OT – Just Silly Pictures - cjs - 07-11-2016
I don’t think I have ever marked so many ideas in any of the C@H publications as I have this issue of Fast & Fresh!!

Took this yesterday – Roy working on the deck portion of what will be our old-fashioned front porch across the front of the house. IF it’s not raining this afternoon, we should be able to have a glass of wine ‘on the deck’ later….

Can't wait to hear your reviews from Fast and Fresh. I will get it out also and find some that Ron will like.
Good picture of Roy! I'm so envious that he is so motivated to always be building something. Your new porch sounds great.

Does Roy build stone walls? Jack had 3 pallets of wall stone delivered 5 weeks ago and has yet to start on his project...
I'm sure that, [i}eventually[/i], it will get done, though. I'll bet that your porch is finished before my wall/ patio extension, Jean!!

Probably will be Vicci - Roy seems to have to dig his heels in and get these projects done. I just have trouble sometimes keeping him focused on one at a time.

Great pictures Jean! Having a front porch . . . oh how I envy you.
Re: OT – Just Silly Pictures - cjs - 07-11-2016
and, he finished the decking, so we had a glass of wine there,

We had a version of the egg salad wraps, but 'doctored it so much I can't review the recipe. Starting with using eggs I had marinated in Bread & Butter Brine for a few days. Those are so darn good!! But, it is a great 'later' snack for us.

and, one more silly one - Roy's wine holder -

Re: OT – Just Silly Pictures - Mare749 - 07-12-2016
That's hilarious!
Looks like your porch is really coming along.Beautiful red leaf lettuce, Jean. Makes such a pretty presentation. Wish I knew what I did wrong with the pickled eggs. I put 5 in a jar of brine from my favorite b&b pickle and let set for 3 days. Tried one the first day and it had not picked up any real flavor yet. By the 3rd day when I tried one, they were "rubbery" and still had not picked up much flavor. Any ideas what I may have done wrong?
Re: OT – Just Silly Pictures - cjs - 07-12-2016
They do get a tad rubbery, but I usually chop or slice them so can't really tell. Don't know why your's are not picking up the brine. huh.
