@Annie_H I've been meaning to thank you again for the good review of the jarred artichokes from Misfits. They are really good. I hope they have them next week.

You really go all out. I used to be like that. Then, I stopped lol. It's just gorgeous. Could you come over and help me with my house???

Well that's amazing!

It depends on if you're talking spring, mid-summer or September 🤣. Spring I'm anal and meticulous about getting every weed, summer it depends how hot it is and how close a big weed is to a plant, September I'm over it lol. Seriously, we both take our hoes out in the morning and use those. If you do it every day, it's not a lot to keep up with. Buuuuut, skip a few days and you're in trouble. After the tomatoes are all planted we get a huge round bale of straw and spread that--it helps. I know we could lay down newspaper etc. but we don't. We also have a small tiller. It sounds like a chainsaw and the damn carburetor has to be replaced every year it seems like, but it's handy to go up and down rows. Right now it's the hoes and my fingers plucking out weeds that are too close to the onions to hoe safely.

😳 How dare you, sir! 🤣

I'll also say that I do like the fried kind if someone else does it and it's not drowned in sauce that makes it soggy.....or maybe if someone else made them I'd be happy as a clam regardless so that I didn't have to fry and clean up lol.

I don't usually--the battered are a pain lol. AND I end up picking off the breading because I love the pepper by itself with the cheese and enchilada sauce.

I do a bastardized version of cheese stuffed poblanos that I'm sure you've seen. I steam broil them in the CSO for 10 mins on each side. Cool and then peel. Then do a slit and get as many seeds out as I can, but getting out the top ones next to the stem ruin the structure of the pepper and then you can't stuff it. So, yeah, we have seeds and don't eat the very top. I simply stuff with shredded sharp cheddar and top with a bit of enchilada sauce. Ronnie would love it if I included venison burger but I rarely do because I love them as they are and there is plenty of meat in the main dish that I make with them.

I've been pondering on this. You've done a dozen before with success using the racks you linked and since you kept each batch separate, putting them all back into the same egg carton together, it makes it even more perplexing why this happened. The temperature of the eggs was my first thought, but leaving them on the counter longer before putting them in would only make them be more over done. And since since some were raw and some were done correctly in each separate batch that wouldn't be it anyway. Sigh. I just can't figure it out. If it makes you feel any better I've done steamed eggs three times when making breakfast for dinner. The first batch and the last batch were far to done for Ronnie's taste. The middle batch turned out perfect. All done the same way, same time, same amount of eggs.

That looks incredible. Want Want Want.

Look how big these lemons from Misfits are! Like oranges lol. They're called Eureka Lemons.

Do they really?????!!!! I LOVE the goblets (that's what I call them) in the first picture. I haven't been able to find them since I broke ours. I will be purchasing if I can.

Ooooooh I think I've expressed --maybe here--my love for the blue rimmed glass items. I got my first batch at Pier One. Managed to break most of them. Found some on Wayfair a while back (I think it was Wayfair). Anyway, it's a good thing I'm not there because your whole camper would be full of that stuff.

I'd be torn between the chiles rellenos and the huevos rancheros..I love both. Definitely a margarita too.

Have you done that many at the same time before?

I didn't make it, so I'm no help at all with a recipe, but for Thanksgiving I bought Sweet Potato Pecan Praline ice cream. It needed....something....maybe more cinnamon.

Sorry yes, I'm sure your method is super great!

NO But you all know I'm a tomato skin-a-phobe

It's an absolutely gorgeous morning. Everything is blooming. First sprigs of asparagus are up. I finally received my Yukon gold potatoes yesterday so they went in to the ground this morning along with 13 tomato plants that couldn't wait any longer in the green house. They are so big and needed to get in the dirt. I've never planted tomatoes and potatoes on the same day lol. Ronnie's been working hard plowing and fertilizing the garden areas. Onions are looking good. I got them weeded this morning too.

Ohhhhhh what a brilliant idea! Then you can just throw the baggie away and not have to clean the filling holder.

Yes, I poured it in a bowl and we both had some with our chicken. Good stuff.

Our Easter meal

@KennethTIt's a good thing I don't live with you guys...I'd make you stop and get that sushi at least once a day. @Norm MatthewsBeautiful deviled eggs. I have a thingy to make the yolks pretty like that, but I lack the patience. @DuvelLovely Easter weekend meals. Your mom is very talented with the bunny ears! Breakfast for dinner. Not very appetizing looking. Did the eggs in the IP--exactly like I did the last time-- but somehow these were over done sigh. Boudin and hash browns. I'm having a major asparagus craving and all I had was a can of white asparagus. I actually like canned asparagus. It's nothing like the "real" fresh asparagus, but I keep that in mind lol. Heated this up in a skillet and put some fresh parm on top. Ronnie even liked it. Next night...spicy, olive/caper/pasta thing, roasted chicken and livers. Thawed out a chicken and halved it. Shockingly there were several livers in the cavity. Just like the good 'ole days. So I did them up with some caramelized onions, mushrooms and sherry. Really good. I was rummaging around in the basement when I came across our panini maker. It's been a long time since I made those. Cleaned it up and made some bread. Turkey/ham/swiss/mayo mixed with little green dress/mustard/sliced cherry tomatoes. And for Easter I've been terrible and don't have any spring decor or anything up--Christmas got put away and all is still very bare. But, can't have Easter without Grammy's egg holder Roasted mushroom salad Brussels sprouts/bacon/maple syrup Scalloped potatoes SV'd lamb chops Boughten carrot cake banana pudding. I'll make it myself next time...it needed more bananas lol.

Fried Spam and egg sandwich. The dogs shared one half--I forgot how filling Spam is lol.

I'm glad I'm not the only non-rosemary fan, but it does always smell good.
