Well, I think they were red bell peppers....but still, they are in the same family and I know you 🤣

Still having a major sushi craving which will not be sated any time soon. While rummaging through the freezer I saw I had some Krab sticks and decided to make a California Roll rice bowl of sorts. I made sushi rice and topped it with Krab, pickled radish, avocado, Quirky Fuirky and a mix of mayo and Sriracha. It worked.

We knew it wasn't your cooking--there are bell peppers in there! ;) @pattiI think that's the best bread pudding I've ever seen. Ronnie's greenhouse cherry tomatoes are really doing well--thank goodness because it's been still to wet to plant our garden tomatoes! We've never been this late and it's supposed to rain all this week too. I think they will be ok, though, just a little later than normal. So, all the cherry tomatoes you see are all Ronnie's --so sweet and good. Pasta salad --our asparagus is really loving all the rain--with turkey sandwiches Chicken strips Scallops with pasta and green beans with tomatoes Chicken quesadillas Peony's are great this year too--this was yesterdays pick. First radishes from the garden too. Asparagus, ham, havarti cheese, dijon mustard rolled up in crescent roll dough and rice pilaf. Hollandaise on top.

Yeah, I'd think that the powers that be could plan a special meal of some sort for them to look forward to. Maybe have people submit ideas and narrow down to the top three meals that people are craving and then have a vote. Eating a cold can of soup at the end of a long hard day would be disheartening for anyone

Sausage and pepperoni and a salad Ronnie went fishing at a lake for the first time this spring. Came home with some bass and drum. Shishito peppers, Mac and cheese and collard greens from the garden to go with. I had just enough red weapons in the fridge to make Vivian Howard's Where's My Medal Grits and Chicken--I know, you'd think they would have gone bad, but they weren't. Topped with Herbdacious and asparagus from the garden on the side.

Misfits They have changed their ordering process. Instead of picking like six items from group one, six items from group two and then two from group three, you are able to choose from all that they have and each item is separately priced --much like Imperfect Foods. I have to hit a minimum of $30 and, of course, you can go higher.

I want to live with you. My cajun step father is drooling over this :)

They are late! Usually are blooming or even almost done blooming by Mother's Day. Probably have some within a week. Thanks for asking

I am so sorry @liuzhou. I loved following along with you during your trip. I'm so glad you got to go. Big hugs from me.

Imperfect The American Single cheese is awful. Not their fault. It tastes like wax. Chum and Scout will enjoy it lol.

Hot wings, shishitos, asparagus Garden is making lots of the above. Ronnie has been after to me to make chicken gizzards. Fried and then pressure cooked for an hour. The usual suspects on the side. After another very rough bout at the dentist yesterday I needed something slightly soft to eat. French dip sandwiches fit the bill. Onions I had in the freezer from Vivian Howard's latest book so that made it very easy which is good because I needed lots of wine last night lol.

I think maybe you should test with just a pot of water just in case the SV machine is malfunctioning somehow.....

Beer---made from wheat--wheat toast--brings me back to beer. It's the same as toast. 😇

Why not satisfied. Looks delicious!!

What pray tell is this

OMG YES. I CONSTANTLY get this when I haven't touched a THING on his desk etc. My blood pressure shoots and spouts from the top of my head. I've learned to act like I didn't hear him and feign having to go to the bathroom.

I use a lot of 'em. Kicks up a salad nicely.

This post is entirely @JoNorvelleWalker's fault. She posted about Supermarket Italy a few days ago and I spent far too much time looking around. I've been wanting to get some Anelli pasta for long time. I don't know quite what I'm going to do with it, but I love the shape. Maybe an adult version of Spaghetti O's.......

Friday-Kentucky Oaks Day was pizza night. Pepperoni and ham with olives and mushrooms. Salad to go with. Derby Day! Venison burgers on the grill. Threw on some hotdogs for lunches later. Awful corn. Fries. Lettuce from the garden. And Derby-ish Pie (so I don't get in trouble from the inventors of the pie I renamed it lol)

@kaybI'm coming over and getting in your fridge. The suspense is killing me.

Thank you for taking us along again!!!! Safe travels today and just think! Soon you'll be sleeping in your bed at home! Seeing Marco Polo outside makes me marvel, too. My cats would be off like a shot never to be seen again. Not to mention that I'd be a nervous wreck!

Oh I had no idea. I'm sorry!

I didn't know I couldn't post my pie.

Happy Derby Day!!!! LOL, I never thought about omitting the mint......... I still don't know what I'm going to make besides the eggs. There is so much time between races that it leaves me with lots of time to putter around the kitchen. @chileheadmikeGlad the weather is perfect. Yes...many a derby are in the slop.

That's a good question. When I make it with fish, I only marinate the fish in the lime juice and then drain and then mix in the other ingredients. Same with the squid. No rinsing, though, so I guess it still does have the ability to "cook" more, but when I ate the leftover squid the next day I didn't notice that it was any tougher.
