These are the ones I like, and I absolutely love that they’re now sold pretty well near year round and not just at Easter. i wasn't keen on the micro version .. i like the mini version though. 1 Link to comment

Every part of my body aches. I'm getting too old for this crap. Now it's going to be living in chaos until we get everything organized. Although once the kitchen is done then most of the mess will be taken care of. That's good.. sorry it's been hard. Glad you got moved. i know unpacking isn't too exciting either. 3 Link to comment

I get 1 creme egg a year since I was diagnosed with type ll. But somehow I always end up wearing the filling. 4 Link to comment

Edit: Judging by the pic, I can’t see as they’re any different looking than the minis. My grocer has a lot of these eggs on display, so next time I’m there, I look to see if they have the micro ones to see what they’re like. Edited March 30 by Reader1810 2 Link to comment

Mikiesboy Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 I have to get some sympathy cards today. A dear friend's father passed away last night. He was 96 and had lived a very full life. He'd been in and out of hospital for the past year, so i suppose you could see it coming. Still, it's sad for our friend and her mom. I can't imagine life without Michael, let alone someone who I had been with for 70+ years. She said in her email, life has to go on ... yes it does but ... i don't always have to like it. 5 Link to comment

I am sending you hugs. I’m sorry. 5 Link to comment

Thinking that way just shows how much you love him and want to do your best for him. Mike’s a lucky man. 4 Link to comment
Mikiesboy Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Walked over to the shops with Michael. Dan has gone to visit his family. i'm feeling a bit low but i am gonna make two loaves of bread for the week and mint sauce. We used to just buy mint sauce which was great, it was just a bit of sugar, vinegar and mint but the last time we bought the same brand, we noticed they have started to thicken it. It's disgusting. i hate the texture of it so. Gonna make my own. Maybe i'll try and root some of it and add it to my little garden. It was busy and i didn't fancy walking to the dollar store to grab a sympathy card.. so i found one in Metro for only $8.99. Really? Hmm.. maybe time to see about doing that myself too. i'm tired of being ripped off for everything. Right, make bread and mint sauce. 5 Link to comment

Oh boy.. lol i grow thyme, basil, oregano and parsley .. the thyme likes to spread, but the other three aren't so bad. But you need to pinch them back often. I see a lot of mint juleps in my future.. dried mint, and possibly gallons of mint sauce...lol 2 3 Link to comment

Oregano, on the other hand....oof. I pulled up all of the original plantings I could see, and I'm still finding little pockets of it, years later. Edited March 30 by Page Scrawler 4 Link to comment
