I have been busy putting in my garden. I can only to plants in pots on my narrow strip of deck - otherwise the deer and the groundhogs eat everything. This year I am concentrating on herbs and flowers. The tomatoes never work out - either they don't produce much or they do and the squirrels eat them. The peppers and eggplant never seem to be worth the work. So this year everything will be pretty, have a lovely fragrance and some of it will taste good.
Tonight I made "Sunday Dinner". I know it is Sunday and what else would I make - but when Paul said he wanted Sunday Dinner he meant he wanted a traditional Sunday dinner. Roasted meat, a vegetable and a starch. Gravy was always appreciated.
A roast chicken is always a good choice because then there will be options for more dinners during the week. I was going to do something more interesting than a baked potato but I ran out of energy and inspiration. The green beans (I love Trader Joe's green beans) I made with the same Shallot and lemon dressing that I used for the asparagus salad last week. I poured it over the hot green beans and let it sit until all else was ready. It was a room temperature by then and was perfect.
Have a happy healthy week.
