Going back and reviewing my list of things to do for fun, I have not been able to cross anything off since last I updated. That is not to say I have not enjoyed the past month, it has just been on the quiet side. I have been cooking a lot, which is always fun for me. I came up with a salmon dip recipe that I really enjoyed and so did Lois, who I like to share my cooking with. I had found a recipe on the back of a box of crackers that sounded really good. But, not paying attention, I forgot to cut the recipe out before I recycled the box. So, what I did was look up recipes for salmon dip and pulled from different ones to create one that I thought sounded good. This is not my normal way of approaching a recipe, but I was determined to trust my instincts. The dip turned out really well and I will share with you all at a later date. I also tried a new green bean recipe. It's actually a casserole, which I always enjoy, but it's simply called creamy green beans. This is another keeper that I will share with you soon.
I hosted our traditional Easter dinner last Sunday. We had a great meal and a great time. I do love setting my table and getting everything ready. I love using my things, which you know. My goal is to create a table that is both inviting and comfortable. I believe I achieve that. It was me, Lois, her sister Ruth, our friend Kathy and my roommate Jason. The food was good and we had a great conversation throughout the meal. I loved the company and it's always good to see my friends. And no one was sitting at the table staring down at their phone which was even better. The only time a phone came out was after dinner when Jason was showing pics of his home renovation. It was a good time.
I went to see Dad and June back in March. We always have a good visit, and I hope to go back soon. I try to take them some food each time I go. Some for the fridge and some for the freezer. June does not cook like she used to, which is just fine. They have groceries and get Meals on Wheels several times a week. While they appreciate that, those meals are pretty devoid of flavor. Working with many people on special diets, I totally get why that is. So, I want them to have some good homemade meals ready whenever they want some. I know they appreciate it and it makes me feel good to contribute somehow to their lives. They are very special people.
This will be a weekend of domestic bliss. Grocery shopping is done. Laundry is going. It's my version of fun LOL
