My Weekly W's


What's top of my mind: I really love the new side by side refrigerator that we bought in November.  It has so much more space.  I spent the morning doing an inventory and straightening it up a bit.  I want to focus on using up last summer's veggies and fruit to make room.  I still have quite a few bags of local blueberries, so I pulled out a bag and put a few in a separate jar to use with yogurt for couple of days and then made a batch of Jordan Marsh muffins.  So good. Culinary Adventures with Lori: Search results for jordan marsh blueberry muffins

Where I've been: Breakfast with TBG yesterday and a few errands was pretty much it for the week.

Where I'm going: Next week is the yearly Herb and Garden show that I always look forward to.  We're planning on going Friday afternoon to hear a speaker from Mari-Mann which was started by a friend of my grandmothers.  Mari-Mann always brings back great memories for me. No appointments or commitments for the week, which you know I always love.

What I'm watching: American Murder-Gabbie Petito which is such a sad story.  My heart goes out to her parents everytime I hear what they went through.  The Search for Instagrams Worst Con Artist.  This was a documentary on the young woman from the movie I watched a few weeks ago Apple Cider Vinegar.  I actually felt sad for her also because she obviously has some serious issues.

What I'm reading: Nothing to speak of.

What I'm eating:
Shephard's pie and salad
Roasted chicken legs, baked potato and salad
Spaghetti and meatballs and salad
Chicken sausage, veggie rice bowl with a cheese rollup.  


Meatball subs with oven fries
Beef chili with garlic cheddar biscuit.  These are the easiest, delicious biscuits. Culinary Adventures with Lori: Savory Drop Biscuits
Tonight, we're having gulf shrimp with sides TBD.

Who needs a good slap: No one comes to mind, actually.

What's making me smile: My Ninja 14 in 1 made me smile yesterday.  I found a bag of gorgeous poblano peppers and needed to roast them to get the skins off.  After a week of temperatures in the 60's and 70's I didn't know that I was going to wake up to a weekend of highs in the low 30's.  I wasn't in the mood to grill the poblano's in the cold so I decided to try the Air Roasting setting to see if that would work and it worked wonderfully.  After 25 minutes of cook time with 15 minutes in a sealed bowl the skins came right off.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead!!
