Fingers Crossed Weekend Recap
Good Monday to you fine party people! I hope you got to enjoy the mid-May weekend. We kind of did. What was not in the brochure was a nice power outage Friday at lunchtime just as the Mr was trying to cook his egg in the microwave. While he hooked up the Bluetti's to the fridge and crockpot (kicking myself for not doing that Thursday), I put his egg on a small cookie sheet and put it over two candles and covered it with another cookie sheet. It might take 3 hours but if you think with the price eggs that we're losing that thing, nope! 😝 Welp, I was finally able to transplant the wee (and not so wee) seedlings to their permanent homes. I was basically forced out there due to the power outage Friday but thankfully it wasn't oppressively hot. I got the clematis' potted up to bigger pots , sweet peas transplanted, my herb pot together and the zinnias and snapdragons in the wall planter. Thankfully the electricity came back on by 4pm so...
TJ's knows how to do the pumpkin flavors for the most part. The one thing that comes to mind in which they did not have a winner was when we tried those pumpkin spice chocolate sea salt caramels - not a good combo of flavors.
ReplyDeleteI like pretty much all things pumpkin and apple. I'll be doing applesauce in the crockpot pretty soon. We like it well enough and eat it, but mostly I make it because the house smells so pretty. You can light all the candles you want, nothing is the same as the smell of actual cooking.
ReplyDeleteDrink up that blackstrap molasses for your joints momma and they will feel good. =o) I LOVE that pumpkin pasta -- too flipping cute! I have to say something that's new on the market that I'm absolutely loving is JIF's Cinnamon Peanut Butter. Holy macaroons does it taste good! I've only seen it in "smooth" and it's just wonderful. The cinnamon really stands out in it and it's just perfect for this time of year. Yum!!
