Mid-April response

OK, so I posted a while ago and it wouldn't publish it. Anywho, we - like everyone else - are mostly stuck in the house. I run errands a couple of times a week, but that's it.

When the grocery store panic started, I bought a bag of red potatoes (couldn't get gold ones) and didn't put them in the refrigerator. So naturally, they sprouted, and we had to use them up quickly. Nena made potato soup with some of them (helped by some leftover smoked pork tenderloin we had in the freezer) and it was delicious! She then made Oh-Boy-Mom's potato salad with the rest of them!   Chicken thighs on the grill tonight to go with that.

We are interviewing some students to help out with the weeding and other gardening chores this summer; I think they're going to work out just fine.

  1. Well, it really isn't just cooking here although I did make my first jar of sauerkraut because Fred had corned his first brisket and we had left over cabbage from corned beef and cabbage.
    The student gardeners stay six feet or more away from us and use wipes on the gardening tools when they are finished. If they don't know about a weed, they text me a picture.
    Our city orders are in effect until May 11th, but I imagine it will be extended.

  3. Got wipes at Kroger and Walmart. Very scarce and off brands.
