Never have done the frozen banana thing, but several people in my Weight Watchers meeting do.

Cub Scouts training was very useful. I’ll get the peppers in the oven in a few minute and then get dressed for waitressing at a church reception. It’s in honor of some people of whom I’m very fond, which is why they got the labor-intensive dish instead of cut-up apples and carrots!

My phone is working fine, so far, but I haven’t transferred the data. I just didn’t feel up to it. (I have to wait until my brain is ready to cooperate.)

It has been a much nicer Saturday than I expected, emotionally. Charlie and I had a good visit, but the wind was out of the NE at 6-16 mph, so we bundled up for our stint at the ramada. *sheesh* It’s almost May, fercryinoutloud! 53 degrees in No Las Vegas and 58 here at 0630! *shiver*

The stuffed green pepper was actually very good, and reminded me so much of my mother’s. I cheated and used Knorr’s Spanish Rice mix and hamburger, but it was much better than my last attempt. I froze three of the peppers, so within the next three months, I should be able to use them.

Nothing from my kids this weekend, but that’s not news. SOS. I lied. Hockeybughow just sent me a text! Woo-hoo!

My Third Grade teacher always had carrot sticks after lunch, when she was reading “Thunder Cave” to us. I met her daughter many years later and she still had the book and asked me to do a “book report” for Relief Society. Boy! Did THAT bring back memories!

I use bananas to thicken milk when I want something more filling that meets total daily nutritional needs. Ersatz shake, if you will. You can't beat those 5 lbs/$1 brown dotted bananas for a dietary deal. (That's why I peel them and freeze them. Regular Americans see them and toss them. European doctors used to prescribe them for digestive upsets, especially in babies.)

Hope you had a grand time at your church reception!

Note: my puter plays tricks on me. It eliminates text of its own volition and if I don’t edit every post, it leaves things out and the material lacks a certain continuity. It deleted the part after putting half a frozen banana in the blender, you also add a few chunks of frozen cantaloupe and you have a very nice smoothie. We had a bumper crop of cantaloupes last summer so I processed and froze the blemished ones and gave away the nice ones to friends and neighbors. (They were both hugh and delicious!)
