The Elvis Sandwich

I'm not one for watching foodie TV, and if I happen to be watching something, I *never ever* try making any of the recipes!  But on my last trip to visit mom in January, we happened to catch something (maybe on Rachel Ray??)  where they showed how to make an Elvis Sandwich.  For some reason, this appealed to me!!!  

So mom and I started digging around, and came up with the ingredients without having to make a trip to the store:  banana bread, peanut butter, fresh banana and bacon !!   We decided instead of breakfast, we'd make them for brunch  ......

We sliced the homemade banana bread, and fried up the bacon.  Then we began assembly, slathering on some peanut butter, adding fresh banana slices, laying on the bacon.  Each sandwich was then seared in a buttered pan to help keep the banana bread a little on the crispy side.  

Mmmmm MMMmmmm MMMM!!  

They were delish! 

I'd make these again in a heartbeat.

Today, mom and I were laughing about making these creations when I was there.  It's not something we'd ever do again, but it made for a nice laugh! 

Treadmill and Painted Rock

 I have been trying to commit to working out on my treadmill every day.  I've been successful three days in a row, so I'm happy about that.  However.  On the first day, I pushed really hard.  The next day, boy was I sore!  But that didn't keep me from day 2 or day 3.  Now it's day 4 and I've had two difficult work days in a row.  I'm tired. So I'm going to take a break today.  I've got my 10k steps in for today, and 113 active minutes.  So it's rest time for me :)

But on the other hand, I'm going to sit down and paint a few more kindness rocks.  Yesterday, a mother and her son found some of my painted rocks in the park and this is what she said:  "My son loved the hippo one!  I had to bring home the one that says 'Where flowers bloom so does hope" to my nine year old daughter who fought brain cancer in 2020 and got a clear scan the other day."

This is the exact reason I paint rocks :) :)
