This morning I retrieved my car from the next street, noticed both my own slots at my house have been illegally claimed by who knows who, and went for the squashogram.
In the waiting room there was this bowl of art, made from paper and other natural materials
On the way home I noticed this
So I pulled in and found
Ah. I was a few minutes early, but worth waiting for the first strawberries. So they opened up and I found this year -- no mention of this on website or in email -- a small container has gone from last year's high of $6 to $8.
Which was more cash than I had available. I'll take another run after I've been to the bank. I rarely use cash but was hoping the $7 I had would work.
Homeward, reparked in the place I used yesterday in the next street, and then Boyz with Toyz II started up.
Eventually leaving me with nice fancy patchwork outside my door
I'm hoping to retrieve my parking spot soon
And lunch called, with no plans. So I made what I call Welsh rarebit, sister Dogonart used to call that thing Liz makes and my Mom used to call just eat it, nevermind.
On pita bread but good on toast, too. Enough for two more lunches.
The drink is the liquid drained from the tomatoes, with lemon juice and a drop of water, very nice too.
I expect this could be a brunch idea with a drop of vodka or gin in the glass, and maybe a stick of celery.
This afternoon I plan to finish and press that second sock to get a package out in the mail tomorrow, with the scarf and the other socks.
Then I'll get on with the knitted parts of the skirt.
Happy day everyone, let's hope all our test results are good. I won't know mine for a day or two.
That looks interesting. I might have to do a Google search when I get home and see if I can make it.
ReplyDeleteHope you can park back close to home soon
I made it up long ago. Just a buttered dish, glass looks nice, tomatoes, sharp cheddar, eggs, salt pepper. 380°f 20 minutes. That's it. Not even a recipe really. Good ingredients count.
DeleteSquashogram! 😆 I need to schedule one. That thing Liz makes actually looks pretty good. I didn't know where you were going with it, you went someplace good.
ReplyDeleteTry it some time. You can make it practically any size depending on how many to feed.
DeleteI love your kitchen creations!
ReplyDeleteThis one's very good, also easy to make.
DeleteNot sure it's a welsh rarebit but it does look good.
ReplyDeleteYou can attach your own name for it, if you make it. Aussie Surprise, or something!

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Switzerland a
Thanks so much for this heads-up
DeleteWe might try it with a few croutons. F does a version that has chili in it.
ReplyDeleteCroutons sound good, noted.
DeleteI hope you get your parking spot back soon, Boud. The parking space roulette is a nuisance.
ReplyDeleteBack to normal now. More or less. It feels better.
DeleteGood luck with your squashogram results!
ReplyDeleteJust checked --sll fine, yay!
DeleteIt's always a good feeling to have gotten that mammogram DONE! I am sorry that you couldn't celebrate with fresh strawberries.
ReplyDeleteHey! Your comment from the other day FINALLY showed up in my spam file this morning. Weird.
I've been getting comments from years ago -- yesterday one from 2013!
DeleteThe strawberries may be one treat, but I doubt if I'll buy enough for jam this year.
I love your make-do "Bloody Mary." That's a good way to use the tomato juice. Eight bucks for a pint of strawberries -- is a "small container" a pint? -- seems a little insane, but on the other hand I don't know how much they are here.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same size container that was $5 two years ago, sigh. I guess everything is more expensive but they can't blame the supply chain -- the field is fifty yards from the farm stand!
DeleteI love the name your Mother had for Welsh Rarebit...somehow a fitting moniker.
ReplyDeleteShe named most of her foods that way!
