Hi Y'all,
It is warming up a bit here now, whew! How is it on your end?
Looks like we are going to get rain again though! I don't know about
you, but my grass already needs mowing!
We hope you have a wonderful week.

Today's Recipe:
Roasted Vegetable Stacks
This Would make a great Vegetarian entree For Easter
Marinade
1 T garlic, chopped or pressed
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1 T basil
The Stacks
2 large Portabella Mushrooms
4 slices eggplant, 1/3 inch each
1 yellow squash, cut into 1/3 inch slices
2 slices red onion, 1/3 inch each
4 thick slices of tomato (preferably Beefsteak Tomato)
4 slices of cheese (either swiss, muenster or mozzarella or any combo
thereof)
2 T grated parmesan cheese
2 stalks fresh rosemary
Combine all marinade ingredients. Chop vegetables. In a large bowl,
pour marinade over all vegetables except mushrooms and tomatoes. Let
site for about 1/2 hour. Pour marinade on mushrooms only five minutes
before roasting, otherwise they will absorb too much. The tomatoes
don't need to be marinated, it will only make them fall apart.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush a baking sheet with oil. Remove
vegetables from marinade and arrange in a single layer on the baking
sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes or until browned and tender. Note:
tomatoes need to roast for only 3-5 minutes. Keep a close watch on
them or they will completely fall apart when you try to remove them
from the baking sheet.
You can alternatively grill the vegetables.
You can prepare up to this point up to two days ahead of time. Store
the vegetables in single layers between sheets of plastic wrap in the
refrigerator.
When you're ready to bake the stacks, proceed as follows. Oil a
baking sheet and place portabella mushrooms on the sheet. Sprinkle
parmesan over the portabellas. Top with one slice of eggplant, one
slice of tomato, a slice of cheese, onion slice, squash, more cheese
squash etc. finishing with the second slice of eggplant. Insert a
metal or wooden skewer through the center of each stack from top to
bottom. Take a stalk of rosemary and trim off the bottom leaves.
Insert rosemary stalk next to skewer and bake stacks for about 5
minutes or until cheese is melted and vegetables are heated through.
Carefully transfer stacks to serving plate and carefully pull out
skewers.
Serving Idea: You can serve these on a bed of angel hair pasta with
pesto sauce

Expensive Fishing Trip, thanks!
Expensive Fishing Trip
Two redneck guys go on a fishing trip.
They rent all the equipment: the reels, the rods, the wading suits,
the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the woods.
They spend a fortune.
The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything.
The same thing happens on the second day, and on the third day.
It goes on like this until finally, on the last day of their vacation,
one of the men catches a fish...
