Mike and I considered ourselves soul mates, but we definitely were not culinary mates. Mike liked what he liked and disliked what he disliked and he never changed his mind about things like that. He did not eat mayonnaise. He did not eat tomato sauce. He did not eat cooked vegetables except for corn, peas and green beans. He did not eat onions cooked or otherwise. He did not eat casseroles ever since they were a combination of things he didn't eat anyway. I did not like mushrooms as a kid and eggplant just made me gag, but my tastes changed, Foods I found disgusting as a child are now among my favorites--mushrooms, eggplant, avocados, asparagus, eggs, spinach, brussel sprouts, herbs and spices. I will admit that I never developed a taste for liver (nor do I want to). I made this Moussakka a while ago and ate it every day for a week. I froze half of it but ended up thawing it out right away. It consists of sliced eggplant layered...
They are so sunny and pretty. Perfect symbols of spring.
ReplyDeleteWow, I wish I lived near you. I love flowers in the house but seldom think to buy any. I don't have a yard to grow any.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the snow left you some lovely vase fillers.
ReplyDeleteI probably need to grow some Bleeding Hearts since that is what every one calls me.
Think I'll dust off my vases as the roses are finally blooming. Thanks for the reminder.
It's amazing that they survived the snow so well! Lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love our bleeding hearts too, and violets and lily of the valley! I finally convinced my husband- the gardener- that violets are not a weed! Neither is my mint that is growing like crazy!! -- Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. It's so nice to see the results of your hard work in the garden.
