Well, it's been pretty quiet around here. Weather? well is been some pretty cold night, then some cool nights, then some warm days................and yes we are back to the high 80's & low 90's! UGH! Cleaning and cooking, working in the yard, and eating out have pretty much filled our days.
Now, I know that this first picture only shows THREE items......and yes we did cook meals more than two times since I last posted......but it was eaiter leftovers...forgot to take a picture or eating out. So the only thing I have to share is Fajitas with refried beans, a DELICIOUS pork loin, and my oatmeal raisin cookies.
As indicated above...........Dinner Out! We have accumulated several gift cards, most recently as Christmas gifts, and with Covid and social distancing etc. we have not had the chance to use them. Since both of us have both our first and second Covid vaccine shots, we are starting to get back to enjoying dinner out. We had an excellent at Olive Garden a few days ago, They have an excellent salad, and some pretty good bread sticks which we enjoyed waiting for our "entray" Rich opted for Speghetti with Sausage, and I had the Shrimp and Scallop Alfredo (1/2 of which I took home and had for dinner 2 or 3 days later.)😋
When Dennis visited, he bought us a Silicone Baking Mat. So Rich decided to see how it worked. WOW! What a difference... not just that dough does not stick, but the cleanup is so much faster. Needless to say, the Potato Doughnuts were delicious. ( Old recipe of his Mom's)💖
Seems like there is no end to working in the yard. Earlier in the week there was some trimming on some of the Palm trees ( next is cutting limbs) and yesterday, he was out front replacing a sprinkler head, I happened to look out the window a few days ago while he was doing some concrete repair on the boathous steps. About midway between our dock and our neighbor's dock was this large alegator sunning himself in the weeds! Or maybe he was watching Rich very closely!
We'll be heading north to Black Lake in May, so I've been spending time making lists of everything we need to pack, everything we need to do before we go, and booking hotel rooms, since we usualy take our time driving - so I had to book 3 nights. I have to have everything listed.....date to stop mail, date to put Diriect TV on "vacation".... when to order medicine refills...reminders to pay ahead for lawn work, and electric bills etc......Yes I am very very organized.
And speaking of being organized.........today is "prepare the dinner menu for the next 7-10 day, and start preparing the grocery list for Monday! And today is Thursday, and that is "clean the family room" day.
