...3.24...Over the Weekend...

...a pretty low-key weekend...

...toasted bagel and tofu scramble for breakfast...

...then we headed out to do the shopping...I was looking for a celery root for a couple of Julia Child recipes...but we didn't find any...not really sure where to look for it...or maybe this is just not the season for it...

...back home to do some yardwork...we got a new rain gauge...copper this time as the other pretty glass one froze and broke...

...we put it in the side yard and you can see it from the back porch without getting wet...haha...

...I pulled up a whole tote full of weeds...mostly from the stip of grass outside our fence...

...and Sunday after Church we had a nice stroll in the Botanical Gardens...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!

...3.22...Dinner and a Movie...

...well...I can still see your blogs even if I can't post to my own or comment...it really takes almost all of the fun out of blogging...

...to my sweet sissie Karen who blogs from her boat at McCraw Sails...Hey K...glad your dinghy started right up for you...such glassy water and pretty sunsets...how nice that you get new batteries...and everything landside definitely looks ship-shape...Love,T

...to karen from Pumpkin Sunrise...Hi Karen...your Vanilla sweater looks wonderful...down to the final sleeve...years ago I made the Plain Vanilla Pullover...it was a KAL...I posted about it here...I still have the sweater and wear it often...(Ravelry Plain Vanilla Pullover)

...to Éphée from L'éphémère quotidienneté des repas et autres trucs de magie...Hi Éphée...your beet salad looks delicious...I think the olives are a wonderful addition...I have turnips ready to harvest from the winter garden...but the beets did not do so well...maybe we'll still get a few later this spring though...your mushroom tarte looks amazing too...and your pup so sweet...

...to Penny from Snap That Penny...Hi Penny...your March Q&A was so fun...it's defnitely been windy here...and a roller coaster of temperatures...trees are blooming and it's pollen season now...everything has a coating of yellow dust...

...on the reading front...I finished The Frozen River...pretty quickly once I had some time to sit down and read...haha...I enjoyed the book...and I should get the true story of A Midwife's Tale - the Life of Marth Ballard based on her Diary 1785-1812...which should be really interesting...I almost always enjoy the non-fiction more than the historical fiction...

...what have you been reading lately?...

...we had homemade pizza for dinner...and watched...Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person...it was really good...and it was in French which was a bonus (for me anyway...for the Man...not so much...haha)...I really enjoyed it...the French was not difficult to follow at all...and the story was very cute and original...

...what have you been watching lately?...

~Have a lovely weekend!

...3.21...Friday Update...

...we're starting the final downstairs room re-do...the Laundry Room...which will also be my craft room...

...I have a before photo from the realtor's photos showing the room with the 20 year old machines that still have the blue plastic protective film on them...and the manuals tucked inside...

...anywhoo...we've moved them out into the hallway...and we're ready to paint...a nice soft purple colour...

~Have a lovely day!

...3.20...Delicious Vegan Food we ate...

...I'll just tell you about another full day of vegan eats...I do actually have photos too...

...toast with Marmite for a quick breakfast...we don't have this very often...and I think the key to enjoying it is to use the Marmite very sparingly on buttern toast...it's quite nice...

...I was hungry again later...so I had an apple with some peanut butter...

...the Man had to run some errands...and I was surprised when he came home with sub sammies...it was such a treat...mine was just veggies so I put some tofu and vegan cheese on it as well...

...and we've had a chilly spell...as often happens this time of year...so we made vegetable soup and grilled cheese for supper...

...what delicious food have you been eating lately...

~Have a lovely day!

...3.19...W.I.P. Wednesday...

I've finished all of Dolly #2's clothes...

...including her blue jeans and her white t-shirt with a heart on it...this time in the colours of the American flag...and I made a chart for that too...

...what's in your workbasket this week?...

~Have a lovely day!

...3.18...Tuesdays with Julia...

...no food post today...but I got an email that The Vegan Version had been chosen by FeedSpot as one of the Top 30 French Food Blogs...that was so nice...I'm honored...

Here's the post...the Vegan Version is #9...a couple of the others are 'healthy'...but I think The Vegan Version is the only vegan one on the list...

~Have a lovely day!

...3.17...Over the Weekend...

...we had a nice visit with Our Nephew's family...and watched a few soccer games with them...

...our neice is the team goalie...I learned a lot about soccer rules sitting and chatting with her parents during the games...so even though I watched every episode of Ted Lasso...I am not a soccer expert...haha...

...our regular weekend schedule was a little different...happily so...

...and we had a community St. Patrick's Day party to attend...the kiddos left for home and the Man made a big batch of Vegan baked beans to take...but sadly a storm blew in and the event was cancelled...we'll be eating baked beans all week I guess...haha...

...but I did go out after and get some groceries for the week...we didn't really need a lot this week though...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
