I love this! I get flowers for Mother’s Day too, they went out yesterday in the rain and picked me out quite a few to plant. Happy Mother’s Day to you!
Happy Mother's Day to you as well. Happy Planting!

So did my annual Mother's Day tradition a day early. All I ask for is an unlimited budget at my favorite local nursery. The only thing different is that I usually come home and start planting. I will not be planting till tomorrow afternoon at the earliest most likely Monday. Got a Bahn Mi from a local Vietnamese food truck that was at the nursery for lunch. Was actually a better day for some Pho but the Pork Belly was calling my name in the Bahn Mi.

Random question @Mrs.J.
Have you ever thought of or do you plan on opening your own restaurant?
Nope. Having worked in restaurants in HS and college I know what all it requires.
I only cook and bake for family and friends. I find relaxation in cooking and baking, and a restaurant I do not find relaxing. I am happy to pass along recipes for those who want them though.

If schools are only open 1 day a week you will be homeschooling anyway...
Not exactly. I will not be responsible for the learning content. Which is for the best. Being Dyslexic I have my own issues still.

I’m not homeschooling. Not only do I not have a ability to do that because of work, but I think any amount of social interaction is good for them.
I will not Homeschool. I am already hitting a wall with the youngest Miss J. And she will be in HS next year. The older Miss J. has it all under control. But honestly there would be two bloody bodies on the kitchen floor if I have to even try to get the younger to do what she needs to.

Probably not the instant kind, huh?
You got that right!
Thought I do not begrudge someone who does the instant ones. I used to eat those too when younger.

My middle school kid wants to go back. Which is surprising given her dislike of the amount of work they made her do
My 8th grader who was having a absolute crap year due to girl drama actually said she wanted to be able to go back. But I think it was that she wants to see her teachers. The 10th grader wants to go back because as much as she likes being home, she is better with in class instruction.
It will be weird in the fall as the 8th grader is moving up to HS. Hope that she will get to check out the school as she has anxiety. Will have to see what plan the system comes up with for going back in the fall.

MD kids will not be returning to the classroom this academic year, virtual learning through the end of school (june 22)
Knew it was coming and fine with it. The 2 Miss J's have been doing very well with their virtual learning, Mr. J and I have been happy with the type of work they have been getting. And our district in FCPS has been chosen for a pilot project that allows face to face video.

Don't knock that! I love just mashed potatoes for dinner with lots of butter melted all over them.

Why do people buy margarita mix? It’s just tequila, Cointreau or triple sec, and lime juice.
That is what we say. My husband has made ours for years and they taste so much better!

Making some grilled Mustard Potato salad to go with Brats and Kraut tonight right now. It is a new recipe but wanted a more German style taste. Has a lot of vinegar in it.

I have not heard of these 'Iowa Brownies', or maybe they are called something else here? What are they? (course Iowa and brownies and cattle bring other images up too lol!)
Not sure why they have that name but they have a whole can of Hershey's syrup (which I grew up calling Chocolate Dope, it is an OH thing) in them and nuts. To die for!

I need cake now.
Thanks! This is one of my favorite recipes. Reminds me of growing up and my grandparents had a cottage on a lake in MI. We would go up for the weekends and my grandmother either had a Texas Sheet Cake or Iowa Brownies made. It makes a lot and is oh so good!
