EGGS! (And other stuff)

 Weeeeeee.....
We are finally getting eggs on a fairly
consistent basis.
Pretty sure it's only the easter eggers
and the red hens who are laying.
The Black Stars should start soon.

But Kyle is collecting between 5 and 8
nearly every day.


Aren't they pretty?

Meanwhile, I taught over the weekend.
Kyle stopped by after church yesterday
(I was on my lunch) and I told him I was
going to make fajitas for dinner.

But then I realized I don't have any tortillas.
Or tortilla chips.
Or yellow rice.
Or sour cream.

So, I went out and found a steak in the freezer
and put it out to thaw while I taught the 
afternoon session.
I decided to make funeral potatoes to go with.

But when it was time to make it,
I didn't have any cream of chicken.
So I subbed cream of mushroom.
I also didn't have any sour cream.
So I subbed cream cheese. (A REALLY good sub)
And I didn't WANT to put 10 tablespoons
of butter in it, so I didn't. 
(Cream cheese is plenty creamy...)
I DID have lots of yummy cheese,
thanks to the Christmas present that keeps giving.
(Thanks Mom & Dad)
Also I didn't have any corn flakes for the top
so I subbed Ritz.

It was actually delicious.
But not "funeral potatoes".
Just cheesy potato casserole-ish thing.
But yummy.

This is what life looks like when
you are trying to clean out the
pantry and freezers prior to a move.

Creative, eh?
Hahahaha.
So we had steak, potato and mixed veg.
It was good.
We got full.
And had a nice visit while watching
old episodes of "The Commish".

Today was overcast and cold.
It only got to 40.
(It was 71 on Friday)
So we stayed in.
I read a book and Rod watched
stuff on his tablet.
(I watched a bunch on mine too....)
It was a relaxing day.
Which is always nice after a weekend class.

Tomorrow we are back on track.
Hays Days!
(And a phone call to Mom!)
