    slo’s THURSDAY 5/2 poll - Tomatoes 🍅

    Man, I love tomatoes! Campari are my favorite as they are so consistent in taste and quality. But, a hot summer day and cherry tomatoes right off the vine - heaven! We always have grape tomatoes around for snacking and quick salads

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/30 poll - Whipped Cream vs Cool Whip

    I prefer whipped cream, but either will do! My nightly sweet-tooth solve is a big scoop of one of them with a spoonful of PB alongside. Feels like PB ice cream and is super satisfying!

    Why are new homes built mostly McMansions when people want smaller?

    The "McMansions" are selling like hotcakes around here. Just went to the Parade of Homes a few weekends ago - which showcases all the new builds. Oof, I fell in love like 16 times, but most were already sold, or there were only a lot or two left in the development. Most started at 500K, too. And...

    Bone Broth

    I found two soup bones at the back of my freezer yesterday and so, today, I am making my first BEEF bone broth. I have done it a million times with poultry. Cannot wait to stock my freezer with it for quick dinners.

    The Tortured Poet's Department- anyone else listening?

    I have not listened to it - just a casual fan. But, my FB feed is FULL of people raving about how incredible it is! I am glad it lived up to the hype - she is a pretty awesome chick!

    slo’s FRIDAY 4/19 poll - Green Olives vs Black Olives

    One of my most favorite foods! I will eat them any way I can get them - I typically have my Norwegian crispbread with some kind of dairy spread on it and then sliced olives. At least a few times a week this is my brunch.

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    This sounds like something my males would love. Recipe? Last night I threw the rest of the shredded roast/gravy over mashed potatoes, topped with some carrots I roasted on my lunch hour. They had buttered bread with it I had a scoop of potatoes, with the rest of the carrots. And then I had a...

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    I threw a roast in the CP with some tomato paste/beef broth/onion soup/onions/brown gravy and cooked it all day. Threw on grilled sour dough buns with provolone for them. Roasted potato and carrots on the side. I had sweet potato tacos with avocado spread, jalapenos, onions.

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/16 poll - Jelly Donuts

    LOVE them! My kids, their Saturday morning sports league, a local bakery used to provide the snack each weekend - it was always fresh donuts. So good! Jelly filled were fantastic. Since that league ended a few years ago, I don't think I have had a donut since :(

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    We took some burgers and steaks out of the freezer to grill, but I think we will end up getting Pho tonight and save the grill for tomorrow and Sunday when it is supposed to be spectacular outside. Friday night of a long week requires some comfort food.

    Natural Deodorant and my Armpits are on fire!

    I have tried a ton, too, and the only one I have found that doesn't affect me OR make me stink in a few hours is Little Seed Farm. They are a small batch goat farm and I cannot recommend them enough. I get my deodorants, skin care, lotions, etc. from them. The nice thing is, you can go to their...

    What are your go to/favorite foods and drinks to get at a bar, pub, or tavern?

    A bar we used to go to HH at had one that was a PBJ - pb whiskey with cherry bitters and you just sipped it. It was SO good. I am sober now, but my drink of choice was always something with gin. I got introduced to it when I turned 21 by Tanqueray/cranberry drinks. Then I moved on to gin and...

    OJ Simpson Died

    Hm. Not sure how to feel. He was a trash human for the second half of his life, but him being the trash human defined a large chunk of my teen years since everyone was wrapped up in that. I remember listening to the verdict come in, in a basement chemistry lab, with a radio the teacher whipped...

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    I still have like 6lbs of meatballs and sauce, so I am going to use my lunch hour to throw together (another) pasta bake. And then have that with salad. Will freeze the rest of the sauce. The pasta bake will be good leftovers for lunches and late-night snacks for the teen after he gets off at...
