Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Tuscan Stew

We had this for dinner on Tuesday night and it was yummy. Leftovers with some simple ingredients make something good.

  • 3/4 to 1 lb chicken, pork, or beef, cooked and cut into bite-size chunks
  • 12 red potatoes, quartered
  • 4 oz baby carrots
  • 1 15 oz (or so) can tomato sauce
  • Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and oregano to taste

Place vegetables and seasonings in covered skillet and add about 1/2 cup water (enough to cover the bottom of the pan). Cover and heat on medium heat until vegetables have softened. Arranged meat on top and stir in tomato sauce. Cover and place in oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Serve with crusty bread for dipping!

Strawberry Pop Tarts and Peanut Butter

I think this is a bit of alright. Yeah it looks like food porn but if it’s wrong I don’t wanna be right.

A Knockout Rose in bloom in the fall of the year. Pretty.

One Gallon Donated!

10653411_10153171192388830_5278662353680834233_nWith today’s donation I have now given a gallon of blood over my lifetime. It takes 8 full draws to reach that milestone. Since working at a blood bank I have donated more than I did before. To me asking others to donate means that I should be willing to donate myself. Just setting a good example for others.

Anyway, I am happy to do this to help save 3 lives and to help make a further contribution to the organization that I love to work for.

Donation day at the office. #balifesaver @bloodassurance
