Since moving, there are many activities that have fallen by the wayside. In the last few weeks, here are a few that I've been working to revive...
Home cooking, involving more than just pasta or rice. I have a hard time cooking when I'm nauseous, and I'm more nauseous when it's hot, so guess what happened... No cooking. In the last few weeks, though, I've made homemade pizza (success), Spanish rice (success for the adults), and enchiladas (another success). Fortunately, returning to cooking also means James has a greater supply of leftovers from which to choose his lunch.
Making bread. This morning, I mixed up a batch of "Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a Day." Tonight, I bake.
Grinding wheat. I haven't ground wheat since before we moved.
Pathetically, peeling carrots. I went to the grocery store today and bought another bag of carrots. Then I came home and peeled the old bag, relieved that carrots survive in the crisper drawer so long despite my neglect.
Next up, some yard work!
Until next time, remember, this is not paradise. It's Purgatory Ranch.

ReplyDeleteI'm trying to catch up on cleaning today. I have a long way to go, but dusting makes everything seem a little happier (and just a little sneezier). It's so nice to feel a little better!
