Chenopodium album, an edible weed.

Wonderful news pesky! Not quite the same as hearing it from the Governor's office but this common citizen says thanks for helping take care of our enviornment too!

I'll jump in too. David and I have been married 27 years come April 9th. The day he walked into my life was the best thing that ever happened to me. David is truly the nicest, sweetest, most compassionate person I have ever known. Not once have I ever heard a bad word for another human being come from his mouth. David accepts me for who I am, all my short comings and irritating ways and tells me every single day that he loves me. This man helped me take care of my homebound Mother without one single complaint. And as God as my witness, in the 30 years we have known one another we have NEVER had an argument, not a single one. And I am not someone to blindly obey "my man". We just get along extremely well and are so grateful to have one another. David is a computer wiz too. He can fix anything about them...he is a Behavior Analyst so I guess he can fix behaviors too...LOL I am blessed with having David as my husband and I know that. After seeing how lonely my Mother was after Daddy died 8 years ago, I made a mental note to never complain about David smacking sometimes when he eats again..hahaha I get very uncomfortable around people that just fuss and gripe about how irritating their husbands are. It is hard to keep my mouth shut...I want to ask them if they would like it better if they were gone from their lives...I don't think the answer would be yes all the time. I agree about being more in love today than 27 years ago...and when David walks into the room...he still takes my breath away. Lord have mercy I love that man. Deb :o)))

Thanks again everyone! Cooked apples for sure, and maybe something else, if I go to the produce market this week. Chicken pot pie is on the menu for one night this week. As mentioned in my original request, no salad because we eat so many salads. Taco salad is on the menu this week also. Some good ideas although sorry, we neither one like beets and I do not like pickled anything LOL! Watermelon, tomatoes, even cantaloupe sound wonderful, but not in season and so hard to find them good otherwise. I haven't been to my produce market yet, and he goes to FL and AL before stuff is in season here, so I will see what he has.
