IT IS WEDNESDAY

I meant to blog yesterday but the day just got away from me.  I did a load of clothes in the morning and then we went for a drive after Jim's friend Frank came over.  They sat around and jibber jabbered a bunch and then wet a line at the dock and went out to lunch.  They sure have known each other forever.

Later in the day we were fortunate enough to have Larry over for dinner, we met him last year when we were camped over on 358, he was across the street from us.  He has a lovely home here at Crystal Lake and has been here for at least 18 years. The camp just celebrated their 25th anniversary.  Larry has been blind for 58 years and windowed for the past 6 years.   The neighbor borrowed us their golf cart and Jim picked Larry up. He brought over some of his wonderful wine and we had sunnies - cole slaw salad and potato salad and key lime mango pie. Anyway we sat out and visited, I cooked in an electric fry pan and it went well.  I had fun and I think Larry enjoyed himself too.
He wanted my recipe for my strawberry salad, he remembered it from last year so I shared.  It only has 5 ingredients so it's a simple easy recipe:

PJ’s STRAWBERRY SALAD

Dressing:

1 cup mayo

¼ cup milk

1 ½ TB vinegar

1/3 cup sugar

½ tsp. almond extract

Mix together – keeps well in fridge for days – chill before serving

I use Romaine lettuce but you can use baby spinach or mix both together.  Also works well with a cole slaw broccoli mix. 

I add Strawberries sliced or diced.

I like to add crasins, sunflower seeds, glazed pecans.

Use only the amount of dressing you need for a meal. 

Saves well.

Now you have it too.

You should taste my Kettle Brownies.  Now they are to die for.

I would add it but you have to understand it's all about the butter.  Heart beware.

Do you know I got up this morning and did another two loads of laundry.

Kill me, will it never end.

As soon as Jim finishes his book we will be going to the South Florida Conservancy something.  We can do a boat tour.  If he doesn't get off the book soon I will have to start prodding him.

We have a busy night because we go to the Barbara Mann Theater again. How fun for us.  Jim is so good to me.   When I need him to vacuum or do dishes, he is all over it.  Hey he never misses opening the door for me.  Mac, can you hear me?
