Chocolate Flourless Cake for Lunch and Star Wars

Today was a day for chocolate. Not just a square of chocolate, but something rich and sinful. I had a small dish of pasta for lunch and was not completely full.

I walked to the kitchen and decided on a chocolate flourless cake. It only took a few minutes to make and even less to cook.

While I was waiting on the cake I began working on my grandson's Star Wars Legos together...all 232 pieces. It was a project I had dreaded, but my 4 year old grandson could not play with it unless it was glued together. I had already put it together once while my grandson patiently watched and waited (a 2 hour project). Now I was going to disassemble all pieces and start again gluing each piece together. He is so Star Wars crazy and knows most of the characters by name. This is the second Lego Set that I have glued together and it is definitely my last. I do not want to see General Grievous or LEGO® AT-ST™ ever again. Time to actually get busy and work on my website Shoppingtosave.com. Maybe I will even have time to work out and watch "Little House on the Prairie".

Breakfast: 1/4 of large spelt bagel w/butter and jelly, 1/2 c. blueberries, coffee

Lunch: 1 small serving pasta w/ basil pesto, 1 pc chocolate flourless cake, green tea

Dinner: guacamole salad, 3 hot wings, glass of red wine

Until tomorrow,

Lonna

My First Organic Garden

Oh how a longed for an organic garden! To go right outside your door and pick the freshest vegetables and fruit.

This year I went for it! I planted tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, pumpkins, watermelons, zucchini, squash, butternut squash, lettuces, basil and dill.

The jalapeno peppers are doing better than any of the other plants. Mostly because what bug in their right mind would eat a hot pepper. Worms are getting my collard greens and the birds and deer are getting my tomatoes. I won't mention the hourds of rabbits that descend upon the garden at dusk eating everything in sight. You would not be able to count them as they all skip away with full stomachs.

I never knew this was going to be so hard. I thought that I would plant a few seeds and out of the ground would sprout a bountiful garden that I would pick the freshest veggies and have them for dinner. I am starting a winter garden in the next two weeks. I have added a fence around the garden and mixed a rich organic compost with the dirt. I have also added a compost bin so that I could recycle my veggie scraps.

We shall see what will become of this organic garden. I hope things will get better.
