Love some asparagus in the spring! Gonna try some roasted in the oven for once, have a chunk of chicken going in, so might as well! I'll share if it comes out good!

Have you ever had asparagus eggs Benedict? That is a staple at New England diners in the spring!
That sounds wonderful! :)Quote:

I have not, but asparagus on toast was a spring staple growing up! And I am afraid the time for me being able to have anything Benedict is over, as Hollandaise has lemon juice in it, which I am horribly allergic to!Quote:

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! Ymmmmmm! I need a hot cocoa as the office is a little chilly today and maybe some chocolate mini Easter eggs. Like the Cadbury mini eggs.
It's 83F here at the moment; hot chocolate does not sound appropriate. How about a chocolate martini?
Wow, or how about "frozen hot chocolate" for you? That's a silly term DD uses for their "frozen cappuccino"-like drink they serve in hot weather, why they leave the "hot" in the middle of the term, instead of saying "iced chocolate" or something, I'll never know! ;)
Stopping in to check things out......
I am on a wi-fi connection and I do not have the patience for pages to load, so I have been taking a timeout from posting.

I think I would like a Peppermint Patty, sugar free of course.
How's about a green chile casserole for dinner tonight.
Also, what is this March Madness thing I have stumbled upon?
DONE?
And speaking of chocolate..............
Has anyone tried the new(?) Philadelphia brand chocolate/cream cheese spread? It comes in white, milk, and dark chocolate. I'm no chocoholic, but this stuff is addictive. My DIL likes to spread it on toast, but I can just eat it by the spoonful right out of the container. Yum - yum - yum!! :D
Next round of chocolate is on me.
Just got a new roof put on my back porch this morning. It blew off last week. Nope, no tornado, just an average KS 50mph wind gust or several over a few days made it give up the Ghost. :D:love:
I have seen ads for it but have not tried it yet ... or read the label to see if it is Karen-safe! Sounds yummy, in any case!Quote:

I'll wait for chocolatier ones to be restocked - but the white chocolate, at least, was Karen-safe, so that's a hopeful sign!Quote:

I was thinking of ways to eat it last night - a dollop on a big strawberry, on apple slices, on a brownie, like some people like frosting on brownies. More suggestions are welcome! :)Quote:
