I have a sirloin roast cooking with garlic and onions and potatoes and tomatoes, a tomato gravy and rice.

It's been an absolutely gorgeous day here today I have the doors and windows open getting fresh air in the house. My neighbor and I went to lunch then to a garden center to buy plants, she is planting a little vegetable garden. I will plant a tomato plant in a container in the atrium. I just can't get around well enough to do a vegetable garden unfortunately and I miss that.

A friend and neighbor up the road just invited me over for Easter leftovers. Hey why not? It's better than the can of soup I was going to open. Plus it's been gray and chilly all day. After running errands for a couple hours this afternoon and being blown about by a downright cold wind, I'm ready to eat - and don't have to cook!

Left overs from two dinners this week-end, so ham and/or fried chicken, green beans, and whatever else is in the fridge.

schoolhouse, we had a storm last night and that chilly weather, too, after such a gorgeous week-end--reminded me of a child that was good as long as he could be, ate a bunch of Easter candy, then had a meltdown. :)

Hubby is on vacation so we ate really early.

Ham and Swiss Rosti (using leftover ham from Easter, dehydrated hash brown potatoes, fresh herbs from the garden) http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/ham_swiss_rosti.html, green salad and pickled beets. Spicy canned peaches topped with Clumpy Granola (made this morning) http://www.cookiemadness.net/2006/11/clumpy-granola/  Enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow ;-).

Schoolhouse: I'd have gone out in the cold/wind to a neighbors if they would feed me. ☺ I made my own version of taco salad, but don't use any taco type shells in it. Also had a small chicken patty.

Marylin-Sue,

Would you post a recipe for the marinated vegetable salad?

My mother & I shared a turkey sandwich, some pickled beets and V8 juice.

seagrass

Rice/shrimp creole, salad, and left over acini di pepe.

Plain old fried breakfast sausage patties with cheese on hamburger buns. :)

This morning I put a roast, potatoes, carrots and cabbage in the crock pot.

Demetri's, old established bbq restaurant for open bbq, chopped, mixed with sauce on the side and extra pickles.

For the first time in about four years, I made goulash. (A favorite of my kids when they were teenagers) . It was so good and brought back so many memories.
