Sarris chocolate—a local place. I’ve never had better chocolate. I especially like their chocolate covered pretzels and their milk chocolate hard cap for ice cream. Carmel anything—love that flavor. Latte with regular syrup instead of my usual sugar free.

Last night was pork carnitas with all the toppings and corn. Tonight was pasta, meatballs and Cesar salad.

Thank you! Sounds delicious. Not sure why he doesn’t fillet rainbow trout. He cleans them and the head is off, but the skin is still on and the bones. When he catches anything else he fillets them. We have eaten all the krappie fillets and I have 1 bag of perch fillets and probably 20 bags...

I don’t think it’s the same thing, but my high school cafeteria served taco pizza 35+ years ago. It was my favorite lunch. The found beef was spicy and the crust was thin and almost crispy. Very little sauce but I think it was more like pizza sauce than salsa. The cheese was either cheddar...

Not a Star Wars fan, but know enough to remember there was a Return of the Jedi so I will do Jedi J—oldest DD has a J name E—evening is my favorite time of day D—daughters and dad I—ice—necessary for iced tea

Moved middle DD out of her dorm yesterday. She wasn’t done with her day until 5 pm and we had to load up and then drive 3 hours after that. Got a family meal of chicken tenders on the way home. Didn’t eat until almost 10 pm. Probably leftovers tonight.

I loved spin art as a kid. Our local amusement park always had a stand doing it. My kids had the “at home” version and it worked really well.

I can eat tomatoes just fine, but get small, itchy welts on my arms when I am handling the vines—mostly when staking them. They don’t last long and it’s something I do only a few times a season so I just put up with it.

Mostly snacking and those are what I grow as well.

Thank you. That sounds like something I would enjoy, not sure about my husband. His mom fried everything and his taste buds still like that

It was just okay. The skin and most bones pulled off/out easily once cooked, but there were still some smaller bones left. I was not crazy about the soy sauce based marinade I made. I did it because I thought he would like it. He kept saying how great it smelled, but the taste was just okay...

DH caught some rainbow trout in the local lake last week and we weren’t going to eat them right away so we froze them. Thawing now. I’ve never cooked them before and DH tells me he hated how his mom prepared them. We ate a lot of fish growing up, but my mom only made ocean fish, never lake...

1. May means getting ready for summer—cleaning off the deck and patios and cleaning the outside furniture; planting flowers, herbs and tomato plants. 2. Middle DD comes home for the summer tomorrow. So excited for her to be home. She has an apartment at school next year and her lease...

I do have a May birthday and share it with my nephew.

1. My neighbor takes care of my dog when we travel on weekends for DD’s sport. She’s 22 now with a good job, but she still does it even though she probably doesn’t need the money anymore. I do try to pay well because I appreciate that she’s still willing to do it and my dog has always known...

We’re doing hot sausage in the crock pot. I will sauté some peppers and onions as my side. DH will insist on his being on a bun. I probably need a side for him and DD—probably some sort of frozen potatoes (tots or fries) or noodles. Neither of them like peppers and onions.

I said 50/50. I do have a trifle recipe that calls for cool whip so I buy it at Christmas for that. Everyone loves that dessert. Actually my daughter just asked me to make it for a brunch she is going to this weekend so I need to get some. As for topping other desserts/hot chocolate/lattes...

1. Peony bushes—about to bloom. 2. Lilac bush—blooming now 3. Irises—still coming up, but starting to see flower buds.

I buy a lot of clothes on Amazon, mostly for myself but occasionally for other family members. I am currently shopping for dresses for a family wedding. I have 1 dress that I will wear to either the wedding or the rehearsal dinner. It came last week. I returned 7 others to Whole Foods on...
