Just picked up some sugar snap peas, strawberries, & rhubarb (think I'll make a crisp) at the Farmers Market - now I just need to figure out what to have with them!

Oh shoot! I was going to go to the farmer's market, today. I completely forgot. I knew there was something I wanted to do today, but I couldn't think of what it was. I doubt there are many vendors left by now. Bummer!
 
I am home all by myself tonight, YEAH, I need to relax. Thing I will have a couple of cocktails hahahah, and jump in my jetted tuba and take a nice long bath....
 
I'm making Shrimp Rockefeller. . .we used to get it all the time at Red Lobster but it's not on their menu anymore.
 
We're going out with friends tonight to the state park. Not sure if we'll take picnic grillin' stuff or if we'll eat at the cafe.
 
I made the Creamy One Pot Pasts last night with Shrmip and my family loved it, even my DS who is :D"allergic to veggies"

I didn't go to THAT farmers market! I just stopped at the little one in Hudsonville - I was at the Post Office and the Dr's office, and it's right around the corner.


Hey - what are you doing Saturday??? Maybe we could meet at the Farmers Market then? I haven't been at all this year so far.

Mmmm, then maybe that calls for some hot buttered egg noodles! Yum! Grate a little parmesan cheese over them, and even better!:thumbup:
 
We are having Pronto Pizza Patties from It's Good For You.

Becky, I figured you didn't come here because I know you would never do that and not call me. Saturday I will not be back into town until late in the day. Sorry! (BTW, did you get my e-mail?)

Pronto Pizza Patties are a favorite at our house!


I was just reading your email - I'll get back to you after the 4th - Jen is out of town, and I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet - I just don't want her to have to drive down alone, and I don't know if she has other people going with her yet or not.....
 
Taking my soon to be 13yoa (tomorrow is her birthday) granddaughter out to dinner and shopping tonight. She is also going to help me find something for our banquet.
