Sharyn!
He is a keeper! Was this for mother's day?

I am such a hypocrite....saying that I think Mother's Day is a commercial holiday, then mailing out 3 cards @ $5. 77 each. Me bad.

Susan,
You are my role model for planning ahead meals, organizing, and so many other saving ideas. Thank you!

In a hurry, late lunch for dH before work: A home made burrito. so satisfying.
Wait until he finds out that he gets 1/2 of the tiny tax refund for his bycycle tires.
The other half pays the credit card.
He needs this encouragement as he was stalwart in our recent plumbing crisis, doing what he could silently, in the background, clearing the pipes of debris, removing the old bursted water heater, caulking around air cracks in the water heater closet. I am just hoping when I use the washer it doesn't squirt out purple water to the outside.......
or, I don't know, what could go wrong?

Did some food prep in between client obligations this evening, so dinner was a few strips of bacon and a few bites of scrambled eggs with cheese mixed into them. Those went into the fridge for easy breakfasts for the next few days. :-)

A hamburger minestrone type soup in the slow cooker and a cheese biscuit from Tim's. Temps are supposed to drop for several days so it is soup weather.

I’m having lasagna with meat sauce from my favorite Italian restaurant (Stockton, Ca). My hubs brought it for me! He also brought Andersen’s Pea Soup.

Tacos sound good, but not anyone else’s favorite. Got lucky with pies. My housekeeper made the pie crust. Hers is better than mine.

Wow Becky, I need a bigger crockpot! Are you thinking of opening a restaurant?
My CP is only 1.5 quart, and that I have found is not very big.
You don't mind if we all copy you?

Hi Becky, I wish I could have dinner at your house! Sounds amazing.

Quiet week. Mostly being eating snacks. I will have to do better tomorrow. Maybe tacos will be the way to go.

I got 17 pints of apple butter from my two crockpots. I took one pint with me when I took the girls to the dairy farm down the road. Traded for a quart of fresh cream. I see pie and whipped cream on the horizon. All three stepsons stopped by and took a jar of apple butter.

Rosemary and garlic are great with pork. R would probably like the sauce you use. He wants cayenne in everything including chocolate cake. I may try it Thx. Sounds like a pulled pork dish -could use a different cut of meat.

Golden, I cook roast pork tenderloin, but haven’t used spices other than salt and pepper. Sometimes eastern North Carolina style with a mix of apple cider vinegar, a little vegetable oil and a dash of red pepper and cayenne. Chop the pork and use the vinegar mix as a sauce.

I fell in love with the "chop chop" salad blends from the grocery store and now I dice all my salads, in fact that's what I had for supper tonight with chicken thrown on top. I wouldn't say no to a little of Becky's cobbler for dessert though... mmm, warm blueberry cobbler 🤤

Two choices from the crockpots. Chili or chicken and dumplings, green salad, blueberry cobbler.

Your friend wins the green medal of lettucey virtue. All the best cookery books will tell you never to cut or chop leaves, always tear them (same with basil and other soft-leaved herbs).

I'm glad you noticed! Your palate must be better than mine - I have to confess I truly can't be bothered with it and just hack away as long as nobody's looking 😳

The technicalities are supposed to be something to do with bruising, or not bruising, damaging, or not damaging, bleah, whatever, can't remember, the cell walls and their chlorophyll and their aromatic oils. One way releases them and the other doesn't. Or destroys them and the other doesn't.

As you can see, I was really paying attention to this essential chapter.

One time, a friend helped me prepare a salad. Instead of chopping the lettuce into little chunks, she tore the leaves into small pieces. I wondered why she did that but didn't ask. When I ate the salad, i notice the lettuce tasted better. Anyone else tears the leaves instead of chops?

Leftovers for dinner tonight. I made a good-size batch of marinara with meat sauce a while back, pulled some out of the freezer last night and had some miracle noodle angel hair pasta mixed into it. YUM. Leftovers of that with a chopped salad tonight.
