Last Weekend of April Recap
It's the start of another week. How did that happen? I have been battling with Walmart for two weeks trying to get these ultra cheap pots I need for the clematis and I'll be danged if they don't sell out in minutes before they can even get to my order. I can't go paying top dollar for these things and I have an "oops" coupon for them coming to a close that I need to use. If not, I'll have to poke around the two other stores we have freebies for but I don't think they're as cheap so I can't get as many. Apparently ALL of the gardeners are chompin' at the bit to get stuff planted this year. May I please get my 4 pots and y'all can have the rest? 😝 We have blown through season after season of Alone for like a week and a half. I know we're late to the party but has anyone else watched that? I have to say my brain feels like I could do it to some degree. The things I say they should be doing or thinking about in the beginning...
I'm traveling and didn't have anything too adventurous. I did find a great hamburger joint in Birmingham, though, which will be handy to know next trip. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, that chili sure jumped off the page! Today is cooking day, gotta go to the store! (Although I'll bet I can't find chipotle gouda here, YUM!)
ReplyDeleteYum! I am a happy girl now that asparagus is in season. Stinky pee or not, it's delicious and one of my favorite veggies!
ReplyDeleteI can see why the naan pizza is a favorite of the Mr.'s. It looks fantastic! Last time I looked for naan I couldn't find it, but I'll have another look or maybe get some in a few weeks when I'm up at my folks' house. Where they have stores with actual food instead of pseudo-groceries. I also need to stock up on chicken sausage, coffee, whatever produce is on sale that week, and get some of that better than peanut butter stuff you use.
ReplyDeleteThis week - I was so sick all week I barely ate solid food. I did drink gallons of orange juice though. Hopefully tomorrow's dinner will redeem my woeful week.
LOVE these pictures. You make me so hungry! :D
ReplyDeleteI tried a pasta & asparagus dish yesterday and it did not turn out nearly as well as yours--that alfredo sounds SO good!
ReplyDeleteOn two blogs today I found a spicy basil chicken dish. I'm going to make it tonight adding pea pods, mushrooms and bean sprouts over brown rice. So good! Shrimp with angel hair pasta and asparagus is next. Can't wait to have veggies all around.
ReplyDeleteThe salmon day jumped out at me! :raises hand for more fish nights, too:
ReplyDeleteI wonder what spinach and carrot polenta are? I shall google polenta but will put out a general guess - corn-based?
Googled! it is cornmeal. Do I just mix in spinach and carrots to the basic polenta recipe? (Staring at the first entry - Giada de Laurentil recipe)
Always LOVE your FFJs!!!
Melly- The polenta is in Trader Joe's Frozen Food section. It's a quick fix, 6 minutes in the microwave!
