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...
Prime rib and shrimp on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day we have a traditional Norwegian meal with homemade meatballs and gravy over homemade mashed potatoes
ReplyDeleteWe always do a ham and sides - basically Thanksgiving but with a ham instead of a turkey. I'd love to get away from that, but my kiddo and my folks seem to really want that meal. Lasagna for Christmas Eve and then ham and all for Christmas Day. We do a sweet roll thing for Christmas morning that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find a lemon cookie recipe right now. I made these amazing cookies last year, used a lemon cake mix, and apparently didn't print the recipe. Ugh. Hate when I do that.
Have an amazing Christmas you two!
For years it would be a beef roast of some sort, either a standard roast or a crown roast with the little shoes. LOL And all the usual sides. One of my favorite appetizers would be the bruschetta that I still make to this day numerous times a year. We used to have breakfast on Christmas Eve but got away from that because of our work schedules. The past couple of years it's been lasagna for Christmas instead just to make things simpler and there have been no complaints. It's the one dish my hubs will eat as leftovers for a few days. lol
ReplyDeleteI think this is only my second post here, the first one being about the gentleman at the graveyard who you helped out.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to wish you and the Mr. a Merry Christmas and a happy new year and to thank you for your daily posts. I enjoy reading them very much.
To answer you question, I will be defrosting the other half on the turkey I cooked for my husband for Thanksgiving (I'm a veggie). I will do your mashed potatoes (had to look it up on Youtube as I mislaid my written copy) roast potatoes, stuffing, broccoli, Yorkshire puddings, gravy, rolls and butter and sticky toffee pudding and custard. (Can you tell I'm English :) ). I was going to make mince pies but I've gained the Covid 20 so I thought I should give them a pass this year.
Happy Love Anniversary. Jo.
I'm sorry, I think I should have said cemetery not graveyard.
