Asparagus on the side

Who doesn't live asparagus? And when we talk about it, the weirdest conversation comes up about it. I know you know what I'm talking about. I could eat it fresh and washed right out of the garden providing it's thin.  I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it and the bookmarked links below have some of those ways. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think about these recipes I found. https://www.marthastewart.com/1143345/asparagus-casserole https://www.marthastewart.com/1517003/pea-and-asparagus-salad?utm_source=mslo-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=everydayfood_070817&did=158480-20170708 https://food52.com/blog/22083-river-cafe-london-cookbook-ruth-rogers-tagliarini-with-asparagus-and-herbs For now have a great day,  and a better one tomorrow.

Swanky?

well I was doing really good getting rid of bookmarks but I saw this one today and instead of bookmarking it I'm just going to use it as my entry for today.  So you bought a place and don't have a lot of cabinet space but still want somewhere to store all of your liquor and glasses and accessories all the while keeping them together. Here's a great idea although I did something different but I plan to do this in the future somewhere else in the house. Maybe not as a liquor cabinet with somewhere to store other things because you can never have too much storage. So...... check this out. https://www.marthastewart.com/1506931/style-swanky-home-bar Let me know what you think, or do you have a cool cabinet to share? For now have a great day and a better one tomorrow.

Mac and Cheese, Yes please

Here's another bookmark involving a cheesey side dish. I'm not a big cheese fan but I do like a good recipe that incorporates cheese.   Take funeral potatoes for example. It's one of my go-to potluck, family gathering side dishes. But when I saw this macaroni and cheese recipe and who doesn't love the music from John legend in a Martha Stewart recipe,  well come on it's a no-brainer. It's a good thing, right? One reviewer said that it would be better with his seasoning salt so I'm going to search for that recipe too and put it in here if I can find it also I pasted a couple different places where this recipe was being made. After watching the video John puts some seasoning into his milk base and they talk about him liking Lawry's seasoning salt so I am assuming that's what it is. And while I'm at it, at the bottom of the recipe links I threw in the fried macaroni and cheese from Martha Stewart. https://www.tfrecipes.com/john-legend-seasoning-salt...

Kale Yes

Kale sometimes gets a bad rap because of it's texture, but prepare it correctly and you will have a hearty, green leafy salad that will be sure to please the pickiest salad eaters. And Brussels sprouts, well, they have haters too. It's a required taste I guess. Shaved into this salad, they shine on their own. I served this to a local Lions club years ago along with a chicken salad croissant and they loved it.  Try it. You'll like it.  https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/kale-and-brussels-sprout-salad?intcid=inline_amp For now, have a great day and a better one tomorrow.

Colon Check

Quote a few years back I decided to ask my doctor about the home test kit Cologuard since I had previous good outcomes with my colonoscopies. He agreed that I could definitely do this since there were no instances of colon cancer in my family. I ordered the test and followed the instructions. My test came back with good results.  Not long after that, my sister was diagnosed with colon cancer. After removal of part of her colon she was told she was clear of cancer and would not need radiation or chemo. She has been cancer free for many years now. I talked to my doctor about it and so to play it safe I went under anesthesia for a colonoscopy. My exam was good. I truly believe diet and exercise play a key role in keeping your colon healthy. Cologuard was good for me but the scary outcome of what happened to my sister changed my exam routine. I believe I can go back to using the Cologuard because I have a different lifestyle than she does. I think I eat a lot more healthier and get mor...

Service Transfer Headache

So sorry about the delay, but my husband wanted to switch services and put us both as users of GoogleFi. I have been with Straight Talk for many years. For a few days now we have been trying to transfer my number. The headache began when the first transfer didn't take. I was putting in all the right information. Then after a couple days I found out that I was putting in some of the information wrong.  I had no idea I had been entering wrong information all along to try and Port my information from Straight Talk to GoogleFi. After many attempts of trying myself, talking to tech support from Straight Talk, GoogleFi, and Verizon, my husband took over. Here is what transpired. He got a hold of Straight Talk port tech support and they said that we're putting in the zip code wrong. There's no way.  My bill is under my current address since I auto pay with my credit card, so I thought. Well then we thought okay we moved here a couple years ago so maybe it was from our previous add...

Warm Days Deserve Lemonade

It's a warmer day here in Illinois, a balmy spring day of 83 degrees F.
