A peanut butter cookie recipe is a bit less fussy than most, so adding something like the eggs in late usually isn't a problem, unless you've fiddled with the moisture level because it looked too dry.
Got the rest of the tomatoes in, and although the eggplants aren't in yet, I know where I'm putting them. If it cools off this evening I may put them in then otherwise I'll do that in the morning.
The prunes were Diane's idea, as was the cream cheese. The recipe we normally use calls for a can of mandarin oranges, but we were out.
We have managed to keep a rosemary going over the winter about 1 out of every 3 or 4 tries. The one we bought last spring didn't get watered enough around Christmas and died, the previous two both got bad cases of powder mildew and didn't survive, though one of those was in its 3rd winter.
We'll take the now-empty planter outside and put a new rosemary plant in it soon, and try it again.
Putting a fan on it in the winter that runs a few hours every day seems to help prevent the powder mildew, but it means watering it more often. And you have to have a good southern exposure for it or it dies due to lack of light. I've been tempted to try one under my grow lights, maybe I'll see if we can set up two rosemary plants this year.
Supper tonight was chicken salad on croissants (from Sams), using some of the leftover rotisserie chicken from yesterday.
Recipe:
1 chicken breast, diced
1 rib of celery, diced
1 kohlrabi, diced
24 red grapes, quartered
1/2 teaspoon mustard
4 prunes, diced
1/2 cup miracle whip (more or less)
salt and pepper
We tried both margarine and cream cheese on the croissant, both were good, I preferred the margarine, Diane preferred the cream cheese. (They help the chicken salad stick to the croissant, too.)
I found a Chardonnay chicken recipe I will be trying at some point, it uses a white wine cream/mustard sauce using Chardonnay. Good way to use up part of a bottle.
I got 11 tomato cages (out of 24) planted this morning, hope to get the rest this evening after it cools down again. Still have eggplants to go in, haven't decided where yet, plus a dill patch.
I'm never sure if it's the squirrels, rabbits, possums, foxes or raccoons that eat my tomatoes, I think some of the birds poke holes in them, too, looking for bugs? I'm pretty sure it was a rabbit nibbling on my dill last year. I've seen squirrels carrying off tomatoes in their mouth, sometime almost bigger than their head.
we're having a rotisserie chicken for supper tonight
We had leftover spaghetti with some cheese toast made on yesterday's honey wheat bread.
They turned out to be pelicans, a rare sight here.
The American white pelican has been seen with increasing frequency in the Great Lakes area recently.
Here's what I found when I searched for ''bird feeder hook for deck post":
This may not be the only brand of them, I can ask the folks at Wild Bird Habitat in Lincoln about it tomorrow.
We had takeout salads for supper.
I'm making honey wheat bread again today, just came out of the oven.
We both had big salads for supper. I'm trying to get back on the keto diet again, it's challenging
