Nearly 2 weeks of daily appointments convey left me feeling a chip frazzled. I begged off on my walk amongst Sue this morning, together with that's going to earn me the weenie award.
My weenie-ing out was entirely together with hence that I could honour fourth dimension to larn to the grocery store. Sounds similar slap-up fun, huh? There volition move overnice reprieve from our busy summertime adjacent calendar week when nosotros brand a trip to the lake. For now, the trip is but adding items to my to-do list.
All of that to tell I don't convey a lot to tell you lot this morning. I've been working on the 8th of the Snow Globes blocks inward the background. Sometimes I squall back embroidery projects are the entirely things keeping me sane. I dear the fourth dimension I pass inward the morning, focused on doing something minor together with slow. It calms me for the 24-hour interval ahead.
Even amongst that, I've been difficult pressed to honour fourth dimension inward the mornings, together with I've missed several over the by x days or so.
Yesterday, I needed to caput out early on to alternative upward my novel spectacles because I needed to larn dorsum abode to caput off inward the other management for my haircut inward the afternoon. Phew! When I got abode from my haircut I took a nap. We were abode by midnight afterwards our Fourth of July celebration, together with I needed to a greater extent than slumber to brand upward for what I'd missed. (I know you're non supposed to move able to "make up" on slumber loss, but I don't believe it.)
The other casualty of our Fourth of July was our diet. After eating a decease burger (and a brat for me), nosotros both needed to larn serious 1 time to a greater extent than near this whole weight loss effort. We've been maintaining our weight, which is good, but we're both nonetheless motivated to lose some more. I had some CSA veggies to dispense amongst together with made this delicious Beef together with Broccoli Bowl final night. I actually similar that the recipes on the Cooking Light Diet are searchable, together with and hence I tin honour recipes that tally upward amongst our latest CSA share. This 1 used crimson together with dark-green onions, broccoli, together with carrots, together with it was quite tasty.
The recipe is correct here. I'd but add together that when you lot add together the vegetables together with water, you lot postulate to lid the pan inward gild to steam the vegetables. The broccoli together with carrots aren't going to laid plenty inward the fourth dimension allotted unless there's some steaming involved.
Our farmers used to sell shares of beef together with pork every bit a business office of their farming efforts. They've moved to all vegetables now, together with and hence this dish also used some of the remaining beef shares nosotros obtained but earlier leaving on our trip final year. It's surprising how delicious their grass-fed beef has been, together with I'm lamentable they decided to halt that business office of their efforts. Apparently the terms of keeping livestock when coupled amongst the loss of pasture acreage that could move used for farming made it a money-losing proposition. It's surely understandable why they decided to larn a dissimilar direction. It's been fun beingness together with hence some a farming functioning together with seeing the changes they've made over time. This is our quaternary yr every bit a business office of their "farmily."
As I mentioned, today's agenda includes grocery shopping, but I'm nonetheless hoping to brand my way into the sewing room this afternoon. I've been keeping upward amongst my monthly projects, but I'd also similar to deed some of my other projects along. Even so, I'm excited to brand the adjacent color for the Rainbow Jubilee quilt. July's color is red, together with and hence I'm itching to come across how it volition hold off amongst the improver of crimson blocks. Here's where it stands now.
Up until now, I've been making the blocks 2 colors at a fourth dimension inward gild to grab up. This calendar month should move a breeze amongst entirely 1 color to make.
And instantly I'm determined to arrive some irksome stitching earlier starting the residue of my day. I promise you're Fri is irksome together with easy.
