What's Fresh in Idaho? Interesting Chart

Yes, I love potatoes. Yes, I love Idaho. But we don't harvest them year-round for fresh delivery to the people. Same goes for apples and onions. All are still tasty, but they're not a just-picked crop in all those months.

Easter Leftovers, with an Olive Twist

Egg salad. Chopped, boiled eggs. Mayonnaise. Dijon mustard. Salt. Freshly-ground pepper. Green Olives. Perfect lunch.

Looks Aren't Everything

 What a delicious-looking pot roast. Onions, garlic, shredded carrot, beef broth and a Williams Sonoma braising sauce. Potatoes added a few hours later. My kitchen smelled just like Williams Sonoma for hours.

However, even though I browned and seasoned the meat, the whole thing was bland. Lesson learned: The cheater sauce was no benefit for this meal.

Vintage Cookie Decorating Supplies

I found these at the back of my cupboard. Could be more than 25 years old. They contain REAL silver.
