(Catching up with recent photos...had a small "whoopsie" on the 13th... )
Easter Eve I made Hot Cross buns for the neighbors and some for Ken and me to have with breakfast... Avocados from our tree and mimosas with fresh-squeezed orange juice from our trees... We're blessed and appreciative... I hope your Easter was a nice one as well. Our attitudes can change everything...
Your brunch looks perfect! Love your hot cross buns too. There is not a teaspoon of yeast in Texas. I am on King Arthur’s waiting list for a pound of yeast. Hope to get it this year. 🤣
@radiogirl The avocado and citrus trees are decidedly a perk for putting up with Orange County traffic grids on a more typical day!
@louannwarren Do you mean I could sell yeast on the black market?! I have a pound that I opened to use for the rolls... It's expired by 18 mo, but I proofed it and it works perfectly. And when Costo co couldn't deliver a 25# bag of flour, but offered 50, we said, Why not?! ...the latter cost only as much as I paid for a 10# bag on sale a couple years ago in NS! Crazy calculations for crazy times! ...I'll see if I can't help you out...
@pamknowler I did not know that!!! I'd be heartsick if we couldn't have them! They're fairly plentiful this year, and we even have two more volunteer tangerine trees with flowers on them! Our yard is a veritable Farmer's Market...
@Weezilou you are truly blessed with your fantastic yard keeping you so well supplied! I am getting to the point when I really need some fresh fruit! The little general store had a few apples but that was it. Normally I would be buying strawberries and nectarines! I may have to venture out to a bigger supermarket!
@Weezilou just typed an email to you and for some reason it won’t send! I’ll check it out in the morning! Yes I’m awake at 4 am! One of those nights! Xxx
Oh, how very tasty - especially for us as we're on a vegan diet at the moment, given that our vegan son is temporarily staying with us. Oh, we'll be having bacon when he's gone! ;-) To be honest, we could have it now, but I know there would be a disapproving look, even though he would never say anything! Avocados and oranges from your trees? How fantastic!
@filsie65 Oh, that's priceless...and ok...I didn't mean that as a pun! We planted that tree about 40 years ago, and it produces more with age! Believe me, I'm most grateful to have it!
@jamibann We sent the Massachusetts grandkids a box of avocados and blood oranges...I love their enthusiasm and excitement in the photos Heather sent to us!
@pamknowler When I see notes from you late in my evening, I know you're having another sleepless night! You be careful on the uneven ground in the dark! And yes, I got your email; thanks!
