Last night I gave into our desire for comfort food, since our weather has been gray, cool, and rainy lately and made hamburger patties and macaroni and cheese. It hit just the right note with my husband, and he declared the meal ‘delicious’ several times.
Mostly we are trying to watch what we eat in an effort to lose our lard, get as healthy as we can, and be able to continue doing most of what we would like to do. We have found two places locally who are offering REAL FOOD and STU’S CLEAN COOKIN’ – individual frozen dinners with few ingredients – all of which you can pronounce and understand – with measured portions that are GOOD for us. We feel as it we have found a treasure trove.
Particularly when the weather is good, I like to spend a lot of time outside – working in our veggie garden, gathering harvests of lettuce, spinach, radishes, yellow squash, zucchini, broccoli, onions, and tomatoes each time I can for us to enjoy right from the garden. Much of the time I am helping with the lawn or weeding my flower beds, so it’s nice to have veggies from the garden and a good-for-us delicious dinner that only has to be nuked to be ready to eat.
As soon as I finish here, I’m planning to go out and take pics to share with you, hopefully harvest my first gathering of veggies, plus get things ready to cover the plants for some possible freezes this week.
I hope that you are well and happy this morning, and that your Sunday is a nice one.

Things are definitely getting better around here. We have repaired or replaced several things, and the list of things remaining on that list is definitely getting shorter. The porch/shutter/roof-soffit seal project is coming to a close very soon and I’ll be able to get the things piled on the deck cleaned up and put back on the porch, put in our donation pile, or thrown away. The garden is in and survived the latest hail storm.
I have NO excuse for feeling ‘down’ and unmotivated. This is not like me. So, even though it is anatomically impossible, I am at least giving myself a VIRTUAL kick in the rear to get up and get SOMETHING accomplished until my regular upbeat-ness returns.
In this endeavor, I will set ONE goal for the day. Today’s goal is getting the vacuuming on the first floor done – the carpet on the first floor includes the living room, foyer and office. Tiled areas include the pantry, dining area, kitchen, hallway, utility room, and two half baths. If I get this finished, I may set another goal for the day.
I’ve always been a PRO-crastinator, but enough is enough.
