Even though the temp was in 60s on Saturday, the chill breeze made me cold. It was so strange. It seemed that in the middle of the day under a cloudless sky and so warm, I should not be chilled. The breeze should have been more tropical and not like a north wind. I even wore a scarf with a sweater!
I wanted to look for yard sales and find scraps of two-bys for a project. I found three yard sales and we looked all around. I stopped at one and think I wasted $1. The house that is being repaired that I have watched for ages finally had someone there. The guy implied I would steal. Nope, not going back there. I would rather buy wood!
The drive was pleasant. There were no crazies on the road, so that was good. Back at home, I watered paperwhites and he later watered the pansies. I got nothing else done, but there is tomorrow.
I washed the seals for the glass dishes and bowls and he dried. There must have been 30 seals! We are so exciting with the things we do.
On Friday, I made meatloaf. We had meatloaf and a huge salad with some of the free cheese from The Pig. Today, I cooked a huge bag of chopped spinach. For dinner on Saturday, we had meatloaf and spinach. I fried one small potato in a smidgen of oil The fries were horrible. If I had used an iron skillet, it would have been better. One portion of meatloaf is frozen for another day. That is three meals from two pounds of ground round. We had meatloaf seconds the first day, so it should have been four days of meals.
I was working in the big freezer, removing a turkey breast and needed to put one item on the counter. Hours later, I discovered I had left meat out. So, that will be dinner on Sunday or Monday. Now, I have a turkey breast thawing in the refrigerator. At $0.99/lb last fall/winter, it is bargain meat.
When I was looking in the freezer for turkey, I found two pounds of pecan pieces. They weren't lost, I just kept forgetting to get them from the rack on the door. I really want a pecan pie. I will leave off the crust, so it will be a bit less carb-filled. I never made a pecan pie this fall. I kept promising Tommy.
By favoring my right hand, it is somewhat better. There is still a dull pain in the back of my hand. But, I have used it a bit today. I only folded part of the laundry from yesterday.
Sunday now
So far, at four o'clock I have done nothing. NOTHING! I managed to sleep 8 good hours, woke, and two hours later took a two-hour nap. What's wrong with me?
Tommy has zero desire to watch Superbowl. Nothing about it interests him. This weekend, I have seen really good movies--A League of Their Own, The Notebook, The Sandlot, and Police Squad with Leslie Nielson. There is not much decluttering to be done with only my left hand.
Tonight, I will cook Wahlburgers in some onion soup mix, yum. The green bean casserole that I never made for Tommy at Christmas will happen tonight. He wants the fresh turnip greens I cooked last night with this meal.
This Sunday post is really late.
Have you seen those movies? Did you like them? The Notebook was off-putting, mostly.
I found 8 Wahlburgers that had gotten pushed to the back of the freezer. I only cook them on the grill though. They are delicious.
ReplyDeleteI had 8 Wahlburgers in the refrigerator. Tommy said I had four in the refrigerator and then I put in the four I left on the counter. He thought I was going to cook them. He actually saw meat on the counter for hours. We ate only two on Sunday night. I may cook all 6 tomorrow night. I do wish I had a grill. Maybe I should get a George Forman.
DeleteI haven't seen the Sandlot, or the Notebook. Every time I have started to watch the Notebook, it looked sad and I didn't know if I was up to that, so I'd switch it off thinking I would watch it another time, and never did.
ReplyDeleteI hope your hand gets better soon.
susie,
DeleteI liked all of The Notebook except for Rachel McAdams acting. She seemed almost manic most of the time. I hated the way she threw her head back and laughed. I got tired of her quickly. I do appreciate a young woman experiencing freedom, but she was just too much. Other than her, it was a great movie. I was only sad at the very end. James Garner was great. Thanks.
What are Wahlburgers? How do you make them? Or do you buy them at the store?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE "A League of Their Own"!!! Everyone in that movie was great!
Never saw "The Notebook." At least I don't think so. I keep seeing the end of some movie that has James Garner trying to resurrect the memories of his wife with Alzheimers, I think. He get through to her for a few moments and then she starts screaming because she thinks a stranger is in her room at the nursing home. Is that it?
I secretly love "Steel Magnolias." Although it's a tearjerker.
I detest Adam Sandler in everything but The Wedding Singer. The man is just not my cup of tea; I don't like slapstick comedy. That Drew Barrymore is adorable, though.
Sue,
DeleteWahlberger brothers company with restaurant--walburgers, food truck and burgers in the store. Remember Donnie Wahlberger? These were given to me.
A League of Their Own was spectacular!
That was The Notebook you were watching. Yes, love Steel Magnolias, too. I have not seen Adam Sandler in much, sI love Drew, too.o probably not a fan.
