The grandkids' school is putting on Wizard of Oz. They aren't in the production, but we're going to support the students who are.
Anyway, I'm roasting a tray of asparagus, whole garlic cloves, sweet onion, and sliced mushrooms, olive oil, salt and pepper. I'm putting some of the onion and garlic into a chicken broth based potato soup. I cooked that yesterday, and decided to add the rest of the bleu cheese to it, to make it creamy. I don't know when I'll get to eat any of it, but it'll be here when I get home.
Happy Friday!

(34,612 posts)I just fixed myself some scrambled eggs, and topped them with sliced tomatoes and avocado. I used one whole egg and one egg white.
What passes for beefsteak tomatoes in the grocery stores in March is kind of depressing. Cant wait for those good garden tomatoes.
Enjoy the play!

I can't eat a lot of tomatoes now. Miss having them. Does it help flavor/texture to put them in a window?

I've got a couple of avocados on the ledge now.

I'm just glad we get real winters at this altitude so there's a soup season every year.
