barbecue, big girl pants, blessed, learning, moments, nature, practice, snow, tasty, weather, widow

I had planned to barbecue steak and lobster for my birthday supper… unfortunately, it was cold and snowy, so I ordered in…

Monday the sun was shining so I went out at noon and barbecued both… even filled a bird feeder while I was waiting for the temperature to get to where I wanted it…

had half of both for my lunch and set the rest aside for a salad…

I am getting much better at barbecuing… clearly practice helps…

tasty…

big girl pants, breakfast, cake, Christmas, Facebook, family, grandsons, hot tub, lonely, memories, missing, snow, tasty, widow

I’ve been a bit lonely over the last week or so… most Christmases my older daughter and her husband have come home… it didn’t work out this year…

was out in the hot tub this morning, first time in ages… a bit later these two pictures came up in my Facebook memories…

the first is deadly chocolate mousse cake, her favourite… I always make sure to have it in the house when she comes… in fact whenever I go to visit her, I take some as well… we always have the cake for breakfast, which the grandsons think is amazing;-)…

the second is of our water boots from last Christmas… she loves the hot tub and our usual pattern is a late night dip before bed…

it was my other son-in-law who suggested water boots many years ago… they work perfectly so that my feet never get cold or snowy…

today I spent some time cooking… turkey and dumplings, and mashed potato and garlic soup…

they both came out pretty tasty, although I am not going to be able to have the potato soup for work lunches because it reeks of garlic, lol…

A&W, beyond, Beyond Meat Burger, big girl pants, tasty, Teen burger, widow

been wanting to try the A&W Beyond Meat burger and finally got around to it recently…

when I first opened it, I was a bit disappointed because it didn’t look at all like the commercials, lol…

once I took it out of the wrapper and turned it around it looked very nice… it tasted like a burger, no tofu or mushroom taste…

although it is about a dollar more than a Teen Burger – my all time favourite from A&W – I would order it again…

glad that I finally had the opportunity to check it out…

big girl pants, box, ChefsPlate, dinner, meal, plate, prepared, tasty, widow

so excited to arrive home and find my ChefsPlate box on the front step…

in it were three 2-person meals…

brought it in, unpacked it and made Hazelnut Crusted Cod with mini potatoes, beets and kale salad for my supper…

the directions were clear and it didn’t take long to make… everything was included except the olive oil, salt and pepper…

very tasty and I have enough for another meal, which will likely be my lunch tomorrow…

looking forward to the next two meals…

this week’s box was just $33… it was half price… the next one will be $66… but I will get 6 meals from it which works out to $11 each… and I am trying things than I wouldn’t usually make… I can also skip weeks or cancel at any time…

the one sad thing is that the ingredients are prepared, packed and distributed from Toronto… had hoped it was being prepared here…

big girl pants, burger, delicious, mushroom, oven, Pinterest, portobello, tasty

just finished my first portobello burger… amazed to say it was delicious…

  
put spinach, grape tomatoes – all that I had (and worked pretty well) – and grainy mustard on an English muffin… 

used a Pinterest recipe where the mushrooms were marinated for thirty minutes in oil, balsamic, garlic, basil and cilantro… baked them for twenty minutes at 400 degrees…

  
had heard many people say how great these burgers tasted but I figured it would just taste like a mushroom…

I will certainly have another…

tasty…

basement, big girl pants, camping, eggplant, flowers, garden, sunshine, tasty

got home before noon after our last night of camping in the basement of my daughter’s new house… no furniture in the place other than our camping chairs and air mattresses… but it was warm, had toilets and running water… pretty darn nice…

when we got up this morning, the rain was going sideways as the wind was blowing like crazy… happy to be inside, lol… the guys ran out to check for basement flooding at one of the houses… they brought home egg mcmuffins for our breakfast… a tasty treat after the last few days of cooking on a campfire and doing endless dishes in a bucket, lol…

I brought in my gear and took a quick look around the garden as it had stopped raining during the drive…

  
this is a picture of the eggplant… when I left on Friday there were three hanging on the plant… apparently something or someone decided they needed them more than I did… hope they enjoyed them…

also picked some tomatoes while I was out there, finally ripening…a few of the Romas had blossom rot so I took the rest off…

  
had a few of them with my supper… tasted good…

it’s been overcast and windy for most of the day, but late this afternoon the sun came streaming through the window into the living room… had to get a photo…
