A friend gave me some of her cottage pie that she'd made for St. Pat's. I have an abundance of asparagus and porotta that I got at Costco, so I heated up the pie and cooked a bread. Sauteed some asparagus in a bit of butter and a sprinkle of Penzey's Curry Now and wrapped the asparagus in the bread.

11 hours ago, small h said:
Going to Costco tomorrow! Very excited. Yes, I am very basic.
If you are into Indian breads, I highly recommend the porotta (like paratha) at Costco. I picked up a box last week and it is delicious. This is all that is left of the box so I can't show you the front.

This evening I had:
American Robin
Dark-eyed Junco
Black-capped Chickadee
Northern Cardinal
House Sparrow
I did not stay out long--this quite windy. And dreadfully windy this morning with temps dropping like a rock and snow coming later this afternoon, so I won't be out recording this evening.

If I'm going to have a grilled cheese for supper, it is not going to be an orange plastic slice on Wonder bread.
When my sis was here Saturday, she brought a couple of pieces of a cannoli poke cake she'd made so I had a piece of that for dessert. No pix because I completely mangled it trying to get it on the plate.

Today's fear. I am getting taxes done. Could they make long-term care insurance any more confusing than they have? I am terrified that I am going to owe a gazillion dollars. I am going to wind up in Debtors Prison.
And I plan to cash out my life insurance policy soon (I don't want anyone to have to go through what I have gone through trying to collect my husband's benefit.) and there will be tax issues with that. Plan to discuss with tax person today. I want no penalties/interest this time next year.

Many of you will be horrified. I had not had a fried Spam sandwich in decades, but had a craving and went for it. I've got leftovers.

Season 3 of Reacher. And Boston Celtics games whenever they are on.

Something amiss, but they said no foul play. Carbon monoxide? Gas?

Makes no difference to me. If they have their way, I'll lose my Social Security benefits and be living on the street anyway.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Hold fast to your memories. Many hugs and condolences for you all.

That's the one! I can't recall where I got mine. I was gifted a couple of boxes of cookbooks a few years back, so it may have been a gift.
-
I have a Gullah/Geechee cookbook by Vertamae. Packed up already or I'd show a photo.

Bah humbug. Here we go again. Expecting 4-8 inches today. And frigid temps with deadly wind chills.

Happy Birthday!!

And I thought you were talking about Basia.

I had some things to use up so put Italian sausage, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, olives, soffritto and eggs in a small baking dish. Poured eggs over and sprinkled with cheese. Baked in toaster oven. Still getting the hang of cooking for one.

It has been a while since I've turned on my Merlin Bird ID app. Yesterday was warm enough that I could be outside for more than 5 seconds, so while I was clearing snow and ice on the deck, I turned it on.

The Crock-Pot was invented by an American Jew of Lithuanian heritage to help his relatives with their Shabbat cooking.
In Kansas City, if I'm not mistaken.
EDITED: Not invented here. Invented in Chicago, but launched in KC.

I've heard from several friends who have evacuated and as of yesterday evening were anxious to know if they had a place to return to.
