Happy spring!!! I am so glad that spring has finally showed its lovely face around here! The daffodils are blooming and new leaves are starting to bust out everywhere. I am also happy to report that C and I had a successful car shopping day on Saturday. We purchased a 2008 Chevrolet Equinox All Wheel Drive in black and it is sharp if I do say so myself. I do not know anyone who actually likes to car shop and I don’t either, but it was time. It had been almost six weeks since our accident and I had spent a lot of time in the last couple of weeks looking at vehicles online and, boy, are they expensive! We still had to give a little more than I wanted to for this one, but I think overall we got a pretty good deal. I am really glad that it over!
Back to the fun stuff…food! The only thing I did not have time to make last week was the lemon chiffon cake since we were out all day Saturday, so I am moving that one to this weekend. I have a 20 year class reunion meeting on Saturday (gulp! 20 YEARS!), but I should have time to make the cake as well. Here is what I have planned:
Leftover pineapple pork loin
Sausage bake and fruit
Round Steak Italiana (new recipe)
Grilled pork chops with butter roasted potatoes
Lemon Chiffon Cake (new recipe) For some reason, I just can’t get this recipe made. Last week, I didn’t have time, and this week I discovered that I was missing some ingredients. Oops!
Southern Plate’s Banana Crumb Cake (new!)
Pizza night
Neighborhood restaurant night
