residents of RMH. It was good fun, and nice to feel I was helping others again.

Good on you! Did you sample any of the Shepards Pie?
No, unfortunately I did not. It looked and smelled good, but the house was full, and it is more important that the residents have first shot at the food. Interesting fact - two of the four volunteers are vegetarians, including the Project Coordinator, who selected the menu.
That's interesting... I'd considered making a Shepherd's Pie for this weekend. I was starting to move away from it... but maybe this is a "sign"? :-)
