a few weeks ago I picked up some new knives… they are a bit heavier that the old ones… put them up onto the IKEA magnet beside the stove…

the first day I cut myself as one slid down the magnet and I caught it…

and a few days ago, the same one slid down and landed on the stove…

I was so happy to see that the glass top of the stove didn’t crack…

but then I realized that the end of the knife put two chips in the porcelain…

every time I look at the stove I wonder what is on it, before remembering that these are the chips, lol…

going to have to have someone come and fill them up…

strawberries…

yesterday, while my grandson was here we set the table for Easter dinner…

together we decided on the tablecloth, dishes, platters, bowls, and how we would put the gifts on the plates… I used to buy books for all the special times, but now they are bigger I give them gift cards so they can make their own choice of something to read… also had a chocolate bunny for each of them…

while we were out shopping we picked up an angel food cake, strawberries and whipping cream for dessert… he cut the strawberries up before he left…

when the family arrived this afternoon the boys searched for treats from the Easter bunny… they found tons of mini eggs…

I had Easter treats too… got myself a beautiful heart-shaped amethyst from Poco Inspired, the kids brought me a bag of Ferrero Rocher mini eggs, and apparently there is a bag on my daughter’s mantle in Ottawa waiting for me;-)…

had a bit of a giggle today… saw the most beautiful soap slices on the counter in the washroom…

  
sadly, the aroma overpowered me… won’t be using that particular washroom for the next while… but the colours were beautiful…

tonight I made a portobello burger for my supper… 

  
the mushrooms were soaked in a marinade for about an hour and then baked in the oven for twenty minutes…

  
delicious…

this is the second time I’ve made this recipe… and I’ve been pleasantly surprised as to how great it tastes… didn’t miss meat at all… wasn’t sure when I sliced it in half if it would topple over, though… used up the last of the ciabatta buns…

really happy with the way I am using up all of my food purchases without waste… preplanning my meals has certainly helped me make use of everything I cook…
