SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, May 6th

[purrfect-lady]

Good morning,

We're going to 60* today but cloudy. Yesterday was a soaker, which we actually needed. Some of my plants have been a bit wimpy lately. I guess it's time to set our sprinklers up and get them on timers. I see our extended forecast is showing a couple 90* days coming our way!

Yesterday I had a little bit of play time in the sewing room, then shopping, and after that jam making. Cleaning the kitchen, prepping supper, and cleaning kitchen again! But the 3 batches of jam look so nice sitting out on the counter! I think today will be just a few uglies and lots of sewing! Bill will be gone back to the friend's today, hopefully to finish up the last of the gazebo. This turned into a lot bigger job than any of them thought.

CAROL - yum! Homemade tomato soup! I don't think I've ever even tasted real homemade tomato soup. The closest I've ever come to making it is Campbells and I add a can of Italian diced tomatoes and a teaspoon or two of crushed basil. lol! And I believe we just sent our rain to Idaho. You are safe!

BECCA - how strange that three babies born on our forum about the same time and all three born tongue-tied. Amara's was corrected with a simple laser cut and it was done at the dentist. Medicine has changed so much since I retired! I'm glad they did it because it's a much bigger deal as kids get older. And scary for the kids.

JANA - come August, you might be very happy to have that extra bit of snow in those mountains!

Well, I had said we were going to have breakfast for supper tonite, but when rooting around in the fridge a bit ago I realized we still had some leftover cooked chicken, so I'm going to use it and make enchiladas instead.

And I just opened a gift that arrived from my DD#1, Lara. It's a kitchen towel and printed on it is one of my mom's own recipes, in her own handwriting! OMG! What a gift! And as soon as I get all the ingredients, I'm going be making some Mexican Tea Cakes, working from that towel!

What will you be eating tonite?

Good Morning,

Tonight we are going to an Angel vs Rangers baseball game. The Angels won last night in the 10th inning. We will probably leave before the fireworks this evening. Dinner for DH will be hot dogs at the game. I am thinking I will have something else.

Maryz - It is beautiful here today but cooler than normal. What a thoughtful gift to get a towel with a recipe! You will need to make a special grocery run for those missing ingredients! This is the second time I made the tomato soup recipe. It isn't hard and the food processor cuts all the vegetables fairly fine. I used a wand processor after it had cooked for a while to further puree. It is very tasty! You have me wanting to make jam.

Becca - The recipe I made uses only 6 tomatoes so not much to can. You must have had to chop a lot of vegetables! I have been having strawberries for breakfast. So enjoyable!

Jana - Sorry about the dishwasher flood however glad you found a replacement and are getting it installed on Tuesday.

I am going for a walk, have lunch and sew this afternoon.

Carol
