Thank you all for the kind comments --I am so far behind in posting and commenting. And to answer Vee's thought; my mil might have to move with us. Courts are still closed or backlogged here due to the pandemic. Hence the hesitance about moving or where to move here...the court might not allow it since we have guardianship etc. Reality sucks. If that is the case, we will have to find a mil's quarters...and we are looking into combining income etc. It's a mess.
Welcome to Tuesday 4 which we keep going in memory of our dear friend Toni Taddeo.
1. What is the most valuable kitchen utensil you have or one you use often and could not live without?
hmmm...probably the spatula.
2. Do you have any fancy gadgets like air fryers, etc in your kitchen? How are they working out for you?
 |
| supposedly hidden from view prior to Christmas, lol. |
No air fryer. But I do have a stand mixer and a hand blender and a Magic Bullet. All work great.
3. Do you have any step or labor saving ideas that make cooking and meal preparation easier?
I clean as I go. It makes it so much easier.
4. What is your favorite recipe of all time? Would you share it with us?
My moms Chocolate Eclair
Graham crackers
Vanilla pudding
Whip Cream
Homemade Choc. Frosting
and I am not allowed to share it either...sorry. It's been in the family for ages. There are plenty of recipes out there, but none come close to my mom's recipe.
1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on St. Patrick's Day.
 |
| Last years celebration at the Elks. Sorry, no celebrations this year per Cuomo's orders. |
Will you wear green?
Yes. I have a green sweater and green nail polish on my nails.
Eat corned beef and cabbage?
Yes, already in the oven.
Drink green beer?
Have you ever been to Ireland? Is it on your travel 'bucket list'?
On my bucket list...but will never go because of the vaccine order to which I am not getting. My husbands family is from there and Scotland.
2. Something you think is 'worth its weight in gold'?
Family and Friends
3. Something that makes you 'green around the gills'?
Because I like keeping it real; Current Government
4. What puts a 'spring in your step' these days?
A paycheck
5. Write a limerick using one of the following as your theme....March, St. Patrick's Day, Covid, 2020 and/or 2021, the color green, or life lately. Yes, you can do it.
Green...is the color of spring
Green...is the color of a crayon
Green...is envy
Green is like a shiny new emerald
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I am behind too Linda. Things tend to get away from me lately.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in on Tuesday 4. The eclairs sound good.. I suppose their are recipes online for it. I cant eat them anyway.. too much sugar.
I'm RFLMAO at your men-folk's 'hiding place'! I've been thinking about getting one of those Magic Bullets. You like? I've never developed a taste for beer, but love the tradition. Enjoy one for me, okay? AFTER you've been to the DMV, that is. (heh-heh).
ReplyDeleteSo sorry things are so bad where you live. I heard the "King" was in trouble. Maybe if they take care of that it will take care of the rest.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day (in a non-celebratory way) to you too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Facebook jail sympathy. May not ever return but will keep the account. I'm tired of dealing with Nazi Brown Shirts and their perverted notions of life.
ReplyDeleteSteve and I have one of those DL's that's good for 10 years and they were done recently. I'm glad we got to renew them before the head cold hysteria. 'Course, here in Gawga and most of the Southeast, we're pretty much back to normal with a smattering of fraidy cats thrown in for good measure (makes one appreciate being sane) but we ignore them. There are germaphobes everywhere. *grin*
I like paychecks too. That's such a good feeling.
Don't work too hard!
Love & Prayers xx
Happy St. Paddy's Day! No corned beef/cabbage here. My tummy has been a bit "off' lately and that combo just doesn't seem like a good thing for me right now. Oh my! If you have to take the MIL with you when you move...does she live alone? I was thinking there was someone else with her at home? Praying it all comes together exactly right at the right time. Enjoy your day today.
ReplyDeleteSure wish you could get out of that NY prison you are stuck in!! Sometimes there is just too much to deal with. One day at a time, Sweet Jesus!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day, Linda! We had corned beef sandwiches for dinner tonight. Hope your outing to the DMV went smoothly.
ReplyDeleteWe are not big celebrators of St Patrick's - but it's fun anyway. Just not something either of us grew up with. I would love to visit Ireland though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess this move is for you guys. Nothing seems to be easy...
So much on people's hearts and minds. I'm praying for truth to be revealed. Your Corned Beef sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, that cake sounds yummy! Hubby cooked a great dinner for us with grilled lamb, cabbage, potatoes and broccoli. We don't go out to celebrate. I like your wreath. I have started decorating for spring/Easter. I want to make a wreath for my front door. I hope it works out for you and your MIL. Enjoy the rest of your week!
ReplyDeleteI've made a chocolate eclair that uses all those ingredients that is really good and a hit every time I bring it somewhere! Stay well my friend!
