Daydreaming while waiting impatiently!

Try mashing cooked cauliflower with a few mashed potatoes. Tastes good & less carbs.

Ohhhh, we love mashed cauliflower - all by itself - doesn't even need the potatoes!

Haha! No way is cauliflower finding its way into my kitchen! DS10 would eat it but nobody else! DH hates the smell of it cooking!

I was out of town today - which was a good break from the farm. Since getting home, I'm feeling more overwhelmed than when I left! We're having a beautiful spring, 70 degrees and NO BUGS YET. I'm trying to make the most of it. I hate flies buzzing around my head!

DH worked on sheep fence again. The sheep are finally grazing the back section of pasture. He has had more evening and night work than usual, so his work at home is slow going.

Our deck needs maintenance this year, which means it needs the green goo and lichen scrubbed off. Oh my! This is a huge messy job! Satisfying, but hard to prioritize over everything else.

My house is a disaster and cupboards are empty [of convenience food]. Coming inside early to work on that this evening.

So glad to hear you all are o.k. and no damage was done to your place!

I drove through tornado path today. A trailer park and big turkey farm are absolutely destroyed. It's unnerving. Life is fragile.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

That is so sad - and scary that it was that close to you! Glad ya'll are ok.

 

[BarredBuff]

Glad you are doing fine. We had a tornado scare when I was in school this past semester--I was out driving when it happened. Luckily, my friends and I made into our basement quickly! That stuff is scary!

Our power went out yesterday evening and still out today. We went out to eat last night. I have fire pit, dry firewood in the basement, and a never-used Dutch oven. My family vacationed on a island every summer when I was a kid - with no amenities - so I've seen cooking and baking over an open fire many times, just didn't learn to do it myself. Maybe I'll find my sense of adventure today.

True that!

Cooking over a fire is fun. We used to traditionally in S.A. "Potjiekos" we call it, translates to "small pot food".. Doesn't have quite such a nice ring to it in English LOL
