Yesterday’s Breakfast

August 11, 2022

I'm still in the "experiment with hominy" mode. Yesterday morning I asked Vince if he was ok with adding some hominy to breakfast burritos. He's a good sport when it comes to my food adventures. We have less than a quart of milk left til the milk man comes on Friday so cereal is not happening which means breakfast gets cooked and we have juice to drink. I've mentioned before that we have ...

Freeze Dried Potatoes

August 11, 2022

Potatoes are one of the things I had not yet tried to freeze dry but it seems that many people were doing them this year. I kept seeing blog posts and Facebook posts about freeze dried potatoes so I figured . . why not? We got those 10 pound bags of potatoes for $2 each from Food 4 Less so I didn't have a lot to lose. Most of the people who had already tried them said they preferred to use them as ...

Oscar Playing

August 10, 2022

Oscar makes probably 500 circles around the living room per day . . maybe more. We encourage him to keep going . . this wears him down and when Oscar is tired, Vince and I can get a few moments of peace. The other night he had been going and going and going. By the time I grabbed the camera, he was starting to slow down but this gives you some idea of his energy ...

Shortages

August 10, 2022

While none of this is funny, and I'm certainly not making light of it, it's almost comical to see what's going to be in short supply next. So much of it makes no sense to me. I understand worker shortage, supply chain issues due to lack of dock workers, transportation issues, etc. It doesn't even really matter why it's happening, since most of us have no control over any of it and can only try to ...

Denise Witch Progress

August 10, 2022

Yesterday I made good progress on the green witch. It's such a fun and relaxing stitch. Those big swatches of color go so quickly. Denise's pumpkin is all outlined and ready for solid orange stitching. I'll probably work on the Judy pumpkin today. I started at the top left but once I finish the bottom "border" or ground - I'll start on the Judy pumpkin and work up from there. Last night I ...

Yoctosun Head Light/Magnifier

August 9, 2022

This morning all I wanted to do was cross stitch but that's pretty much every morning. I went out to water the garden and it was a bit cooler than normal and I've been needing to add more dirt around the plants. Vince pulled over some bags of dirt for me so I did that, then fertilized and watered. I came in, propped my feet up and sat for about an hour. Vince left to go to town so I hurried ...
