Trip to Menards Depot and Home Depot completed successfully ...
Peeled and cored 6 Granny Smith apples and helped the Woman with food prep before I headed out.
And was rewarded with 6 homemade Apple Dumplings when I got back ...
:
... which SOMEONE had been sampling during my absence ...
On my return The Woman threw the Roast Beast into the oven and while that was cooking I went ahead and repotted the "Majesty Palm" I scored at the Depot:
About 52" tall and was on sale for about $13 ... so it seemed like a pretty good deal. Only problem is the fronds look a little too much like blades of grass and that @#$% Little Squeak wants to eat it. Fortunately it's non-toxic. Hopefully it will grow fast.
And picked up enough plant food that I think we're probably covered for this growing season ... save for the lawn. Also got 8 quarts of seed starting medium.
Also picked up a variety of pepper seeds, although they were completely out of green bell:
Woman keeps complaining that
"... nothing has any flavor ..."
Maybe some of those will spice things up a bit ...
Once I had the palm tree repotted I came in from the garage and the Roast Beast was ready to be carved which I then did:
Woman complained that it had no flavor (of course) ... and said She was probably just going to become a vegetarian ... unless She could learn how to cook meat ...
I told Her Don would be delighted and I would let him know.
Personally, I thought it was delicious ... along with the baked potato and green bean casserole. I ended up completely stuffed and there is still probably enough for at least two more meals.
Probably going to see if I can scare up a couple more pots and get those elephant ears planted, then maybe work on a tray of pepper seeds.
But I definitely have a date with one of those apple dumplings later ...
Hope everyone had a great Easter !
