Success
When I went out this morning to water a few plants, the last thing on the list was the area where we put down grass seed on newly tilled soil off of the corner of the house. That grass seed was put down last Thursday afternoon. Here we are on Tuesday and there are multiple spears of grass showing. That is deemed a gardening success. It did help that it was so close to the water supply that the area did get a sprinkle of water every day.
Yesterday my trip to Mankato was to have lunch with some fellow stitchers. Once a month we encourage each other, help each other with some challenges and do a whole lot of chit chat. Enjoyable beyond belief for me. I have yet to find fellow stitchers in St. James that are willing to commit to getting together.
A recipe had surfaced on Facebook called “Lemon Brownies.” I printed it off for future reference. Today was that future. Dennis made a run for two chubby lemons that we needed for lemon zest and the actual juice. It could have well been called “Lemon Bars.” I can tell you that it looks wonderful and Dennis and I have a date at 8:00 this evening to cut into them. I had not baked anything for a very long time. I need to do a bit more of it. It’s very satisfying. I have been give the gift of a gently used Kitchen Aid heavy duty mixer that takes the heft out of mixing stiff cookie dough. Stauffer Avenue’s Betty Crocker may be making a come back.
