Spring Rolls in October? And, why not?!

It has been raining. What is this? I think it's called humidity 🤨. There are no puddles but it looks as tho the Weather Service is saying we had about 1/10 inch. Supposed to continue. Steve!

. I'm Kidding! :D!

And, here’s a picture of the snack bag for everyone, esp @flowerbug :). This was purchased at the Dollar Tree. Normally, I wouldn't recommend buying a snack at a dollar store but this a Calbee product and we buy the Green Pea Snack Crisps quite often. This was new and DW went for it ;).

That's basically "it," dahlia. I looked in a half dozen cookbooks but really think that I originally used Mom's Good Housekeeping. Checked my GH cookbook but it is about 40 years newer than hers was ;). I can say that I forgot to mention the diced carrots in that post! The veggies, beef and the...

Microwaved egg? You can do it, @Dahlia . Scrambled. Only takes a few seconds for 1 egg. You had better stay and look through the glass with a finger poised to turn it off because, it is so likely to explode! One egg. I am much more likely to make it in the skillet as a "toad in a hole." Butter...

We had stuffed bell peppers yesterday for dinner. It's the time when there are just too many of them to use 1 & 2 at a time. Along with chopped sweet peppers in the stuffing, a few jalapeños went in as well ... and cherry tomatoes. Under the cheese on top and the little pepper stem cap, of...

Thought of @flowerbug :D.

I'm doing the opposite –– opening the windows at mid-day to freshen the air in the house. The house is cooling overnight to quite a bit below "room temperature" because the thermostat is set at 62°f (17°C). I turn it up in the AM and the furnace runs awhile, go to nighttime temperature...

In the '90's my youngest uncle on my father's side stopped by while on vacation for a visit. He was something of a gardener, as was my grandmother and he had saved her tomato seed from her gardening during "The Depression." As the youngest child and with all of his older brothers in the military...
