So you're staying with your Grandma? Ask her. She may surprise you.

Yip. Was very boring yesterday.
What's wrong with bread? I LOVE BREAD!!!!! If it's fresh and I have cold butter, nothing better. I could make a meal outta' that too. But today I'm having a TV dinner. I have to defrost the little fridge and that dinner is in its freezer compartment. It's too stuck to the ice to know what it is yet, so it's a surprise lunch!

I love bread too. One of my downfalls.

I am not that big of fan of bread, but once I smother it in stuff like butter, it's not to bad.

It's funny, earlier we talked about toads. As I was entering my garage, in the walkway sat one. I told him, he had great timing.

I hadn't saw a hummingbird all year, but kept thinking I heard one. Yesterday, as we left for Jeff's appt, there it was on these hollyhocks. Sorry, no picture of the hummer.20180611_140033.jpg

That looks amazing! Would it taste good shredded in a salad? One of my brother-in-laws is from Taiwan and taught me about many different foods, but never heard of this one. I’m in south Louisiana, West Baton Rouge, not far from Gulf of Mexico. It’s 88% Humidity now.. Daisy is loving it in outside enclosure. We got back from our trip and my daughter was taking care of her, I swear she grew a ton, going to weigh and measure her after soak and poo lol

I think Allison spoiled her rotten, she is on summer break from LSU and was with her all day. She soaked her 2 times a day and we only ever had time for 1, she also said she ate a ton and pooped a ton. LOL

I'm not sure how it taste if shredded into salad. But I'm sure it will not taste bad. We always cook it, in many different ways. I'm also born and raised in Taiwan.
