Len, it's been there a long time - it started out small and just kept growing. We have a lot of snowbirds from the city and northern suburbs and they all seem to go there. When Will was in statuary last year, they would deliver all over the city. It's quite an operation - I got to see it last year when I was there.
So Len, where do you buy your vegetable plants? Just curious - my son works at Gesthemane
I made a sheet pan dinner with Greek Lemon potatoes, green beans tossed in the same marinade and chicken sausage. It was delicious and I have leftovers
Your tart looks beautiful, Kimbob.
Tonight I made a pasta dish that my friend said she and her husband eat on repeat. I'm glad I only made half the recipe as I found it rather bland. That may have been because I used mild Italian sausage instead of spicy, but I'll finish what I made and won't make it again.
Joan, I just checked the wildfire update on First Coast News - it was at 3:20 this afternoon - they got 1.5"of rain which helped a little, but they're still at 64% containment - I gather they are doing things like moving merchantible timber and breaking up berms to create firebreaks. It sounds like it's going to take a while - those poor people.
I had chicken salad and broccoli for dinner
We were so thankful for the rain today, Joan, not only for the drought but for the Brantley wildfire. We have a lot of team members who live in Brantley and the wildfire got close enough to the Glynn County line that there were voluntary and mandatory evacuations near the border. As of today it is 64% contained thankfully.
My friend left on Thursday, so I have my house back, but my physical therapist says I am fine in the house alone, still don't have full use of my right arm but it is improving - I should be able to drive by the end of next week. So I am eating leftovers that my friend made this week and I have easy food in the freezer.
Started rehab yesterday - mostly stretching and isometrics -still have to keep upper arm close to body - of course tired today.
Debby made a recipe from NYT that I had been eyeing - Broccoli White bean Caesar salad - definitely a keeper, but add an additional crow of broccoli - minor adaptations on prep (make dressing in processor instead of in bowl). To make for me, I would halve the recipe except for the broccoli
Will made 3 loaves of sourdough on Sunday, so I have bread in the freezer
BA - I had my 2 week follow up today - the staples were removed and no more sling - I'm supposed to just be carefully using and stretching my right arm - PT starts on Monday. I had stopped the pain meds last Tuesday as I was not in pain - Tylenol is enough - I am still exhausted -as my doc pointed out this morning I did have major surgery! He lifted my right arm to where I could barely reach before the surgery and it didn't hurt the way it did 2 weeks ago - modern medicine is amazing - I can drive when I can reach the top of the steering wheel without pain. Will leaves tomorrow - I will miss him -and my friend Debby arrives for 2 weeks to help with rehab.
BA -how are you feeling?
Glad to know the picaridin works so well BA - I'll have to get some. Will went into the brush yesterday morning and found one on the way out. We double checked him when he got home and we didn't find any more
Happy Easter. We didn't do anything Easter-y today. I'm still in recovery mode and not eating much. Will made me rice, fresh green beans in chicken bone broth which he flavored nicely with a roux. It tasted really good and Will was proud of me for eating it all. Then we split a brownie from the freezer with. Small scoop of Irish crème chocolate coffee icecream
Thank you BA, kimbob and Joan for the birthday and well wishes for the surgery. Kimbob, I did not want to get a recliner just for the surgery, and my doctor said I could just pile up pillows at a 45 degree angle in my bed. I found a large wedge pillow at the company store on sale which will be great for my main support. I have one advantage from being really sick with asthma when I was a kid - I've had to sleep upright a lot so it's not as much of an issue as it is for some people.
I do love a cold meatloaf sandwich too with mayo AND ketchup😊
I had some of the tuna and white bean salad I made on Tuesday. I have just enough of my lunch at work tomorrow.
Today is my birthday and I received lots of birthday wishes at work. Will will be here on Tuesday for two weeks to help while I recuperate from my reverse shoulder arthroplasty next Thursday (long hand for shoulder replacement surgery). He's looking forward to being back in my kitchen and he'll make a joint birthday cake as his birthday is April 11th. I won't be cooking for a while
Hey Mike - it's only the 22nd today😊 and the 27th is Friday (the day after my birthday) - I have no idea what I'm making then.
Today, I made Len's Whole Wheat Rye Semolina Breadwith BA's variation of buttermilk and then I subbed maple syrup for the honey and used White Whole wheat. I followed BA's instructions for shaping and proofed it enough. Theyvrose in the oven and look great - will slice tomorrow
