Healthiest Easter Candy; Easter; Potato Salad

I have #3 and #4 in the last two weeks. Actually, all these candies are delicious. Well, I have not eaten the first two. Healthiest Easter Candy

This is being written on Sunday as exbf is coming tomorrow. He has a doctor visit for his disability on Tuesday, a free lunch day. This meal on Monday won't be really an Easter meal like I wanted. Carrots, potatoes, and cabbage and onions will be cooked in the oven. Garlic, celery, bell pepper, salt and pepper will season the oven cooked vegetables. I will put in four turkey thighs because they are thawed and need to be cooked.

I also took out a frozen boneless ham because I do not want turkey thighs. It should have been taken from the freezer at least on Saturday for it to be thawed. So, I will put it in crock pot or oven to thaw. We can have ham sandwiches for lunch with leaf lettuce. Maybe I will get a tomato. He can have turkey thighs and I will have ham again for dinner.

I was going to make Easter fare before Easter, but I am waiting until the week after Easter for that. If it doesn't happen on Easter or Easter weekend, what's the difference?

Since it is going to be coldish on Monday, the food will be okay and the oven won't heat up the house.

When he comes after Easter, I will have Spring fare. I have to have my Jello eggs.

This man hates potato salad, so I never make it. I don't think I have had potato salad since I met him in 2006. He becomes loud and adamant about his loathing of potato salad. So, the other day I told him I was not trying to persuade him to eat it, but just tell me calmly what he hated about it.

He hates cold crunchy potatoes. I think he has eaten too much church food. Some of those potato salads have half-cooked potatoes, and I cannot eat those either. He cannot stand cold potatoes. ??? I told him that when potato salad is first made, it is usually hot. He sort of conceded he might eat hot potatoes, just not cold. What else? What about eggs that he hates, too. Nope. He does not want to get those big chunks in his mouth. ???

He has obviously eaten some horrid potato salad and cannot get past it. I also have seen church ladies' potato salad where it looks like they quartered the egg, threw it in the potato salad, and it was not cooked well in the middle of the yolk. Those gross me out! My plan is to take boiled eggs and mush them with a fork until he cannot discern them. The yellow mustard will disguise the egg yolks.

I need to question him about how he feels about eating crunch celery. I may have to whir it up in the blender or just leave the celery out of his portion.

Monday night

And, don't tell me ladies at church or potlucks have never made disgusting potato salad. It is the one thing, in my book, that is not reliable. However, most potato salad is delicious. All the potatoes are gone, so I must buy more. Most of the carrots have been cooked and sent home for him. He got the
majority of the ham. Since I gave him most of the cabbage, I may cook the rest tonight.

This meal was definitely not a spring meal. But, it was chilly today, so it was just great.

He is gone with gallon bag containing everything I mentioned except for the turkey thighs. It is so cold here. I still will not wear socks and shoes. Summer is coming. I just know it is summer despite the cold.

How about the crunchy potatoes in potato salad and raw eggs? Grossed out like me?
