...5.11...Over the Weekend...

...there were two heads of broccoli left...a month old...but still perfectly fine...we didn't waste a single one...and now I'm going to be sorry that it's all gone...
...so...I used one of them to make what we call North Dakota Broccoli Salad...I've posted about it before...
...it's really delicious...and I know they have it other places...that's just where we first had it...
...for some reason...rice is still one of the things in short supply at the grocery store...so the Man ordered a big bag from Amazon...it's so pretty...and now we've got plenty of rice...
...we spent a couple of hours outside washing both vehicles...the weather was perfect...

...and yes...we use our cooler as a step stool for car washing...don't you...haha

...it's the perfect height...it's sturdy, stable and washable...
...then after Church (online in the recliner) on Mother's Day...I got out my new kindle book Vegan Brunch...and whipped up a vegan omelette...
...some of that awesome veggie bacon...and a few spears of asparagus...
...the Man cooking the omelette in his fancy schmancy le Creuset omelette pan...
...but the flipping and wrapping didn't go too well...
...the second one is always easier and better for some reason...
...much like the first pancake is often a fail...
...still a perfectly delicious Mother's Day brunch..
...I mean...delicious...
...and since it was brunch...we didn't have any lunch...but for dinner the Man had planned garlic knots and pasta e fagioli...or stay-at-home Italian restaurant fare...
...so he made the knots...
...and the soup...
...I added the vegan-garlic-parsley-butter...
...and baked up some gorgeous little garlic knots...
...and he added the pasta (ditalini) to the soup...
...and to go with it...we steamed the very last head of broccoli...
...and that turned out perfectly too...

...hoping you all had a marvelous Mother's Day...and...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!

  1. That all looks so delicious! I'm placing another Walmart order tomorrow and I just went and put fresh broccoli and baco's on the list. (I have everything else).

    Hope you had a wonderful long-distance Mother's day! Love, K
