I love beef burgers wrapped in lettuce. Though I also like them with homemade (only homemade), rolls, as well. Love how spring rain makes everything so green.
ReplyDeleteCheers and boogie boogie.
I will have to remember that Ivy....great idea!
DeleteBoogie boogie...
That is a lot of green! Everything is sprouting!
ReplyDeleteWe're getting your rain! It's pouring! We even have a flood warning!
Oh well....we always need rain, eh Betsy?
DeleteI was glad it didn't rain here though......
Linda, your green is just luscious. And I must thank you for a wonderful idea. As I was strolling through your pictures, the tin container you have with the plants growing out is just what I was looking for. If we are approved for the apartment...we have small patio off the living room... (upstairs). I want to take some iris bulbs of my MIL and I have an old antique metal bread box just about that size. It old and chipped and I wouldn't use it inside, but I've kept it in the garage for years. I think it will look really cute on the patio with my iris. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteTrying a new recipe in the crock pot...Stuffing on the bottom with crushed pineapple and juice, layer of chicken breast on top, and a combination of sauce of onion, celery, pepper and mushroom soup and sour cream on top. It sure smells good. "Hawaiian Thanksgiving"
I think that is an excellent idea Wanda....
DeleteI bought that picnic basket when I first started thrift shopping...
Immediately knew what I wanted to do with it♥️
Boy....that dinner sounds incredible....please let me know how it tastes...
I assume sour cream on top when serving.....right?
Enjoy your evening....
It was delicious...posting a picture tomorrow. The pineapple juice and crushed pineapple was the juice for the stuffing. That was in the bottom of the crockpot. chicken breasts dusted with flour, paprika, salt/pepper and browned in olive oil and placed on top of stuffing. Cook 6 hrs. The onion, celery, pepper, mushroom soup, sour cream and soy sauce made the "gravy"...Done in a sauce pan...not the crock pot...served on top of chicken and stuffing.
DeleteOh I will look for that!
DeleteWhat an interesting dish!
Thanks Wanda!
Lots of green there and everywhere now. I love all the different shades of green don't you? The old plaid picnic basket (or is it a lunch pail) with the hosta growing in it is really neat. It was mostly cloudy here today and 17 - not bad at all. Going down to 7 tonight though. I'm glad I don't have my annuals yet.
ReplyDeleteYes Pam...I sure do!
DeleteNo annuals here either...lots of time!
I love this time of year with all the shades of greens. Everything looks healthy and lush at the cottage. Is the 4th photo baby tears sedum? We had yummy carrot muffins with tea today. Perhaps some thunder storms overnight.
ReplyDeleteIf you say so...I really don't know!
DeleteIt gets tiny pink sedum like flowers....
Love carrot muffins....especially with tea!
Love your lush green garden, Linda - nothing like the colour green for the soul.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised to learn you like tea!! Is that usual over there ? I thought you guys liked coffee.
We are expecting heavy rain in UK to tomorrow, It usually rains in northern England, near beautiful mountain ranges surrounding lakes. This area is known as The Lake District (very much smaller than yours) but it often rains so much we call it The Leak District. You both must be busy and very fit with all the gardening work but with those gorgeous meals you cook that must provide lots of energy :)
Thanks Eddie....
DeleteUs Canadians are BIG tea drinkers...you must be thinking of the Americans...
A lot of us are of UK descent...my mother was British and my father from Scotland....
We LOVE our tea....with anything sweet♥️
My boyfriend is slim......I have put on. FEW lbs this winter...trying to ease up on my potato chip addiction! Hahaha!
The meals are delicious for sure...I am very good at that....
I have gone quite a few posts on tea parties and cakes.....
Try and not to get too wet! Ha!
Interesting history.
DeleteI'll [ut on my rain hat and wellies
Off to get some shut eye - goodnight!
Night......
Deletehas it ever greened up at your cottage, beautiful! We got your rain!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Laurie......better than snow!
DeleteSo many gorgeous shades of green. Love it. And...I love that bird bath. Thanks for your comment on Gwyn. She is such a joy to have around. Lots of smiles for nan. Oh, and she says "nananananana" now. hahaha!
