It was an unusually warm day here in WI, almost 80 deg F today. I had a cold salad of diced beets and onions, chickpeas, ac vinegar, pepper and nu-salt. The bee people sent me a tin of see's chocolates for mom's day. I cut them all in half so WE could see what was inside. They don't comply with...

A mom could make a meal of it! Thanks @birthdaygirl. (taxy) For the rest of the year we'll call you the birthday girl.

@pepperhead212 OMG what a perfect mother's day treat! Awesome! Is this also the dinner thread?

Happy Mother's Day! Children are a gift from God. That would be you.

@SGM Chef really nice pictures. Sorry taxi, not mine. I looked last night and didn't see the lights. SGM, what time did you see them? I looked at 10:30 pm last night but didn't see it!

Happy Birthday Taxy! May it be filled with good memories and future adventures. You DID?! Cool! Good idea! I bet mushrooms and zucchini would both be good. I need to remember that for the next time we have large whole mushrooms (instead of the sliced ones). We have done the cauliflower wings...

I had breakfast for dinner, carrot slaw and grain flakes. I hadn't had any beans all day so I had some seasoned tempeh and beets. We're still eating watermelon, yum.

Since about February we've been on an organizing/sorting/throwing away/donating kick. We are limited by volume to throwing out by a big weekly bin. Every wednesday at between 3 and 7 pm, him and I go through some area of the house, boxes or storage, in every room of the house. Once the bin is...

I've made onion slabs, baked battered breaded out of yellow onions. Our long keepers are currently mostly utah yellow (the patterson's were good too) and I'm surprised how well they are lasting STILL in may this year, only a few have sprouted. Since the bee company gets their families bees out...

Today was a weird day for eating. I had beet greens, beet stems, veggie rice, seasoned tempeh, then later, a lot of seedless watermelon. Watermelon is such a nice treat!

I would use it for tenderizing meats (if we ate meats). It would also be handy in the kitchen if someone broke into your house, you have a weapon. (no joke) *newspaper headlines: woman protects family against burgler with meat tenderizer-go you!*

The best time to make fondue is when the children are too little to sit at the table or they are almost grown up. It's a hazard otherwise. https://www.thesisterskitchen.com/fondue/ This recipe page has a coq au vin broth, veggies and meats, 3 dipping sauces. You could pick all his and your...

That's why Starbuck's isn't doing as well, because, just like you said, more people are filling their travel mugs as they head out the door in the morning. The market for travel mugs is big, they are selling pretty well. It might be the most sturdy travel mug or the most fashionable one. Or it...

We tacked some netting over ours after they provided a few meals to chipmunks or squirrels this spring already!

Veggie hamburger w/all the fixings. Then I made 12 veggie burgers for future meals. And 2 qts of carrot/apple/pineapple slaw for breakfasts in the future.
