Last night's dinner - which I didn't record - was a slice of DiGiorno Supreme pizza, raw cauliflower & celery, and wine.
Today was pretty uneventful. I did a few things I didn't want to do, but I'm glad I did -- like finishing my state taxes, changing the printer cartridges, and mopping the kitchen floor. And I did some things I wanted to do -- like making the sloppy joes and cauliflower soup (yummy!) and taking a long walk. And I did a lot of reading.
I also prepared my grandsons' Easter baskets and I'll be heading up there tomorrow. Each of them is getting Star Wars Legos, chocolate eggs, a Reese's pieces "carrot" and a box of animal crackers.
Happy Easter everyone!

I don't have a written-down recipe for the soup, but here is how I made it:
Boiled about two cups of cut-up cauliflower till soft. Set aside, then made 2 cups of white sauce (1 Tbsp flour & butter to one cup milk). Added a couple of spoonfuls of chicken bouillon. When the white sauce thickened, I added the cauliflower, took it off the heat and stirred in about 1/2 cup Parmesan. I adjusted the seasoning with a little salt and pepper.
You could probably use any cheese you have on hand -- Parmesan is what I had, but it seems to go well with cauliflower!
