welcome to this week's list of likes... I like pink, and this quilt hangs in the stairwell
This week... I enjoyed TV again. No good dramas on yet, good doctor was bumped. I do like deal or no deal island, survivor, American Idol, So you think you can dance, Master chef junior edition, Spring baking show.
Fine Dining
I tried a new to me recipe for chocolate cake with whole wheat and buttermilk replacing some of the fat. It. Was. DRY and to me not worth the calories left in it. MEH! don't you hate it when a recipe is not good???
I returned to an old recipe that did work out
chewy coconut cookies, half with chocolate chips ( Recipe )
I've made these before, and like them, but this time added in mini chocolate chips to half the dough and, YUM! cookie version of a mounds bar
(I did not like the time change this week. I am not sleepy at bedtime, but very sleepy when it's time to get up, I'm hungry at the wrong times, and so much daylight means people are all out all the time now)

prompt this week
what is your favorite spring flower and do you try to grow them in your house or yard?
I love tulips, all the colors and the shape, how tall they are. I've never been able to grow them however. Too hot in Florida, squirrels at the bulbs in Maryland, and soil/temps inhospitable here in our part of Colorado.
I like Allium for their size, never had one grow in my yard, I like tree blossoms, and now and then I see poppies here

thats our way of growing too LOL... we love the quilt the color has something what brings super good mood...
ReplyDeleteI'm watching Spring Baking Championship too!
ReplyDeleteLove the cranky old lady advice! Whatever gives us joy!
ReplyDeleteI love the old lady advice! I totally agree! Survivor has been good so far, and I'm happy that Amazing Race started last night. So Help Me Todd has become one of my new favorite shows as the writers use a lot of "banter". And the Spring Baking Championship has been good too.
ReplyDeleteTrying out new recipes tends to be very hit and miss for me lately, and it doesn't help that my husband is such a picky eater. I tried a recipe for chunky apple sauce last week - and it was so bland. I tossed the pint or so remaining in the fridge yesterday as neither of us planned to eat it.
Your cookies look yummy! With the snow here today, I might be in a baking mood. I like the advice from the old lady, too - eat the Peeps! (Well, for me it would be M&Ms) Have a great Thursday!
ReplyDeleteHi LeeAnna,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great quote from a woman with experience. :)
Love tulips this time of year ! After a long Autumn/Winter grey wet weather it's so uplifting to see Spring blossoms ! Today the sun shone and reached 17 C ! That's a first this year.
Coconut and chocolate is such a great combination :)
hugs, take care,
Joanne
I've been watching Deal or No Deal Island just to see what Boston Rob would be up to! He's always been a favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove your pink stairwell quilt. I have been chasing my tail so I am just catching up and deleted from my "feed" a bunch of old posts. Sometimes you need to wear the femur bone crown - hysterical. Poor Milo...he does have a hard life...NOT!
ReplyDeleteI hate when a recipe doesn't work - especially when I've put a lot of work into it. I have a number of older friends - I try not to think about losing them too soon. We squeeze in as much fun as we can!
ReplyDeleteAs a 75 yr old, whose best friend and quilting pal passed away suddenly two weeks ago, I second the advice from the 60 yr old cranky woman. Life's too short, eat dessert first.
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers, iris, peonies, dahlias, roses and more. I've tried to grow them all with varying degrees of success. Currently the deer, rabbits, woodchucks, squirrels, chipmunks, and voles make it hard to grow anything. And the wildly frustrating weather doesn't help.
I hope you didn't get too much snow.

Hope you are digging out! Or maybe you didn’t get a bunch. The news coverage made it sound like everyone got snow, but our daughter in Loveland said not much! At least, not Thursday AM!
ReplyDeleteI need to try coconut cookies, I love Almond Joys!
I agree! Whatever gives you JOY! Do that!!”
I love the snowdrops because they push their way up through the frozen ground and are the first sign of Spring here….I love Spring. I love Milo too and if they didn’t look so different I’d say Milo and Milly were siblings 😂😂😂

I am used to making recipes that fail but I think it is more down to my ineptitude than the actual recipe! But I do have plenty of successes too. Hopefully, once I have got to grips with my new cook-pot, I will have even more success.
ReplyDeleteI do love cookies and yours sound yummy.
I love daffodils but have had little success growing them here. Our winters are getting warmer and drier and it doesn't suit them. I did mange a few dwarf ones last year and my Spanish neighbours had never seen them before. Our spring flowers are fresias and blossom.

Well, I am now 60 and sometimes cranky, so I better take that advice, especially the part about the Peeps and the Candy Corn! Milo always has something interesting to say, and for a minute I thought he was channeling something my hubby would say - LOL!!! Thanks for hosting I Like Thursday - I am thankful for this wonderful group of friends who gather weekly to share! Hope your weekend is a wonderful one!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. I don't know if you can get it but we watched 'The Love Rat' this week. It's a really cleverly written story. Great video, love the look of the cookies and always love Milo. Sending hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeletePink has been calling my name a lot lately. I have been pulling fabrics to do a color wheel quilt - not really a wheel but different blocks from just one color each. My favorite flowers are sunflowers but they are hard to grow around here so I usually pick them up from Trader Joe’s a few times a year.
