Happy President’s Day, Cooking : Monday Blog Post

Newest News:

Happy President’s Day. The holiday kind of caught me by surprise. We went to breakfast Saturday morning and the town traffic was heavier than usual. I couldn’t understand why till I happened to check the calendar. So. Hope you are having a great three day weekend and staying safe, as well.

Anyone reading this also on Facebook? Sometimes a meme comes through that just sticks with me. A few weeks ago was one that read: Hardest thing about adulting? Deciding what to make for dinner every night for the rest of your life. I so understand that. I didn’t when I was younger. I loved buying cookbooks, trying new recipes—now, if I can’t make it from memory or requires more than one pan, I’m out. So for those of you still enthusiastic about dinner, yay! For me, I’m still struggling along.

The weather here has been getting warmer. The rose bushes and fruit trees are starting to bud. That means I’m late at pruning. So to all of you gardeners out there, time to prune!
