      Last night we grilled marinated chicken thighs, with smashed potatoes and buttercup squash.

          Yes, the weather sure is a roller coaster this year. It is 28* and going down right now, at 2:00 a.m. Our last average frost date is May 15; I've been keeping records for 36 years now. I usually don't plant anything outside until Memorial Day, but may try a small planter on the deck with lettuce and spinach this week. And for once, I'd love two weeks of rain this year, as we are officially in a drought, but there is no rain beyond "a chance of showers" in the forecast for several weeks.

            We had a stir fry with chicken, on angel hair pasta tonight.

              We had split pea soup from the freezer, and gruyere rolls.

                Baked beans and brown bread is a very old traditional New England meal. It was (and probably still is) the standard Saturday night supper for many. Twenty or thirty years ago, I baked it in empty coffee cans - til that became a no-no. Then we searched out stainless steel cans, for example, kitchen utensil holders. I still have some of those, but no longer make brown bread.

                  This morning I made Lemon Blueberry muffins with lemon streusel.

                    We had grilled steak, roasted potatoes, and broccoli.

                      We had leftover stuffed peppers, gruyere rolls, and green salad.

                        BakerAunt, I will continue making variations on that oatmeal bar theme. My husband loves them. I've decided I will not be trying the flapjack recipe Smitten Kitten posted. It calls for way too much sugar -- I would be sweeter than I like, and it's more sugar than I can eat.

                          I made stuffed peppers for dinner last night. We had just finished eating when we lost power, so we ended up just going to bed, in the dark. Most of our friends and relatives have solar panels on the roof or property, and back up batteries so they never lost power, but we have not invested in any of that yet. We do own two generators, but they are at the sugarhouse now. We ended up with about 2 inches of heavy wet snow, high winds, and lots of limbs down.

                            I made another batch of the Oatmeal Bars, this time using homemade raspberry jam instead of apricot. I also drizzled chocolate over the jam before crumbling the topping over them. The chocolate is Raspberry Liquor Fudge Sauce from Stonewall Kitchen.

                              We grilled kielbase with onions and peppers, and it them on burger buns.

                                Today I made Olive-Gruyere Rolls. I rolled the dough out into a rectangle, spread it with grated Trader Joe's cheddar-gruyere and chopped green olives, then rolled it up (like cinnamon buns). I sliced it into 24 pieces which I put into oil-sprayed muffin tins. These are great with soup or salads.
