Daily Notes- March 17- Happy Paddy Day to All


 Well........sigh.  Not much going on here.  I did buy a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie but we forgot to eat any of it yesterday.  We will today.  My Gardening Pal usually loads me up with Rhubarb and I make a fantastic homemade pie and share it with her.  She lives by the ocean and has an aquifer under her land.  The stalks of rhubarb are wide and sturdy. And delicious.

The leaves will transfer color to cloth.  I have a book now with instructions.

It's dark and damp outside and there are three white utility trucks next door and one Volvo.  Possibly they are having an "inspection" of the house.  Might have an offer.  None of the neighbors are sharing "news" with me but they all know I am interested. So...nothing to know as yet.

I stopped making Corned Beef And Cabbage a few years ago.  But I made it for about 40 years before stopping.  I loved it.  We had it growing up. It was a meal my mother could stretch to feed three growing children.  Lots of vegetables and a small portion of meat.  I stopped making it when my kids were both living elsewhere.  College and then apartments.  Husband was not a fan of the meal.

Still almost bare yogurt shelves at grocery. So husband got an "assortment" of different brands and flavors. He's being a "good sport" about it.  Not admitting that some of the items are actually better quality.  What's left is the expensive stuff. Noosa.  And the little French glass pots.  Oo la la.

I am making Refrigerator Pickles today for daughter.  The recipe passed the Gut Protocol Guide Test.. Cauliflower, Carrots, Onion, Garlic, Colorful Bell Peppers and some turnips and root vegetables. She remembers the pickles as being Salty but they have Sugar in the list.  I hope I am making what she thinks I am making????

David says don't they make yogurt right there in Maine or upstate New York? Just curious why the shortages. Bad weather?

I'm surprised you don't make your own yogurt. I used to when the boys were babies. Had a little machine plugged in and kept stuff at the right temperature. Then I'd stir in whatever. Applesauce, berries, carrots even. They never knew.

I would make my own if I ate it every day- I don't. He does.

No one knows- it's now been two full weeks. Bare shelves. the tubs are well sticked- it's the little single serving ones with candy or cookie bits that are out of stock
