BEDA #18 to do list and eggs

Hello 

Another Monday, another new to do list - plain and not pretty this time 

Today was mostly filled with laundry- I think I did 7 loads.  

We colored eggs yesterday so  today I turned them into egg salad and doubled  eggs to eat this week 

Thankfully they all peeled really easy 

Lots of egg salad for lunches and we ate most of the double eggs with our sloppy joes at supper.  

My husband bought this mushroom cutter awhile back.  We don’t eat mushrooms very often but I do use it whenever I need to chop eggs.

It works great! 

Then I crushed up the shells and worked them into one of the raised beds in the garden,  

More Parsimony - about my Zenni glasses, I do wear progressive bifocals and I have no complaints about my Zenni lenses. 

 I don’t have a very strong prescription and whether this makes a difference,  I don’t know.  I just know I’m happy with Zenni.

BEDA #17 Easter fun and technical issues

Hello everyone 

The first fun thing today was a big basket by the front door from a secret Easter bunny 

Photo was taken through the dining room window looking out to the front door 

Jackson didn’t want to pose for a photo, he wanted to open the basket 😁

The basket was full of candy and treats geared to all of us like Black Rifle coffee, pickled asparagus and green beans, bath bombs, nail polish, bubbles…..

We know who brought the basket but they want to be anonymous so we keep it that way.  Isn’t this a fun family tradition for them? 

I took more photos today with my phone but they aren’t downloading to the iPad I blog on so that’s all I have for you today.

Hope you all had a special and fun Easter 

❤️ Rhonda 

BEDA #16 getting ready for a big meal Sunday and new eyeglasses

Hello everyone 

We’re hosting Easter lunch and I think there will be 16 of us.  

So today,  I did some cooking and prepping ahead 

A grandson nicknamed these double eggs and I prefer that name 

No picture but I baked this and will serve with sliced peaches put in the freezer last summer and whipped cream. 

Potatoes ready to make scalloped potatoes and carrots ready to bake 

   

Granddaughter Elizabeth thought it was hilarious I was making a crust for this “salad”

Yes, we know it’s not really a salad but southerners call dishes like this salad and it’s ok 

It’s really delicious but I did make 1/2 a recipe as the whole recipe makes a lot! 

Homemade buttercream eggs from a sweet friend 

We’re also having smoked ham, green beans, rolls and a ham sauce.  

Tonight, my daughter is making a big pot of chili.

We’ll freeze the extra for future meals. 

And yes, it has beans in it.  

Our Zenni glasses arrived.  2 pair are mine, one pair is my daughter’s and the pair out of a case is my almost 5 year old pair of Zenni glasses that are still in great condition but my prescription has changed a bit. 

I know there are pros and cons ordering glasses.  

It works for us though 

These 3 pair with express shipping and upgraded lenses was about $210 total.  

They took almost 2 weeks arrive.
