Three Cheese Griller with Veggie Salad This was a surprise Meatless Monday, because I didn’t even know I was doing it until I was almost done. Dave is out of town, kids are going three different ways. I’m on day four of refinishing my kitchen table in mid ninety degree heat… End of May = crazy times. Yesterday, inbetween [...] 
…Lest there is anyone else as gullible as I. We are surrounded by things that should illegal: Motorcycles without mufflers, Barbie commercials that make them look like they can walk by themselves, food labeling that want you to believe a fruit snack is as good for you as the real thing, and …plant descriptions that say, New! Clumping, non-invasive spearmint. Wow, [...]  In Minnesota, anything is possible. Anything with the weather, that is. On Saturday, I laid in bed, reading, working on my computer, happy. The weather map showed a great big sunshine with a high of 83. Not sure why that was, because out my window it was windy, cold, and 48 degrees. And then, in true [...]  My First Rhubarb Love That, of course was before I fell for Al Sicherman. But I recently made this cake, after about a year hiatus. Morgan declared it her personal favorite. I suspect that’s mostly because she always sides with my mom. They have this little thing going. Have I ever mentioned that Morgan and my mom [...] 
For the uninitiated, this is better known as: Stage Three. “Dave,” I ask, “Is there anyone you want to brown-nose at the office?” “No, not really.” “Charlie. Do your teachers want more asparagus?” “No, I don’t think so.” “Morgan?” “NO MOM!” I rack my brain… Who has told me they would do anything for fresh asparagus? I can’t remember. Something tells me that everyone must [...] 
So, I had bookclub on Monday this week. Didn’t prepare ahead and have Meatless Monday on Sunday. Didn’t cook meatless for my family before I left. Didn’t do much of anything, really. Except have a rotten, horrible day. I can’t remember everything that happened, but Monday was bad, bad, bad. I was late to bookclub as usual, [...]  Grandpa Hank is my father in-law and this is his old-time salad dressing for fresh-from-the-garden lettuce — which I just harvested yesterday. I suppose I could write this as a Meatless Monday recipe, but I didn’t because it really isn’t enough for a meal. But it IS the only way my kids would ever eat salad. [...] 
I need a garden fix. I want to weed. I want to escape this stupid computer and stupid soccer and get the Hell out of my office. My dog is ready to implode. I have chicks in my laundry room. The cats are sitting in the trees with the bird feeders. It’s raining. It’s cold. And [...]  Steamy Kitchen’s Shrimp Fried Rice It’s another recipe from The Steamy Kitchen’s cookbook. But in the text, she credits Elise from SimplyRecipes.com for the recipe. It’s all so confusing! Either way, it was easy and delicious. I got a new rice cooker for Mother’s Day. An expensive Neuro Fuzzy to replace my very old $25 one. The old one [...] |
