Good morning, friends!
Goodness! It's chilly here again. With all the rain passing through, it brought with it, a cold front...so tired of the cold!
It's been a busy week around here. I ran out of bread so did the quick fix and hauled out the ever faithful, bread machine. I just load it up with all the ingredients, close the lid, and in three hours, we have a wonderful loaf of bread...no fussing back and forth with the proofing. The machine allows me to just walk away. Nice!
Breakfast toasting bread...yummy.
And who is this? Our greatgran, Sloane, being cheeky.
I bought this large stoneware pie plate from the Pioneer Woman collection (10" X 2" and heavy). I was in Walmart minding my own business when, this pie plate just jumped into my buggy! Well! I had no choice but to head to the check-out! lol
And like any good wife...came home and made Larry a pie.
It's quick and has a custardy feel and taste. Wonderful served cold. It's alright served warm but, Wonderful cold!
Hanging my head in shame...at the Walmart, I grabbed up the last two cow sandwich plates! The pie plate made me do it...lolol
I made lunch out of hamburger meat, noodles, Anaheim pepper, parmesan cheese, tomatoes and an English muffin Larry had made last week, warmed and buttered...so good.
Re-planting of lavender in the badly, drought abused, soil next to the patio. Hopefully, it'll take off and grow! It smells Heavenly and just look at the color of it...
I was talking with hubby, Larry, the other day about how I hoped I could find a trellis large enough to let the "Rose Peggy Martin" climb on...Larry then set about disappearing for several hours. I went to look for him out in his workshop and I found him building a pergola for me! Needless to say, I was a happy gardener!! He loves a good woodworking challenge...did I say I knew that? Lolol...anyway, I was surprised and grateful. He's the best...and I love him.
Here's the Rose Peggy Martin (odd name) climber.
And Larry also bought me two White Jasmines for the pergola.
Hopefully, everything will grow like intended! It'll take a little training of the branches...and wire...lol
And...If you use cast iron much, you'll understand this...lol
Hope you all enjoy your week...stay safe and warm or cool, wherever you are.
So, until next time...
