Yesterday, dH put up a canopy, a neighbor and I helped, as he re-did the installation partly. It was a little more tolerable for me because another person was there. Today, we hung lanterns (battery operated paper things), and served pastry in the shade.  The neighbor came back.
Now, we will have a small space to sit outside, with occasional shade.
Over-the-top plans to hang twinkle lights tonight....
A life?   Party girl on!
Dinner will be outdoors, but do not yet know what...maybe tuna mac n' cheese only.

CWillie!
You can't make that up! Sounds like a wonderful meal, and that you are taking good care of yourself.
My mother used to make rhubarb pie, but never taught me. To have the rhubarb from your own garden, well, that is just like having a real life!
Is Monday a holiday in Canada and the U.K.?

I had a cold salad plate - chicken, potato salad, cucumbers and cauliflower. I'm still waiting for dessert to cool off, I made a crustless rhubarb pie with the first new stalks of the year.

Another day, another birthday. Grandson turning 21. He asked for macaroni and cheese topped with broiled sliced tomatoes, roast chicken, BLT salad and whipping cream pound cake with blueberries, homemade whipped cream. Used the last of my frozen blueberries.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.

Today's dinner is salad, I think. I took the time to pre-make 3 containers of salad for future meals this week, so all I have to do is toss a couple of extra toppings on there and some dressing. Shredded some block cheddar cheese to have that ready, too. :-)

Hi everyone!

Our Mother’s Day was nice and relaxing. Hubs made beef stew for dd and me. Dd’s Hubby was at work.

Today we are having slow cooked ribs, corn on the cob and asparagus. I slow cook the ribs in the oven for about 5-6 hours, then add bbq sauce at the end under the broiler to caramelize the sauce a bit.

Hi all,

My colleague made the most delicious salad. Peas, shrimp, with chopped green onions and celery and dill dressing. Simple but delicious!

I'm still trying to find some new cooking classes and getting some fresh inspiration.

Hi MsMadge,
I was orienting my nurse replacement all last week, so I didn't have a chance to get on the board. What I didn't know (and the company didn't tell me) is that she JUST graduated! Aaahhhh!

We are off to Guanajuato, Queretaro and San Miguel de Allende on Tuesday. We're scouting out places to retire (3 yrs 7 mo. to go).  I've heard from Mexicans and gringos alike that San Miguel would be a perfect spot. We'll see. Heaven knows I'm ready for a bit of time off.

Thanks for thinking of me.

We're having a good friend over for dinner tonight.
The menu; grilled rib eye steak, Italian spiced roasted baby red potatoes, steamed asparagus, (and being a half Mexican household, pico de gallo, guacamole and tortilas) a glass of Cab, ending with coffee and white cake with finely chopped pineapple and Mandarin oranges in the cake, covered with a cream cheese frosting covered in shredded coconut and decorated with pineapple, orange slices, maraschino cherries and slivered almonds.

Cheating tonight. Subway.
After a day spent emptying my storage unit and cramming the contents into this wee little house, I was in no mood to cook or even make a sandwich. Thank God my daughter and her cousin (big tall, strapping young man) were able to help - made the job much easier and faster. $55 a month I no longer have to pay on the storage unit!

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.

CWillie,
Might need that recipe, please. Interested in hamburger in the soup. Does it also have pasta?

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?
