For whatever reason my coffee making skills are lacking and it always bites a little. It's ok, tho. I can complain really well, so it makes up for my lack of skills in domesticity....
Dan, I often suffer with tendonitis, and my knee joints are about shot. It is common for people to see me limping around, so I can understand your predicament. I sympathize with you, brother!
I'm 5'10", and I don't know if this qualifies me as being "tall and strong", Mookie, but I got your favorite coffee cup out of the cupboard and I've poured you a cup of hot coffee.
It's about 34 degrees here in Sioux Falls right now, it's supposed to top out at about 45 later this afternoon. We had winds blowing out of the south yesterday afternoon at about 25 MPH, and I am hoping that it won't be quite so windy this afternoon. Don't want to get blown into North Dakota!!
Ray
Ms Mook - I don't usually do coffee (and still don't drink it). You want cream and sugar with that?
Colder than blue blazes this morning - 15. Supposed to rain this afternoon....

Dan - you need to find a job where you won't hurt yourself so bad - maybe logging or sky diving to collect birds or bull fighting? They will take you to the alter in a baggie at this rate.
CW - I am having company on Sat afternoon (Willy2) so need to start getting into shape for that - will take Rice Krispies, WW toast, bacon and jelly. That sounds like a nice round shape to me!
It is 50 outside and windy. Think it is going to be 60 today, but was only supposed to be about 42. Someone either left the furnace on too long or they have brain freeze....
Need coffee.....will have to wait for tall/stron gentleman to come in, since Joe is in Rochelle and not available. I'll wait impatiently with CW......
//limps into diner
I'll grab a bite quick then back to productivity. I managed to hurt myself last night while running sprints. Who needs an Achille's Tendon anyway?
Supposed to be crappy weather (cold, windy, precipitatish) all week. I'd rather stay in bed...
Dan
Good Tuesday morning, you all. Although, not too good, since it looks like no one was in here at all last night.
Coffee and other beverages are fresh and ready this morning.
Breakfast is on the breakfast/warmer bar: all the regular menu items. Help youselves, and I'll see you all after Tuesday Produce.
Supper is ready! On tonight's menu: burgers, cheeseburgers, bacon burgers, fries, and garden salad.
You all have a terrific evening, and I'll try to make it back in here later.
CW, again you find my weakness (0ne of them) with dinner rolls fresh from the oven. I'll have a turkey sandwich, garden salad and chocolate cake (another one) and then a nap if a chair is available.
Another bright sunshiney day in AZ, temp in low 70's here in the mountains. Will workout on weights this PM, after my nap.
Jack
Lunch is now being served: ham & turkey sandwiches on nice, big dinner rolls, fresh from the oven. Also got the following salads: garden, Caesar, fruit, and Pistachio (or some people call it Watergate Salad).
Desserts: chocolate cake, and what's left of my egg-shaped coconut cake, and Larry's Easter Bunny cake.
Now: anyone has any suggestions for supper tonight?

Smart dog! Almost up there with the "cat"....the "cat" knows how to get the butter for them...
My cat won't bother with butter if there's meat around!
He's gotten into the butter (margarine) tub before, too. Just not both at the same time.
He can be quite the thief. I know if I hear the dog door slam open that I need to figure out what he's up to...
Rolls! Great sandwiches with those leftovers!
Some salads would be good.
I'd offer some leftover baking powder bisquits, but I forgot them on the table last night after I ate. The Dalmatian didn't forget them, though....
Good morning, everyone! Looks like today's going to be a beautiful, sunshiney day, even though it's on the cool side. High today should reach about 45, 46 degrees by 6 p.m.
Mookie, glad you found the "leftovers" in the cake pans!! Although, there wasn't much left in the pans. For once, the cakes came out of them, fairly easy, and didn't crumble much!
As usual, couldn't get in the door this morning at 6:15. That seems to be the norm lately, around here. But I'm glad some of you were able to get in this morning!!
Do I have any meal requests for today, other than what's left of the turkey and ham from yesterday?
....A moderate Easter Sunday with on and off sunshine. Today, and now....29 and rising. Sunshine. Grass is greening and the trip to the little barn in the back yard to check in on the John Deere is coming close.....Must install the Humming bird feeder today on family room sliding glass door glass. Old man winter will have to be packing and be on his way.....
Edit: And they just fertilized the lawn today.....
Quentin
Well, can't complain about the fact that it was sunny all weekend - which it was. Would have liked warmer temperatures. This morning - snow.
I'll grab my usuals and be over in the corner contemplating nature...
Hmmm - leftovers - and I love left overs. Will scrape out the bottom of the E bunny pan. I won't need breakfast after I clean up all the items leftover from yesterday.
We had Easter with the squirrels. They love us - or maybe it is the peanuts and seeds? Who sez you can't buy love!
Mook
CW I think everyone found all the eggs.including the ones up in the doorway.grandma had lots of surprises for us.matt has even started a mini garden.Once the snow is gone and it warms up he will help grandma and grandpa put them in their bigger garden.mamma is packing things up for tommorow.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Jack and Dale, thank you for your kind words!
And Larry, thank you for making the bunny Easter Cake!! The one I made, was egg-shaped: I just used a canned ham can, and filled it with cake batter, baked it, cooled it, then decorated it.
I've warmed up some more turkey and ham and trimmings, and set everything out. So help yourselves, if you're not too stuffed, already! We have had some rain this afternoon, early evening, and snow showers!!
I do remember, back on Easter Sunday, 1971, we woke up to about 5, 6 inches on the ground. We didn't go to Sunrise Service, that year. Stayed home,and worked on Easter Dinner, before my brothers and sister and their families showed up, ready to eat!!
Tyler - Outstanding pacing shot!
Since I'm in the kitchen anyhow, I'll whip up an "Easter Bunny" cake -
One round pan, cake mix to suit. Prepare, bake, etc. Remove from pan and cool.
Cut in three pieces - two hemispherical and a slice in the middle. The two large pieces will be set on the cut edge (back to back) as the bunny's body, so cut carefully to match. The slice from the middle will be cut to form the head.
Frost like you would a two layer cake to join the two sides, place the head, and then frost the whole thing. Unless you're into odd colored bunnies, white frosting will do just fine. Before the frosting sets, cover with shredded coconut. Use pink jelly beans for eyes (unless you choose otherwise).
Cut two pieces of heavy white paper into bunny ear shapes. Fold in half lengthwise. Using food coloring, paint the inside of the ears pink.
Mix up some milk and green food coloring. Not too much. Add enough shredded coconut to form a "nest" around the bunny on the tray or plate you use. Mix well, drain if necessary, then turn out on some paper towels to dry some. Surround the bunny with the "grass" and plant plenty of jelly beans in the grass.
Voila.
It's on the counter.

Mutt, do you hide your own eggs??? It has been suggested I could do it and enjoy looking for them multiple times. But surely my friends exagerate about my poor memory.

Poor memory? Uh, what were we talking about?!
