Just a few moments


Another day has been started. Cold one out there! I went for a walk this morning, pulled a few weeds. Made a very nice lunch Apple stuffed French Toast, and I even ate it! I tend to make food and then throw away. I don't like eating, but I love the making! Tonight I am having garlic chive smashed potatoes, fresh corn on the Cobb, and I think I am going to make a little smoke paprika, a bit of cayenne, a bit of lite mayo. Something a bit different. And a nice chicken breast that is marinating as I write in a bit of fresh garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon peel, lemon pepper, sea salt, and a few dashes of Tabasco. I plan on searing it, then bake it off with fresh herbs. I will try to eat it! Before I could eat, but could of cared less what, now I can't eat, and I love to make everything I put in my mouth. Ironic isn't it!!!

I want to get to the store this afternoon, but I am feeling a bit lazy. I thought if I get a new notebook, I could start organizing my life again (It all depends on the notebook!!!). And pick up a few more skeins of cotton yarn, picked up a check this morning for some dishcloth sets I made. I like mine, they are made in all funky colors, each pack is three different patterns. I guess I better make more, mt stockpile is gone.

I really need to go shopping, fish food is really low, I can't believe how getting a new home for the two biggest Bob's has made that tank stay so much cleaner, and feeding them less has probably helped too! Now it is getting filled with snails. One snail did a immaculate conception in the tank, now I have over a dozen baby snails, and I gave Mckenzie four of them ,tomorrow I will give her a few more, because more will be crawling out from the rocks! I had to let the light in to start building a little algae on the glass, gotta feed all those babies. I can't bear to throw them out, that seems so senseless. I really like having this tank, Now that it is so easy to take care of, and the fish aren't dying. I have not lost a fish since the first four original ones died. And we are going on a year now.

This is what happens when you no longer want to deal with the people you know, you ramble to absolutely no one. It could be worse, I might not have a machine or the Internet to be able to do this rambling.

A Perfect Day

Image
It is foggy and dark outside. A perfect day to let the mind wander. It is a full day of Julia Child today, that's been fun this morning. I will get to the movie, maybe this week. Julie & Julia I think it's called. But I learned the secret of popovers! You learn something new everyday. Don't use a pan, use separate custard cups, leaving room between them for the heat to circle, and that is what will make them really pop up. I think I will make some on Monday, I will be home for dinner, so I will make popovers and a shrimp salad. I will be able to use fresh peas. And I am making pesto, Have everything I need, think I will freeze in ice cube trays, then use when needed. And If I want fresh pesto, I only need to buy a container of basil, add a few ice cubes, made it stretch. Pick Sage to dry also, and I have a sage that is getting crowded out, gonna have to move that baby to it's own pot. And with this rain, weeds are growing again. I am hoping Monday is a sunny hot day
