Hyacinths, DMom’s favorite spring bulb. I remember her whenever I see or smell one!

From the barrenness of the California desert to Oregon... first flower bulb we planted... but we called them after our baby sister..Hi Cynthia

1. Color! Finally some colorful vegetation starts to return.
2. The wildflowers start to grow and bloom.
3. The return of singing birds in the morning.
4. Baby wildlife becomes visible to watch again.

Today's Topic (Sat, 3/21) - 3 things you're grateful for that have some kind of coating

Happy Saturday! (I’m waving, just can’t use an emoji to show it)

I love corn dogs!

#1 - DILLY BARS - I eat ones coated in chocolate. I’ll be having one tonight.

#2 - PEANUT BUTTER BALLS - They are coated in chocolate

#3 - OREO BALLS - They are coated in white chocolate

I really enjoy a good corn dog, one with sweet cornbread!
Chocolate covered strawberries!
Mickey bar!

Good morning to all. As a kid my favorite coating was Magic Shell on ice cream. I also used to enjoy some ice cream bars. Lol, these days, "coating,"=a dash of syrup on pancakes.

Does batter count as coating? If it does, the list is long! I'll start with fried clams, but, as I said, I could go on!

My new, non-stick cookware. We got a glass-topped range a few years ago and I was shocked to discover how warped/not flat my frying pans really were! I love my new cookware. It's a Ninja line, solidly heavy, great non-stick cookware that shouldn't warp!

Petit fours. We order every Christmas from Swiss Colony. They used to be better- EVERYTHING used to taste better before the USA got into using so many additives all the time- but we still order them as they say "Christmas" to DD32... and now to her LittleGuy, too!

Another vote for Mickey bars and non-stick cookware!

Also, those "snowball" cupcakes coated in pink coconut.

Oh, and I didn't do spring yesterday - flowers, more sunlight, and walking outside again.

Snowballs were a secret passion of mine for a long time, especially the pink ones! And YES Mickey Bars. NOTHING tastes like a Mickey Bar in the middle of Magic Kingdom on a hot day, trying to eat it (without getting a headache) before it melts down your arm!

Afternoon all,

I've only ever tried a corn dog once and I wasn't a fan. Admittedly my food tastes have changed since but I'm not keen on hot dog frankfurters in general - is it worth trying again?

1. Anything breaded, battered & fried - I can't really narrow this down, as I love any food that is breaded or battered and then fried afterwards: mozzarella sticks, calamari, fried chicken, halloumi fries, croquettes, arancini, deep fried oreos, funnel cake...

2. Anything coated in chocolate - bit of a chocoholic so another thing I'm struggling to narrow, but there are so many amazing things covered in chocolate: skinny bars, Ferrero Rocher, Maltesers, Crunchies, Guylian seashells, biacuits of any kind.

3. Waterproof clothing - having outerwear with a waterproof coating, especially coats and shoes, is a must over here with the often dire weather.

Like @flyingdumbo127 I am a big fan of Magic Shell. It was like having Dairy Queen or Carvel dipped cones at home. I think I’m even more grateful that I’ve learned how to make my own at home. I just keep a jar of coconut oil handy and pretty much every kind of chip or melting candy can become homemade Magic Shell.

Candy coatings- There’s something about the crisp crunchy texture of Reese’s Pieces and Cadbury Mini Eggs that makes them more satisfying than your average chocolate. I guess that’s why I can also consume them in excess like potato chips.

Nail polish- I’m not one for manicures but I do enjoy doing my own nails and having fun or pretty colors coating my nails.

Ceramic cookware -- I donated all of my other non-stick cookware. Ceramic is far superior.
Chicken nuggets, especially those from Chick-Fil-A
Vanilla ice cream coated in hot fudge sauce
