Meatloaf with scalloped potatoes and some buttered corn. I got Birdseye frozen corn and was a shade disappointed. Usually I'll heat some corn in the microwave with some butter and it's always good. This time the corn was chewy and not so good. So maybe stick to Safeway brand?

Happy Birthday Taxlady!!!! Dinner tonight was a diced ham salad with 1000 Island dressing and garlic butter croutons, and some frozen strawberries for dessert. It was too warm to eat anything else.

When I was still living in Bremerton, the nearby Navy base had an active shooter drill and they let off a siren. I hadn't lived in Minnesota for 45 years at that point and I still damn near picked up the mattress to bring it into the bathroom. Old habits die hard. Welp, my yard is seeded and...

By the time I saw your post, the freeze had already gone by. The tomatoes are fine - I think. They're starting to go brown on their leaves going from the inside out. I don't know if it's the frost or if it's an excess of water because of all the rain. At any rate, new leaves are forming, so I'll...

This happened to me on a forum once. A mod went to ban someone via IP address and she took out a bunch of us with the same address.

When I was in California, I had a ton of hobbies. I did dog training and traveled to dog shows, I raised mice and showed them, I "raised" model horses and showed them, in 4 years I made a lovely garden and had to give all the plants away when I moved, I did search and rescue with a dog group...

High 80s, wow! We're supposed to have rain for the next 12 days or so with a break here and there, but it won't get up to 70. I sure miss California when I started my garden in March, harvested in mid-July, replanted, and harvested again in late October. For crying out loud, the sky was crystal...

I very seldom cook for anyone but me. In fact, I can't remember the last time I cooked for anyone else. So I'm a little lax on being super clean, but I make absolutely sure my hands get washed after touching raw hamburger or raw chicken. That's usually when I've gotten home from the store and...

oops. Anyway, I'm not the only one with a pampas plant. There's a few of them along the road into town. What a day. My neighbors came over to help me put up the canopy. But afterward, I had to stick the legs in cinder blocks, tie them down, then pour sand into the blocks to hold the legs. It...

Long day and an early to bed tonight, so I just had some bacon and cheese scrambled eggs with some sausages.

The only tip I have for a microwave is when you decide to toss it, save the plate. You never know when you'll need another plate and even if you don't want to use it someday, you can always sell it on eBay or at a garage sale. I bought the cheapest microwave there is because 1) I'm cheap 2) I...

Where in the store do they sell those? Because I'd really like to have some for some side dishes, too.

If I could make homemade like Stouffer's, I'd eat that but I can't, so Stouffer's it is but only when they're not charging an arm and a leg. I will NOT pay almost $4 for some mac and cheese. We do have Main Street and Bob Evans here and I've never tried them. Maybe I will in the future. There...

And here I just threw my little tomato plants out in the cold. LOL And then I wonder why nothing grows. It's done nothing but rain all day, so apparently the canopy is on hold. I thought I was done growing things. The contractor came over today and started cutting down all the Scotch Broom...

Jeez, Casey, that's the sort of prank that should get you a medal. You need to brag about that one. *starts getting ideas...* Dragnlaw, I bet they weren't. Although I also bet they told everyone else at their station and laughed their heads off about it.
