Seedlings, soup and a good cookie bar recipe

Hello everyone 

I planted these tomato and pepper seeds Feb 5 and it was pretty cold then 

It took a while but they all sprouted and seem to be growing a little everyday 

We really like that cabbage bean soup I wrote about a few days ago. 

This morning I made a double batch of it.  

The photo is not beautiful but the soup is tasty 

I baked a new recipe I saw from Meals with Maria- she has a YouTube channel and a blog 

Oatmeal Cookie Bars

I followed the recipe. She said to add things as desired and I added cinnamon and pecans.  

She said to use a 9x9 baking dish but it looked like a lot of dough to me so used a 9X13 and I’m glad I did.  

It also took a little longer to bake.  

The oatmeal bars are delicious and I plan to keep this recipe.  

I took some soup and cookies to my older relative for lunch and they liked them both very much.  

So did my husband.

Hope you’re all having a good day

Hello everyone 

My husband and I went to Oklahoma City today, partly to shop and partly to have a day out.  

We went to the Air Force base and shopped a little. 

Our youngest granddaughter turned 5 and we bought her  2 spring church dresses.  

I think maybe that’s  just  a southern thing, calling nice dresses “church dresses”- back when people were concerned about dressing properly for an occasion.  Some occasions called for a school dress, some called for a church dress and some called for a fancier, formal dress.  

The commissary just didn’t have many good deals or even reasonable prices. 

They do sell marked down meat in a freezer bunker.  

I’ve never bought this cut of pork but they look very lean - and I think I bought them just because they were $1 a package.  

The look like slices of loin that have been tenderized.  

I’m thinking tomorrow I’ll bread and pan sauté a package, serve on a bun, like a fast food pork sandwich.  

I saw this on Facebook and it made me laugh.  

March 4th everyone
