Pizza is baked. I'm connected to the Zoom site and just going to wait for the meeting to open. Thanks Mike and Aaron for getting this organized and set up for us! See you all shortly.
Brats for dinner, on the deck, under a tornado watch - almost unheard of in Vermont.
Ooops -- just seeing that is Central Time! OK. Glad I saw that.
BLTs with organic greenhouse tomatoes; not the same as August tomatoes, for sure. Our farmers' market opens this Saturday - masks mandatory and don't handle the produce! Wind is 10+ mph, and going down to mid 20s overnight, so a freeze warning. Tomorrow I plant lettuce and spinach seeds outside.
I made a raspberry swirl coffeecake with cinnamon streusel topping.
We had penne with meat sauce and a green salad.
We've got snow!! About 1/4", with flurries to continue all morning. I never plant tomatoes, peppers, etc until Memorial Day. This year, I've put off buying any starts until after Mother's Day, because nurseries/garden center will be swamped until then. In this area, we are allowed to order plants online/phone, and are given an appointment time for drive-through pick up. You can also make an appointment at some greenhouses for a half hour in the greenhouse, one person at a time. I'll try to to schedule both of those for the same time.
Mike, you will not regret growing year-round under lights. We eat a lot of green salads, so we do have to supplement with store bought greens too. I have a large Aerogarden that I grow herbs in, and a baker's rack with Gro-lights attached for each shelf, which I use for lettuces.
We had salmon with pasta and broccoli.
I've been spending some time recently cleaning out my study, and have several piles of recipes I've collected but not tried. I'm finding many that I clipped from KAF catalogues, and discovering I'm still interested. Sometimes I find the recipe posted on the KAF website, but most are so old they have been cleaned off the site. I have two right beside me now that I found a week ago, and I'm planning to type into my computerized recipe stash: Greek-Style Spinach-Cheese Pie and Spinach and Red Pepper Quiche. These two might come in handy if supplies of pork, chicken, beef dwindle - as long as we can get eggs, which have been missing from the shelves from time to time.
Dinner tonight was meatloaf, baked potatoes, and maple candied carrots.

Grilled chicken thighs, potatoes roasted on the grill, broccoli, and Birdseed Butterflake Rolls for dinner tonight.
That time is good for me, and either Friday or Saturday works.

BakerAunt, I was so disappointed a few weeks ago when I had used up the rest of my cornmeal and it was on my grocery list. The only cornmeal in the store was Quaker brand. I always buy my cornmeal at that store (a large, but Eastern chain) and it comes in a bag, from a small mill, and is much better tasting (and better price) than all the other cornmeal choices. The best cornmeal I ever had was from a mill northwest of Chicago, when my son's 2nd grade class had gone on a field trip to the mill, and each students was given a bag of freshly ground cornmeal. It was wonderful.
Fajitas and cilantro-lime rice.
