    Spinach is what set me off and got me started on this whole stupid thing so it is the bottom of my list for greens. Glad that your cheese is playing nice with you. My husband still gives me weird looks and has all sorts of commentary on things I do. I think we're just still too young, or maybe just not married long enough (only 5 years) for...

    Pizza for supper tonight! I'll roast some of my fresh yellow cherry tomatoes, I have fresh basil from the farmer's market yesterday, and some fresh mozzarella. I just make personal sized pizzas because my husband won't touch a pizza like that. The second pizza will be a dessert pizza with blueberries and goat cheese. I'm thinking nuts would be pushing my...

    This sounds like me when I had to give up cheese. I wasn't so pissy about all the other things, but cheese? You have got to be freakin KIDDIN me! I thought nothing of going throw 10-15 pounds of cheddar, 5-10 of mozzarella and 5-10 of assorted other cheeses in a month. For two people! And I was probably eating 3/4 of that, if not more. I never considered...

    I occasionally indulge in a whole case from Costco when they're on sale. My husband thinks I'm spoiled, I tell him I just like the good stuff. I generally stick with the bottles, because I have no business drinking the flavored ones with citrus juice in them. I was pushing my luck this morning with a blood orange one, my favorite! It didn't disagree with...

    I went to the farmer's market today and found beets with their greens still on them. Not a particularly common occurrence around here. I thought I would give the greens to my bunny, but have decided to see if I can tolerate them. I haven't had anything green and leafy besides plain old lettuce in a year and it is making me crazy. I'll probably still give...

    So I went to the kitchen to make start dinner and it seemed dark. Then I looked out the window at the thermometer and noticed that the sky was BLACK! It was still about 90 then. In the space of half an hour the temp dropped 25 degrees and it rained some. (People here probably thought the sky was falling, but I grew up where it rains, this didn't look like...

    I live in an area full of immigrants and we have more than half a dozen hispanic markets here and in the next city over... I still had to call 4 before I found one that isn't out of fresh guavas. I actually had the store by my house tell me they could order guavas for me for $7.99 a lb. I told him I'd think about it. Are these people aware that there are...

    I'm quite sure it is tomorrow by now, but Happy Birthday!

    Because I have to share my food porn over here if I'm sharing it other places. This is what a perfect donut hole looks like. (It did not survive more than several seconds beyond having its picture taken.)

    That sounds like the official redneck holiday policy! This also applies to shindigs, hootenannys and family reunions.
  11. Adalaide
    Oh right.... HAPPY FOURTH!!! Be safe, keep your limbs attached and don't burn anything down.

    My husband had a rare two days in a row off work the past two days. Which means he is heading off to work today and it is back to life as usual, holiday or no. I have a bunch of pork roasts that I cut into small "single serve" sizes for the two of us. I had gotten two out to thaw and put them in the crockpot together this morning. I'm sure I'll think of some...

    I know you won't forget. The heat is what it is. I'm pretty beat for the day myself and won't do much more than sitting on my butt and dinner after my trip out this morning in the sun and heat at 9 in the morning. Whoever ordered this heat is no longer allowed to place orders. Ever. How do we cope? A/C of course! I rarely leave home in this kind of...

    You just need to stop playing with all the critters. Lucys (Lucies? Luci?) and critters do not mix!

    In my experience most spaghetti sauces are gluten free. I always bought Classico because it doesn't taste like chemical crap. If you want to try something "exotic" Dave's has a nice butternut sauce, but it is rather expensive. ETA: I shouldn't have conversations while typing. I type what I mean to say and say what I mean to type.

    Needed to go to Home Depot to pick up some things. Got up super early to avoid the heat. Got home at 9:30 and it is already 80. There isn't really anything the low humidity can do for us with these temps, it is just too damn hot! Since this is an outdoor project that involves painting something, I suppose it'll have to wait until about sunset so I can go...

    Apparently I have given myself a very serious problem. I am now addicted to brussel sprouts, they're for dinner again. I threw together some scalloped taters. My husband wants his bratz which I can't possibly eat so I'll just have a burger.

    I'm not allowed to have bacon in the house. Because I apparently have about as much self control as a toddler would if a cookie jar tipped over in front of them. I wanted to make them with bacon but figured that sausage would have to be a suitable substitute and just cooked it until it was itsy bitsy crispy crumbles. HAH! I showed it! I would totally...

    I scrapped the corn idea when I got to the kitchen. I remembered I have brussel sprouts in the fridge. Fresh and beautiful and just dying to be eaten. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them so I started poking around in there and remembered I have an eensy bit of loose sausage from the other day. I fried about a tablespoon of that, threw in some olive...

    I'm supposed to be making chicken for supper, but after my hour getting mint I totally forgot to get chicken from the freezer before I came to get my wits back. Yes, between my two mint plants that have definitely become bushes, it took an hour to get them both down to regular plant size again. I think I can double my fudge recipe and have leftover Moroccan...

    So I guess I was either a bum or a cat today. Tonight is burgers and fries and some sort of vegetable-y type of thing.

    this is what I did all afternoon

    Now that it has been all day and I had a nap and don't want to strangle anyone at the moment, I can share what happened with the moronic doctor I fired today. I've been having a problem with my vision that is almost certainly medical in nature, not an actual vision problem. So I go off to the doctor last week, and today was just follow up from blood...

    When my oldest daughter was 6 she chased me around my mother's yard with a snake. I was probably shrieking like a little girl, all I actually remember was the panic. I ran in the house and my mother forbid her to bring the snake in the house. What is up with little girls and snakes? EWWW!!!!

    Look on the bright side, at least chipmunks aren't a rabies risk. So, it could be worse I guess. And yes, the visual of you running across your yard with scissors is quite hilarious. I needed a laugh today. (Not just because it is a bad day, but because I'm at the end of a book I've read before and I know what happens and I'm about to lose a very dear...
