Oh definitely try the Muffuletta cheesecake. It really is a keeper recipe. I just ordered this cookbook from Amazon and it's supposed to be here tomorrow--maybe the quickness is due to the hugs Amazon warehouse that was built and is like 30 minutes from our house. I've been getting things a LOT faster than I used to. Anyway, I'm excited!!! A bit off topic, I also have the dessert cookbook that Janet wrote that I have GOT to dive into...life keeps getting in the way...but SOON I promise. Does anyone else have it? We should make a separate topic if so.

You're absolutely killing me. KILLING ME. Sushi looks so fresh and good. And those dishes. I NEED THOSE DISHES. Ditto on the killing me Tritto (thrice of the ditto) especially the hollandaise one. And no. No one can remake The Goonies. Nope nope nope. Once again I've been feeling meh. So super windy that I can't get into the garden to plant...well, I could but the seeds would end up in either Oklahoma or Nebraska depending on the hour of the day. A big pretty salad to cheer me up along with spaghetti, bread , sauce and some new to us sweet Italian sausage that we LOVED. It's Longhini brand that I ordered from Misfits. Really good. Sandwiches and Arby's fries that I bought frozen at the store...not as good as getting them from the restaurant, but a fun change from the usual. Veggie quiche that turned out really good--I needed to use up a lot of things including a baked potato that I grated up in there. And hash browns....bacon that needed to be cooked and sausages Yesterday the asparagus sprung up and the lilacs sprung out! Asparagus salad and spinach/canadian bacon/pepperoni calzones With pretty flowers on the table that smell heavenly

Nah, that was just me.

Yeah....the wind is something else here isn't it???? I mean, it's Kansas, so it's always windy, but not THIS windy and for so long. Last night I couldn't sleep the wind was so strong I thought the house was going to blow over.

It's getting close to the most wonderful day of the year again!!! I'm leaning towards making Hot Brown's this year for the first time--if I can get my hands on a turkey breast. If not, I wonder if it's sacrilege to use chicken?

When you say good tea, do you mean tea that tastes good, or "fancy" type teas?--not to say that this can't be both lol. I've hated hot tea my whole life. HATED IT. Somewhere I heard the most apt description ever "Tea tastes like a hot, wet brown paper bag" . But, I've lately wanted something hot to drink in the mornings and the caffeine in coffee makes me feel icky sometimes so I turned to tea. I actually like the fruit flavored Celestial Seasonings a lot. Favorite is tied between Blueberry and Mandarin Orange Spice. But, also enjoy the Lemon Zinger..and the others listed are drinkable too. I use two bags per mug and the largest setting on my Keurig coffee maker. Disregard this post if you're looking for more high-brow suggestions 😁

The rest of Easter here

@gfwebThat bacon in the eggs looks wonderful. I need to remember to do that. @JoNorvelleWalkerYum on the pasta dish. Venison cheeseburger pizza, peppers and mushrooms The usual broccoli salad and (very) hot wings to go along with the first USFL games And then Easter Prime rib done at 220F until 125F in the center and then rested for a while. After that put under the broiler for a tiny bit Crab puffs Not quite @weinoo's spargel, but inspired by a bit......I've had this canned asparagus (I know, I know, but I like it) from Spain forever and thought it sounded good. Especially since I only had those two sprigs of asparagus ready from my garden. Broccoli with cheese sauce (Ronnie had a baked potato, too, to put that on) This wine to go with Anyone that knows me around here knows that I am perfectly happy--even prefer--my Franzia boxed wine . I know NOTHING about wine. But this was good. Dry...but fruity. Fruit salad Boughten raspberry pie that is to die for.

Looks really good. I'm now wanting ham....need to buy a smaller one for us. And, yeah, those beans are the bomb.

I've learned to have some sort of bib or napkin while I'm reading about your trip to mop up my drool. That tartare..oh my. I sneak slivers of raw venison and steak all the time (no lectures please lol) so I know I'd love that...never had it. And...it's Easter. One must have deviled eggs for Easter. It's a southern thing here in the states, maybe, but it's a must at my house now and all when I was growing up and Grammy and Mom made Easter dinner.

Happy Easter!!! The cooking has commenced. I'll post more later

I have been craving sloppy joes for like 7 years. YUM.

Wow. Just wow.

I loved the Lion's head mushrooms. Got some more. I did them very simply--dry fried for a bit then added a tiny amount of olive oil, salt and pepper. The package under the cucumber had dog treats--they were in the penny section. Dogs loved 'em.

Years ago a Bonefish Grill came to the big city and I've always wanted to try it. Never have. And now that I'm even more of a hermit, I prolly never will lol. That dip looks delicious @Kim Shook I have been craving mushroom Swiss burgers. So, made some out of venison. They were good...but not like I was wanting. I don't know exactly what was missing. Maybe the ones I remember having had more of a sauce with the mushrooms? I cooked them in butter with Worcestershire sauce..... Got cold again so vegetable soup and ham and cheese toasties Spagetti night Jalapeno brats Had some lemons and berries so lemon posset for dessert (mom's birthday was Sunday so dessert in her honor ) Last night was breakfast. I cooked my eggs in the tomato Brussel sprout pan. Ronnie did his separately.

I also love those blue rimmed glasses etc. I was down to one wine glass left (broke the other trying to load the dishwasher🙄) so I went on an internet hunt to find some more. Found some on Wayfair finally. I'd love to have one of those pitchers, but, like you, I really have no use for it. That margarita looks so good. It's been a loooooong time since I've had one of those. And, I was torn between the Mexican Plate and what you got....I went with the Plate because the enchilada sounded good along with the rellenos. I like to live vicariously through you .

Scrapple!!! @rotuts Loves scrapple!

I'm in. This is all new to me-- I've seen it and even eaten some. I mean @Baron d'Apcher's creations are simply stunning. I won't reach that level 🤣 I have the Charcuterie cookbook by Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn. I'm starting there. I've picked out two recipes. One involves venison that I'll have to find some ingredients for. The other involves seafood and I think I have all of the ingredients here so I'll start with that one. I wish I had some cool shaped molds, but I only have loaf pans.

I'll pay whatever if you can be here in 2 hours and repeat this meal. I'll be the one with my feet up...sipping wine....and drooling.

You will love it I bet. And, the sprinkle of cheese would put it to the next level. I always make spinach like that (minus the cheese) when we have Mac and cheese. Goes well together IMO.

Love red wine vinegar with sprouts. Also good with cooked down fresh spinach.

I forgot bitchy. I'd be real bitchy too 😬

You're getting sympathy from me. I would be dying. And miserable. And dying. And did I say miserable?

Thank you! How fun. Never had them before.
