Good cloudy 39º morning. Had a few sprinkles yesterday, but
not much.
Breakfast yesterday was more of the crumpets and lime curd and a little
cottage cheese with roasted carrots.
I take the ready peeled carrots and toss them with olive oil and garlic
salt, roast in 400º oven for about 20-25 minutes, if they are small.....
If they are the bigger carrots......
cook them longer, depending if you like
still crunchy or soft.
Yesterday was Tucker's Little League Game, but he got sick and
so we didn't go. (He was feeling better in the late afternoon... watching a Harry Potter movie with his dad.)
I met up with Jeannie, Dee, and Kathy at Gtano's
for a Peruvian Margarita (OMGOOOD!!!) ....
and wine....
Juan Carlos made us some guacamolé. Awesomely good!!!!
Gtano's - 218 SW G St, Grants Pass, OR.
On my way there I saw this sign....
LOL.... for you Tucker!!!
And on 6th & G Streets there is this building.
Have no idea why all these California city names are all over the windows!
... and even "Maxwell" is on there!
When I was getting my hair cut Leah told me about this dish
she made and it was awesome... She loved it and so did her Jordan.. in fact he ate almost all of the casserole!
Loaded
Cauliflower:
1 lg head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces, about 6
cups
6-8 strips of bacon cooked, crumbled (cook in 400º oven for 20
minutes) or use Costco crumbled bacon
6 T chopped chives
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups Colby Jack or Cheddar cheese
8oz container sliced mushrooms
Also, Leah added garlic and onions to the cooking bacon.. or sauté them
separately and then added paprika, pepper, and Siracha to the sour
cream/mayo.
Preheat oven to 425º
In large pot of boiling water cook cauliflower 8-10 minutes,
drain and cool.
In large bowl combine sour cream and mayo, half of crumbled

April 26th
National Pretzel Day
National
Pretzel Day celebrates pretzels of all shapes and sizes.
How
do you like your pretzel? Thick or thin? Straight or twisted? Crisp and crunchy,
or soft? Salted, unsalted, mustard flavored, perhaps? There's no shortage of
types of pretzels. If you are having trouble deciding which ones, we suggest you
mix a bunch of different types of pretzels in a big bowl, and grab a handful, or
two, or three, or.....
Did
you know? Pretzels are believed to
be the world's oldest snack. Pretzels date back to 610AD in Southern France.
Monks baked thin strips of dough into the shape of a child's arms folded in
prayer. Add a little salt, and Voila! ...the pretzel industry was born.
