 SUNDAY, April 5th:  Church was very good this morning.  It was VERY crowded.   After the service, I met up with Peggy and David and we went to ANTONIO's in Niagara Falls Boulevard. We go there every year and Ilike it, but I do not LOVE it.  They always offer the same stuff, much of it not all that enticing.  The ham and lamb are very good, but I could pass up the rest.  The deserts are not all that spectacular and that area gets very sloppy.  We stopped to see Carrie for a few minutes on the way back to Lockport.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I called Michaelene and we talked for a bit.  She has numerous medical issues and now she needs a new roof.   MONDAY the 6th: I had my chiropractic appointment at eleven. Then I went to the DOLLAR TREE and got a few items that I need.  Also, I got a drink at PANERA's.  Then I went to the Y and met up with Jan and we walked the track for close to a half hour....

 SUNDAY:  I was settling down to watch MEET THE PRESS when Megan called.  Her Aunt Doris passed away and she had to tell her father.  Megan is pretty upset, mostly because when she hung up from talking to Bob, he forgot to hang up his phone (well, end the call) and she heard him crying. Doris would have turned 90 this coming August and was in the hospital, and not doing well.  She leaves 5 grown children and several grandchildren.  When I asked how Tyler is doing, Meg said he is doing great and will be doing an internship in the summer in IOWA.  Some kind of statistics.   Church was very good.  After church I went home to pick up a calendar I had filled in with dates and times in September for going to Lancaster County, PA to see JOSHUA at Sight and Sound Theater.  I quickly packed a light lunch to take with me to Vicki's house to meet up with Vicki, Linda and Andrea.  Our plan was to meet up and start making plans for this tri...

Oven-Baked 4-Ingredient Beef Crescent Squares *Very similar to something I made several times years ago*

    lb ground beef (80–90% lean) 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 8 oz) 1 tsp kosher salt (or to taste) Directions Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish so the crescent dough doesn’t stick. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s fully browned and no pink remains, about 6–8 minutes. Drain off any excess grease carefully. Season the cooked beef with the kosher salt, stirring well to evenly distribute. Taste and adjust the salt if needed, keeping in mind the cheese and dough will add a little extra saltiness. Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared glass casserole dish, pinching the seams together to form a solid crust layer. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom dough layer. This creates a cheesy base that melts into the crust. Spread the ...

 SUNDAY:  Church was excellent today.  I put a note in the collection box saying "it is really hard to hear the announcements with the music and drums".   This was interesting, when Pastor Craig asked Drew to come up on the stage and read from the Bible, but there were a lot of distractions while he was doing it.  After church, six of us went to LaPorts for lunch.  I had the grilled marinated chicken and brought a lot of it home with me.  I spent the rest of the day at home.  I tried a recipe I saw on facebook for a quick and easy and nutritious "cake".   One mashed banana Half cup of cottage cheese One egg Combine well and put in  small baking dish  350 degrees for 18 minutes.  Next time I will add some honey to it and bake a little bit longer. I confirmed with Chickie that we will meet up for lunch at noon at PANERA.   MONDAY:  I called Jan and we agreed to meet at the Y at 11:10 a.m.  I left ear...
