I tried another "new" recipe from the pile last night - overnight french toast casserole. I didn't really follow it completely, and used a topping recipe from another recipe. It was good, and easy to make. Just very sweet, so a vegetable hash side would have been nice.
Hubby brought home steaks to grill, in anticipation of grilling season. I whipped up a marinade and today we'll grill them and slather them with whiskey/blue cheese butter.
I'll be honest. I have not crocheted one thing since, well, it must be over a week now. I could not do it when Youngest was sick and we had the extra puppy, and then I just didn't feel like it. That's a shocker for you. I didn't feel like it. I think there is something wrong with me, ha ha!
I, however, finished a 417 page book. That's another shocker. I read most of it on the road trip last weekend.
Our 14 year-old is back in school, but our 16 year-old continued to run a fever yesterday. I made a double batch of homemade ginger-ale syrup, and put another jar of home canned applesauce in the fridge. She's having trouble keeping anything down, along with a very sore throat. It's been hot herbal teas/honey, and tea tree oil. If she cannot breathe yet today, I'll boil water and add some eucalyptus oil for her to inhale. If she continues to run a fever (it would be day 4), I'll be taking her back to a doctor.

I've been on a bit of a reading kick lately, too. Actually reading when hubby and I sit down at night for wind-down time rather than doing handwork. Of course, now I feel my handwork has been neglected. Never enough hours, are there?
It's a glorious day here, and I'd open the windows, but we live on a dirt road and the pollen has begun to fly thickly from all the pine-type trees, so we can't. We do have window air conditioners though, and I can turn them to fan only and bring in the cooler air without all that junk, cause the filter in the a/c stops most of it.
We've been selling a lot of cook out items at the store. Everyone's excited to see Spring creeping in, although it's been more very hot Summer like weather which I don't care for. Still, you get what you get, no matter where you live. It's a fact of life!
Prayers everyone has a safe and blessed weekend.
God bless.
