Still working hard on the front area. Today we washed the big bay window inside and out, a huge job. Gave manure tea to the rhubarb, newly planteds and the amaryllis. Was going to work on the front pond, another humungous job, but the dining room table was calling me...how DOES that stuff just appear?

Ok, I'm a gal who loves to cook and good food, but I am also into a million things, so make it easy, too! This is my recipe for fabulous stuffing and oh, so easy!

You Will Need:
(1) pkg Stove Top Stuffing
(2) T margarine
(1) lemon

water

Follow directions on package for microwave version. Grate lemon, lime and orange, then cut in half and squeeze juice into the bowl along with the stuffing. Add grated rind too. Microwave according to directions. Everyone will rave. (Be sure to tell them you slaved over a hot stove for HOURS)
