What Can You Get for $1.33?
Written by admin on March 14th, 2008A new bundt pan and a fairly recent (1/08) issue of Country Living.
Glad I stopped by the thrift store while I was out.
Yesterday was slow and my knees were hurting all day. I just could not push myself to do much of anything except what I had to. I did pick my first wild salad of the year.
It was very good. There’s some iceberg lettuce in there for filler 
, but also a lot of violet leaves, garlic chives, dandelion and chickweed. I probably needed the vitamins in it more than I knew. By last night I was fully sick with whatever my daughter had last week. I think it’s the flu. Now I know how bad she felt last week and I’m glad I took care of her. She also said, “It hurts to walk.” I won’t be able to work today. Sigh. It’s rest and fluids for me.

Love your new bundt pan. I think cakes taste better baked in a pretty shape. It’s the whole, “We eat with our eyes first” thing.
Feel better!

Thanks! I was really looking for a tart pan, as I don’t have one. This bundt pan is so heavy. It’s really nice.
My fever’s been about 101 - 102 all day, so I’m not doing anything but sleeping and drinking fluids. I did eat a bit of chicken soup. I don’t feel like sitting up. It’s back to bed soon. Hoping to be better tomorrow.

Oh my, the salad looks divine! Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit yucky.
Love your 1.33 thrift finds!

Patricia, the salad was very good. I look forward to making them all spring, especially with the lettuce I planted and that should be coming through soon.
Thanks for the well wishes. I definitely have had the flu. I’ve not been this sick in awhile. It sure makes one thankful for good health.
