Sunday & company coming
Having company for supper… yippee! I love having friends over. We’ll have chicken which is marinated and barbequed, roast root vegetables (sweet potatoes and yams), asparagus with Hollandaise, and some other dishes for dinner. For appetizer: SUSHI! We don’t make any sushi with raw fish, however. Ours has pollock or real crab, shredded carrot, asparagus or avocado, sometimes omelet, sesame seeds. NEVER raw fish.
Since it was our friend Sharon’s birthday LAST week, and we were all too busy to celebrate, tonight we’ll have birthday cake and ice cream. I MOSTLY cheated on the cake: bought two “uniced” cake rounds at the grocery store from the bakery section, and then iced and decorated at home. The rounds looked perfect, so if the birthday cake TASTES fine, I think I’m onto something. Somehow doesn’t seem as “bad” as buying a ready-made cake, although I’ve never faulted anyone for THAT either!
While Gary was washing the kitchen floor this morning, I went out and moved a bunch of plants around. I moved perennials OUT of the greenhouse until there was extra space in there, then moved an extra table in, and moved plants back INTO the greenhouse. The freezing nights have really done a number on perennials that SHOULD have looked good in their pots by now. They’ll survive, but the growth keeps freezing down. I’ll still try to take a few to a community yard sale on Mother’s Day, and then have my “big” spring plant sale on May the 13 and 14th. That’s life, though, and gardening in the “north”.
I’ll go back to kitchen duty, and later tonight, check in with the Garden Chat room.
