We've had no sightings of the moon for a couple of days, just rain and clouds, but here's the gen
And yesterday's Misfits box arrived, terrific service, carrier rang the bell, said, wait, too heavy for you, I'll put it inside the door
Look at this tree, disguised as Swiss chard, so beautiful
We're having chicken from the freezer, stuffed with lemon and roasted, scalloped red potatoes, steamed broccoli and carrots, ginger scallion sauce.
Handsome Son provides cheese and crackers to start, tiny chocolate eggs and jelly beans to finish, and soft drinks.
I partly roasted the chicken, microwaved and poached the potato slices in milk,
then the milk became the base for the cheese sauce for the potatoes. Tomorrow the chicken and potatoes will finish cooking in the oven as we eat our cheese and crackers.
Now to lay the table, throwing the cloth over the current puzzle in progress.
And here's the upshot of yesterday's soap making. Once cooled, it foamed nicely when whipped a bit,
so I strained it into a handy container
Your Easter dinner sounds great. Ours is tomorrow too with the family.
ReplyDeleteThis is a mighty fine meal you are preparing. Where else would I learn about laundry soap made from English ivy, I swear! I find it alarming and threatening that these plainly undemocratic actions are taking place across the country. It's worrisome.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that chard- it is a mighty thing. Like my kale is right now.
ReplyDeleteYour dinner sounds delicious and I highly approve of your menu! I just bought the tiniest chicken I think I've ever seen (for sale in the grocery store, at least) and will roast it tomorrow night for Mr. Moon's and my pre-Easter dinner. I joked with the cashier that it looked like a two-serving chicken to me.
What happened in Tennessee is beyond horrible. Why are these people not ashamed?
Enjoy the impending Easter dinner.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Easter feast with your wonderful son.
ReplyDeleteYour Easter dinner prep sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteYou will have a grand Easter dinner.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful chard leaf!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a yummy dinner! That Swiss chard looks great. So fresh.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fab full moon - we could actually see it for a change (clear skies). Hope you had a very happy Easter. Xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely time, even with no moon sightings.
DeleteThe night the moon turned full we had clear skies and it certainly wasn't "pink" - instead it was a brilliant orange and looked more like a fall harvest moon. Wish my camera would play nicely with night photos because it was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can never get great moon pictures, so I just enjoy seeing without recording. I read that pink refers to the mountain pinks that blossom about now, very early spring. But there are several theories. Of course.
DeleteI think dinner at your house looks fabulous! Been glued to the news today -- one reinstated. One to go!
ReplyDeleteSo the bigots raised the profile of two young unknown legislators to national prominence. I think it backfired big time. I'm looking for the other Justin to be reinstated now.
