Y’all, I’ve never seen asparagus this big! Some members of ours got this from their garden and gave us a bag full. We can live off this for months!

Fortunately it cooks down! Yum!

I just needed a sweet moist cinnamon roll! Being pregnant brings on a whole new list of necessities! Of course around here if you want something you’re gonna have to make it yourself. So that’s what I did, or kind of did.

I Got my flour mixed up.

Got my cinnamon brown sugar filling ready.

Then made these things. They were a bit more “moist” than I’d expected. Makala came over during the roll and cut phase of this process. She got a good laugh watching me try to stop the oozing dough slug from going all over the counter while I cut it into what were supposed to be nice round swirls of goodness.

Here’s how they looked after baking. I have to say, after the disaster I thought I’d made, I was pretty proud of them. They weren’t quite cinnamon “rolls” as much as cinnamon “triangles”, but they tasted like the real deal and fixed my newest craving. Don’t ask about the icing…

I made Tomato Basil soup! It’s not Brenda’s, but was delish I must say!

That’s all.

Friday night we got fancy! It was a balmy 30 degrees, which means one thing in Bancroft, time to light up the grill! Phil threw some steaks on and I made a pasta with a white wine sauce. We felt mighty fine and a little under dressed for our own supper.

This is what I had for dessert! You sure can fix up a box mix brownie with a bit of ice cream, some chocolate syrup and a cup of decaf! Yum!

Here’s the pasta I made the night before but with chicken. My new favorite thing is cooking with wine. I can’t drink it (or too much of it!) but I love to smell it simmering in a pan with some butter and garlic.
