Warm Weather Musings

I hope your Spring has been grand! As we begin to say good-bye to our 17-year cicadas, we are ready for Summer solstice in a few days. Without my approval, life keeps ticking on. 
I have added some cute, small appliances to my kitchen, all in that mod little aqua color so popular right now. 

Our Zoom Bible Study group of 5 is embarking on some home missions this month.  We're calling our group "Take Heart, Daughter." First project is packing and providing bags for some women's shelters.. I'm also creating a Facebook page to educate readers about charities and ministries that are supported by donations.. it's hard for me to see the difference and demarcactions between those and really good- purposed, commercial organizations... it's a work just barely in progress. 
I had my barn repaired and painted by the same man who remodeled. He's just wonderful!
Had a brunch for my cousin's family to celebrate their 57th anniversary! I think I've  shared this Breakfast Pizza, but I'll do it again.  
So good !
BREAKFAST PIZZA 

2 cans crescent rolls
6 eggs
1 c. half and half
1 c. milk
1 t. Salt
1 t. Pepper
Half pound crumbled fried bacon
2 or 3 c. Shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat ovenTo 350º
Inroll and Press out crescent dough as flat as possible in a large cookie sheet pan with deep sides. You need enough room for all that filling. Bake about 10 minutes until it starts to brown barely 
Meanwhile:
In mixer combine eggs, milks, salt and pepper and whip until slightly foamy while crust is par-baking.
Remove crust from oven. Sprinkle most of bacon over crust. Cover with cheese but reserve about a cup of cheese for top. Slowly pour or spoon custard mixture over the whole pizza and give it time to soak into the corners and dough. It may be hard to get it all in, but usually it fits.
Finally, top with last of sprinkled cheese and reserved bacon. Bake at 350 for 26 to 30 minutes until pizza is puffy and lightly browned and custard is set. 

Enjoy.
(Feel free to add or exchange other toppings and cheeses and spices, such as cooked, crumbled sauaage, minced  onions, salsa, etc. Plain with bacon is just my favorite.)
You know, I really have been struggling because it feels like I've been body-dumped and left for dead... Not much about myself resembles the person I was for 69 years and 5 months. And... I'm not a good friend or admirer of this new chick who inhabits my body. Lol... In fact, most days I don't speak to her! And when i do, it's with such contempt! But Girls, she is just so clunky and out of it! Lol... 
If you have any suggestions, fire away! My plan today is to bake something and then cook something to have for the weekend. I need suggestions! Do you get tired of your own menus?

Hi Gayla. I'm sorry you feel out of it. The world and everyone in it just goes on living, doesn't it? I have been fortunate to have not yet suffered a loss like yours so I don't know what to say except, just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Keep moving forward. God has a plan for you, in this stage of your life! No doubt in my mind. xoxo
