Tired Tuesday

 Tuesday night, I baked 20 sweet potatoes and took the skin from 18 of them. We ate the other two. I have a nice bowl of sweet potatoes that I will freeze on Wednesday. I want to freeze enough in bags to make sweet potato bread from my pumpkin bread recipe and to make sweet potato pie from my pumpkin pie recipe. Plus, I want enough for our T-day dinner or a sweet potato casserole. 

Dinner Tuesday night--Tommy had chicken, sweet potatoes, and English peas. I had chicken, sweet potatoes, and kale. It was a meal fit for a king or queen. 

I talked to Linda, the neighbor, for 90 minutes on Tuesday night. (Tommy told me the time when I asked.) She is funny and nice.  We have plans to make plans. She has had no luck finding anything at the Senior Center here, either.  

Since I bought two 9 pound turkeys on Tuesday, I put one in the freezer and one in the refrigerator to thaw. I can put one in the oven on Thursday, I suppose. These were $0.49/lb. Plus, they were small, both about 9 pounds. It was an ordeal getting the food arranged since there are 9 or ten cartons (half gallons) of milk. Tommy did most of it. 

Monday night, I started reading Beowulf in bed, but that is going to be my book to read in the living room. This is a brand new book I got from a free bookshelf. I have no idea what I will take to bed tonight, probably something from my box of books in the mail. I had gone to bed without looking for a book and did not want to disturb Tommy, so I found Beowulf. I read a large portion of this in the undergrad English Survey class, I believe. I need to get Grendel's Mother and read that when I finish Beowulf.

Have you read Beowulf or any portion of it? Are you a fan of Beowulf?
