I haven't had corned beef in ages. Now I want some

Found it at Walmart. I told hubby i think we should eat it at least once a month. He said its hard to find except near St. Patty's day.

Here is my new hanging basket.

Yes! I have a pizza stone that will fit on the BBQ and the BBQ can be uses as an oven. It is one of the features that I want because I can use it to bake when it is 110 here in the summer. The Oven makes the house too hot

My BBQ is my oven. It works great..
Let me know what you think of the pellet. How well it retains heat etc.

Ron, This is great for those hot days or when you're camping. When I was younger I used to camp a lot, but sill like good food

Good Morning Friends

Congrats on getting the run fixed up Michelle

Love the elephant cookies DMC!

Diva I thought it was good luck if their trunks were facing a door?

Blooie .. love the story of how your mum handled the bills! Note to self: need to buy a lazy susan

Kelsey I hope the coop and run plans went well. Looking forward to the pics!

Debby great news about the restaurant opening!

Hubby has a cold which he has lovingly shared with me; he is coughing and hacking up a storm but I am only early stages at the moment, hopefully I will not get too bad. Also, fingers crossed FIL does not get it

Not a typical Sunday for me today because I do not have to do the housework which I did on Wednesday So, trip in to town for the big weekly grocery shop and home to water. Still tossing up whether to water the lawn .. we had some rain overnight but not enough but we have the chance of showers for the rest of the week. Of course, if I water the lawn, it will rain all week and if I do not water the lawn, it won’t rain I will decide when I get home. Other plans, rest and relax and try and not get too under the weather with this cold.

The boys lost the game but the umpiring left a lot to be desired and they did not give up so it was not an embarrassing thrashing.

I hope the cold stays at bay

Mixed emotions about your news, Debby! On one hand it’ll be nice to get the uncertainty off your back. Bon the other hand, that means you get to spend less time with us! Pick me up, Diva...you’ll need a guide and I’m volunteering!

I second that sentiment.

Oh and in my hurry to get everything moved before dark and carrying too much at once, I think I hurt my back. Doesn't hurt too bad atm though thankfully. I tried to carry two cinder blocks at once.... bad idea lol the water is on a regular cinder block with the holes and then one of those like few inch ones except that one only has holes on one side and is solid on the other so turns out it's heavier than the big one... I thought oh it's small so it will be fine... yeah no.

I only managed to carry it like half or 3/4's of the way before I had to drop them and carry one at a time.

I can't carry two 50# sacks of chicken feed, one on each shoulder anymore. Last time I tried, I felt in my back. Since I have has back surgery, I don't want to push it.

I will! I put it all together tonight and will fire it up tomorrow. It is a nice size!

We had corned beef and veggies. Super tasty.

Sounds good!

I've never really had it because I thought it gross but I had it this year and it was pretty good. Had to choke down the cabbage though lol

He's probably right. It's everywhere in April. Other times, not so much.

Oh wow! I can barely carry one feed bag and certainly not far lol I have to get a wagon or drive it back.

Cinder block was probably a bad idea. But I also probably lifted it wrong. just like bent foward ha

I make it following prudome's recipe, but would buy up extra when it went on sale after st patty's day and can it. I also dehydrate my extra root veg, so all I need is fresh cabbage and onion and I can have a new england boiled dinner anytime of year.

I'm very interested in How Ron likes it. I've got a half dozen friends who've tried it and there doesn't appear to be any middle ground... They either love it or hate it. My DS swears by them.
