Easter Time

                   

It's such a special time for us all... 

                                       And, busy!

I drove up to Shirley's on Good Friday. It was the 44th year that she has held a Good Friday bake sale featuring her chick cookies. People from near and far think it isn't Easter if they don't have Miss Shirley's chicks. Kids who grew up having that as an Easter treat are now buying them for their little ones and even grandchildren. My, how time flies!


So, that was a great outing for me. Came home and took an hour and a half nap!! It's exhausting just looking at all that yummy stuff being carried out the front door!! 

                                                                                            

I've been working on a match three game on my Kindle.... for weeks. They dump a whole ton of pictures out on the screen and you match 3 at a time until you are finished. And, it's timed!!

Like I say, it's been weeks and I could never get all those threes matched together before I ran out of time! 
This morning I said to myself "Self, if I can beat the clock this morning and win this sucker, I am going to go to the Farmer's Market." 


I hadn't been in a few years, mainly because of being unsure of the parking situation, getting myself across uneven terrain, being joshled by shoppers.... But, that is just being a coward! Where is my MoJo? 
My Drive? My Daring?

So, I am matching up three watermelons, three apples, three pies etc, etc, etc on my Kindle and all of a sudden I have them all matched............
TaDa
with 2 minutes to spare! 

So, I closed the front door behind me, drove downtown and even found a parking spot very close to the market. SomeOne was looking out for me! 

No local veggies yet. I did buy some cage free eggs, 2 huge tomatoes which turned out to be yummy. I made me a tomato sandwich once home! and bought some home-grown Oyster Mushrooms. 


Now I am not a mushroom person. I'll eat them out at a restaurant but I never cook with them. This is gonna be interesting! 

Anyone with any great recipes or ideas for Oyster Mushrooms?

  1. The mushrooms would be good just sizzled in some butter and eaten with any dish. Yummy!

  2. Happy Easter to you, Laverne, and glad you got the wins and so went to the Farmers Market. Those chick cookies of Shirleys must have been wonderful smelling them just out of the oven!

  6. Happy Easter! Sounds like a nice trip out yesterday. I love a good farm shop. We always get free range eggs, barn eggs at a pinch, easily available everywhere over here. Ever since I saw a programme about caged birds over 40 years ago I decided I'd rather do without than get cage eggs!

  9. I'm glad you made it to the Farmer's market. Those tomatoes look perfect and I like the sound of a tomato sandwich. I made myself one a couple of weeks ago:)
