I had a craving for macaroni and cheese… well I really wanted lobster mac and cheese, but didn’t have any lobster… I did have shrimp so decided on shrimp macaroni and cheese…

macaroni and cheese has been one of our family favourites… whenever I visit my daughter it is on the list of things that I must make, lol…

I was going to use oat milk instead of 2% regular milk which I didn’t have, but was told it wouldn’t turn out the way I am used to…

I cooked the macaroni and set it in the fridge to cool… then I contacted a friend and they brought me the milk as they were coming over anyway… yay…

once you’ve got a craving it is hard not to make what you want…

I made two pots… one with shrimp and bacon and one with only bacon…

I am going to package some up for the next few days and freeze some for down the road;-)…

it was absolutely delicious and I may have eaten two bowls;-)…

had a great day on Tuesday…

worked on homemade spaghetti sauce for a good portion of the day…

watched chickadees, nuthatches, and squirrels out the front window…

set the table for supper with the kids and tidied the house in preparation for the cleaners…

finished getting the rest of supper ready and had a great visit over the meal…

and they fixed the fire pit…

had a delicious supper on Tuesday…

visited the Wolseley Farmers Market and got some lovely items…

flowers; a beautiful pork chop; green, yellow, and purple beans; garlic; small new potatoes; little eggplants; free range eggs; an acorn squash; and a cob of corn…

cooked up, cooled and reheated the potatoes… then warmed up some chicken wings from the night before and boiled some of the beans…

yum…

looking forward to more delicious meals from this bounty…

bacon…

we’ve had burgers and bacon in many forms… we’ve been to a few favourite places…

and then there was Tony Roma’s and Captain’s Table and Dairy Queen;-)…

today is Easter, so I decided to make all my meals a treat;-)…

for breakfast I had two poached eggs with a potato patty…

there may have been a little chocolate eaten…

lunch was the last of my dimsum from Gimli Fish… the three packages are around $10 each and they provide three meals… it is a great option for me…

I did have a laugh when I microwaved the first batch… instead of using the timing for the microwave, I used the ones for steaming… it didn’t taste quite as good as usual that time, lol…

supper was a version of stuffed pork chops which I used to make for my beloved and I all the time… I used country style spareribs over my homemade stuffing…

came out beautifully and the bottom of the stuffing was deliciously crisp…

great food;-)…

I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day… from getting flowers from my beloved, to making heart shaped sugar cookies for the girls’ classrooms for years, to taking roses to my colleagues…

in later years, once the girls had flown the nest, we would have a special dinner… often steak and lobster…

this year I ordered a charcuterie board from Oak Hammock Marsh, one of our local not-for-profits, for my dinner tonight…

it was delivered to my door and looked festive…

there were cheeses, olives, crackers, cold cuts, fruit, nuts, herbs, even a bit of chocolate… and it came on a nice wooden board…

tonight I enjoyed half of it, and will finish it either tomorrow or Monday…

was thinking of my beloved as I enjoyed this treat…

made chicken soup the other day… cold outside and huge snowflakes were falling… seemed like just the thing to do…

although I could use the Instant Pot, I do it the old-fashioned way… I enjoy the aroma as it simmers away on the stove…

I like the time it takes to cool the chicken down and then separate the meat from the bones, adding in the barley, potatoes and other veggies and putting it back on to simmer…

once it was finished I packaged it up and with the last bit in the pot added dumplings for my supper…

good use of the day and delicious…

decided to make a vegetable terrine for our dinner…

I thought I had the recipe in my cookbook, but not so much…

it had come from an old Company’s Coming cookbook… I am sure I photographed the recipe before giving the cookbooks away… unfortunately, I didn’t mark them as recipes and had no idea when I gave them away, lol…

I had looked online at various recipes, but none of them were even close…

I checked the computer, contacted my sister-in-law and even called the Company’s Coming company…

the person on the other end of the phone was very helpful… I was wanting to know which book the recipe was in so that I could order it online… once she knew what I was looking for she hung up and started searching… she called back within a few hours to let me know which book it was in, but that the book was no longer sold, and that the recipe wasn’t in any of the new books…

finally my sister-in-law sent me a text with a photo of a handwritten copy of the recipe…

yay, made it and enjoyed it with dinner… lots of memories…

today I learned that if you put the word supper in the title of an appointment in the Google calendar, this is what it shows…

but, if you put dinner in it, you get a cute little picture;-)…

clearly Google doesn’t know that supper and dinner mean the same thing to me, lol…

always enjoy learning new things, particularly concerning technology;-)…

had a quiet day yesterday… spent time taking photos of ornaments on the tree and the orchids…

a friend dropped off the fixings for turkey dinner which I warmed up at supper time… it was a lovely treat and made for a relaxed and enjoyable meal… ended the day with hot lemonade in my new mug and gifted shortbread…

just another reminder of how blessed I truly am…
