We had a wonderful time. I just love visiting with Nita and Carol and Nita's husband is just as easy to get to know as she is. They have lived in so many countries and so many places I love hearing about. It's not every day you hear someone say in conversation, "When we lived in Ethiopia..." What an exciting life! I was a little disappointed in my lunch. I thought the ham loaf was a little dry because I left it in longer than I should have. Same with the potatoes and I won't even discuss the asparagus. But everybody seemed to like it and had seconds on the potatoes. I didn't have dessert because we don't usually eat our big meal until evening. So no dinner for us tonight unless we want to "pick". Where is everyone tonight?

Yes, Jas. That's the recipe I used. If you make them, be very careful adding the baking soda it foams up real fast. I added a teeny tiny bit at a time. I had a very tall pot and didn't have any trouble with the boiling over but they are still very messy to make. I had cleaned my cook top the night before (foolish that I was) and had to wipe down everything when I was through. They are worth it though. I did find they were even better the second day heated through.

I played bridge today. Partner and I came in first which surprised us because we had such crummy cards. That's the good part of duplicate, though. Doesn't matter how bad the cards are it's how good you do with the bad cards. LOL Guess we held our own. I didn't get home until 5:40. Was going to make shrimp creole but am settling for chili from the freezer instead. We'll have the creole Wednesday night. Hope you feel better Jas.

we bought a new little bbq cooker yesterday so we are breaking it in tonight with some baby back ribs. I have some potatoes to put in the oven for oven roasted potatoes. And we have fresh tomatoes from the farm to go with it.
