• Spring sproings

    From Joy Beeson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 8 10:31:45 2021

    Yesterday I dashed out for chicken makhani, dug my yellow do-rag out
    of winter storage, wondered where my summer cycling gloves were (I'm
    pretty sure they are in the bag of things-to-darn I keep in case of
    unexpected dash to a waiting room), wore only one jersey, and
    regretted wearing my thickest pair of tights.

    There was only one day of sheer linen scarf between fuzzy cotton-linen
    scarf and linen do-rag. But I haven't put either scarf away yet.

    This morning, when I put a recently-emptied egg carton into the bag
    that I'll take to the Farmer's Market in May, a bag hanging on the
    shoe hook caught my eye. What bright yellow thing did I put into a
    plastic bag?

    Turned out to be the mittens, lambswool scarf, and nylon overjersey I
    carried in case the weather got colder. Never wore the mittens even
    once, to my great relief -- they make it very hard to get my
    handkerchief out of my pocket. I was packing for a shopping trip or
    some-such, wanted the space, forgot removing the winter clothes from
    the pannier and temporarily hanging them on the hook. The mittens and
    scarf are now put away for the summer. I considered putting the
    overjersey on a hanger and the hangar on a hook, but reflected that I
    never start out in the rain, but when the weather is a bit warmer I'll
    start out when there's a chance I'll get caught in the rain, so I'll
    leave it folded up and bagged to carry in a pannier.

    Come July I'll start *hoping* I get caught in the rain, and leave the overjersey at home.

    Daffodils, narcissus, and hyacinth are in full show. I should weed
    the garden, but I'll stay inside and sew -- if there is any time left
    after I stop playing with the computer.

    Yesterday I dashed out for chicken makhani,

    I do not think I will ever enjoy chicken but since I was not sure what makhani is, I had to look it up. Turns out I actually made it last week. The recipe said it was vegan butter chicken.

    Not a vegetarian. Just hate chicken

    When i moved back here i had ordered some lx but i could not find cream cheese and bagels at aldis

    They had them at a later time but apparently had a sale and sold out

    So i bought some whole wheat and mayo
    Got to say i have taken a liking to this more than cream cheese

    I made a few recipes with cream cheese last month that were really good
    I could not remember what if i tried but it was good each time

    Maybe one was creamed spinach and one was mac n cheese maybe a tomato bisque

    It adds creaminess but not a specific flavor

    But do not come near me with a dessert made with cream cheese, the flavor in dessert is too prominent. will not eat

    It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear. And from our shores, we — you know, it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We'll see what happens. Nobody really knows.
