Great apron, Mike!

I like your apron Mike nice photo!

My neighbor brought me smoked chicken, creamed corn, collards , cornbread with jalapenos and smoked brisket, that'll be my supper for several days.

I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day, mines been gone 28 years and I still miss her.

My last project on Monday was Asparagus, Scallion, and Goat Cheese Quiche, since I was able to buy more nice asparagus at Saturday's farmers market. However, as I do not make quiche that often, I forgot that it needs to rest after baking for 1 ½ to 2 hours before slicing, so my plan to have a slice for dinner turned into having chicken sandwiches on some of the buns I baked yesterday with microwaved fresh broccoli, which was what my husband, who does not like asparagus was having.

We had some more of the chicken salad on croissants. Margarine on one side and cream cheese on the other was really good.

I made meatballs last night. I had rotini with meatballs, green beans with mushrooms.

My son sent me the apron (and Diane a T-shirt) as a way of letting us know our granddaughter's college choice.

I had a BBQ brisket sandwich and corn on the cob.

I made chicken broth on Tuesday from chicken bones that had collected in the freezer.

For dinner, I made vegetable, chicken, and farro stir-fry. We went to a town hall meeting for our congressional district at 6 p.m., so I prepped the vegetables before we left by cutting up the carrots, celery, red bell pepper, green onion, and mushrooms. I washed the Bok Choy but did not slice it until we returned. I also cooked the farro in advance, using some of the broth that I had made, refrigerated it, then microwaved it before adding it to the dinner. Scott cut up the rest of the roasted chicken breast while I sauteed the vegetables. We had dinner on the table within 20 minutes of getting home.

The Bok Choy and green onions in the stir-fry came from our farmers market. The arrival of more vegetables is a welcome sign of spring.

Tonight I made a Caesar Kale Salad with some blackened salmon from work. I made croutons from the last two pieces of Will's sourdough in the freezer. I guess it's time to feed the starter 😁

Tonight I had spaghetti and meatballs, green beans and a small salad.

We had Hellman's chicken recipe which I marinated in Italian dressing. I topped it with mango peach salsa which really went well with it. I also found that you can reheat chicken in an 190 degree oven for 15 minutes or so and it does not dry out.

I had chicken salad and I made a cucumber and tomato salad with oil , vinegar and salt and pepper with garlic powder and onion powder.I want to share a picture of eggs I got from my sister in law, so big I couldn't shut the carton, I weighed two of them and they were 3.2 ounces and 3.3ounces. I haven't cracked them yet to see if they're double yolked yet.Look at this egg.

What a lovely egg! The ones I get from our farmers market vary in size, so I usually use the small ones for cooking and save the larger ones for baking. Now that I have had fresh eggs, I am never going back to the ones in the store.

For dinner, we had more of the vegetable, chicken, and farro stir-fry that I made last night.
