On renovations, grin as you saw at the picnic, I have that porch in spades!
Mine was done on the picnic table on the porch.
On the stir fry, tonight it's flat italian green beans with garlic and
mushrooms in olive oil. Main dish will be garlic parmesan alfredo over egg
noodles with sliced kielbasa and garnished with shishido peppers and strips of
red bell peppers.
Should all be good!
