ordered, soil is purchased, and pots are waiting. I went to Home Depot on Saturday and saw some big pots that I really liked. There were a few colors: maroon, blue, and I think they called the last one yellow. It definitely didn't look yellow to me, but there was one in the very middle of all these oversized (and not light) pots that I wanted.
At first I wasn't going to be difficult and ask for help, but I wanted it. I asked for assistance and got it. And while I had help, I also asked for them to get another one I'd been trying to pull down but couldn't reach. Side note: I really like the way those blue ones look in this picture, but they were a lot lighter in person. Anyway, I'm on the way to being ready for planting.
Speaking of self sufficiency...
I'm not a Starbucks regular. I actually think the Starbucks hype is kind of obnoxious, but hey, that's just me. One morning a few weeks ago, I made a stop for some breakfast. These are awesome.
I was determined to find a recipe to make them at home. I found a version for baking and bought the ingredients... except for the monterey jack cheese. I just saw that listed in their description.
Ta dah!
They were NOT the same. I didn't expect them to be perfect, but I was hoping for a little better than this.
By the way, that pan is STILL soaking with that Dawn soaking spray... and it's been scrubbed.
I think I'll stick to the occasional trip to Starbucks. Also, I halved this recipe and it made 12 mini muffins. The Starbucks order comes with two and they're so rich that one is really enough.
I need to go. We've got birthday celebrations tonight and while I managed to get a key lime pie and cheesecake baked and in the fridge last night, I still need to go buy stuff for dinner. The cheesecake didn't look the same as it normally does. I really hope it turns out better than the egg bites.
Starbucks, anyone?
