Enjoyed a delicious fried clam lunch with fresh coleslaw, Carla enjoyed a delicious lobster stew at Bob's Clam Shack in Kittery ME.  The place was crowded, since Maine and Massachusetts celebrate "Patriot's Day" today and kids are off from school in those states.  Then it will be leftover seafood casserole tonight.  It was the best one I've made yet!   8)

The clams were pretty fresh and with bellies....where the flavor is.  The tartar sauce was also really good.  Normally I eat clams with ketchup......but, lately I prefer tartar sauce.

  I like to use tartar sauce when I make tuna salad at home, it makes it pop! :pow:

Helped WolFish make a delicious pot roast for Easter with potatoes, carrots, little whole onions and gravy. The good part was the eating of it.

  That sounds delicious.  Any left?  :puppy:

Why yes actually, what'll you give us for it?  :angel:

Sounds fabulous!  We had a ham with roasted potatoes, carrots and kale from last years garden efforts (I blanch and freeze. We have two twenty five cubic foot freezers in our garage for just such or the odd hunting or fishing trip that proves fruitful)

*drools* The veggies in ours weren't from the garden. My onions did really poorly this year for some reason and didn't develop, even though last year we got a row of little ones. Not sure about next year since we are househunting and probably won't be able to get things into the ground in time. Fingers crossed we can find a space for a better garden though, with higher quality soil. The soil in our little patch at this place is tainted by exhaust from the railway that runs on the other side of the fence, and the row of bushes along the fence have roots growing through part of the area the vegetables might grow.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

OY, that must be harsh near a rail line.    Especially, in the area of Montreal......the start of planting season must be around early June?  Where we live is around mid-may (seacoast NH).  Our chives, which I transplanted is already sprouting, despite a foot of snow 2 weeks ago.  Even the mint and thyme is showing signs of life.

It can be sooner than that. The tulips are coming up about now and people are starting to turn over the soil in the community gardens. But I'm not an expert by any means.

I'm no expert either.  Mid continent temps can be more predictable more than seacoast temps.  I just learn as I go wherever I live.  Around here the climate can vary by just a few miles.

Finally got my front passenger side tire checked out and fixed.  It's been having a very slow leak, which while it didn't go flat, did trigger the low pressure sensor.  And during warm days it held pressure well, it was only when it got cold.  I thought it might be pothole related, but, turned out to be some kind of staple as reported by the technician.  Fortunately, it didn't cost me anything.  Thank you "Town Fair Tire" in Somersworth NH.    8)

  I read an article online discussing the ways people sabotage their success.  One excellent point made
  was that we often resolve to take up some new pursuit without fully acknowledging that we will
  have to lose a part of our current selves in order to make that dream come true.  The author (David Wong
  of Cracked.com) pointed out that few of us have actual "free time"; even our downtime is generally spent
  doing something we enjoy, even if it's unproductive.  So my reluctance to engage more actively with the
  world makes more sense to me: in doing so, I'll have to give up some of the freewheeling lazy time
  that I find so rejuvenating.  I'm not just being lazy; I'm resisting change because it could deprive
  me of something (unstructured time) that I feel a need for.  Can I do it?  I dunno.  :dunno:
