Yes, it's early. Lots of not much going on; Richard and I are both dealing with relatively minor medical issues (unrelated to my major medical issue), and it's getting old. Spring is here along with the grass growing like gangbusters. The work Richard's put in last fall and earlier this year is really paying off... in lots more healthy grass to mow. While it definitely firmly entrenches us in suburbia, it also reminds me how I long for a more rural existence. Oh well, someday in the not so distant future, I'll have that life. For now, we keep up with the neighbors in the riding lawn mower wars.
Cookingwise, I've been in a rut. Salads with chicken are standard fare here -- not a bad thing, but definitely not exciting and new. I've bookmarked several recipes, but I've had such a high percentage of misses lately with the internet recipes that I'm still gunshy on expending the effort and ingredients for these new, untested ones.
In the garden, the good news is that all the plants are still alive, indoors and out. After our brief trip to the bay area next week, the peppers and herbs should be arriving the week of 5/18. It shouldn't be too much to get in the ground, but I will do as much prep work as possible this week.
Boring as usual...
