Leftovers

I enjoyed the visit with my sister-in-law last week--walking, talking, shopping, taking in a movie (Nebraska), and going out to eat.

I had a left over rotisserie chicken, leftover salad greens, leftover vegetables.  So this week I have been eating...guess what?...leftovers!


Chicken on a bed of baby greens topped with a farro, grape and apple salad.  There is a slice of avocado tossed in there as well.

And I made a lovely chicken soup.  It was good today when I got home from the horse barn.  It was not so cold, but really quite windy.  Also, it was a particularly large and a particularly, shall we say, energetic group today.  Team literacy was wiped out by the end of the morning; I can tell you that.  Whew!

So a hot shower and a hot bowl of soup were two very good things.

  3. I'll be having the soup tonight with chicken clubs. Then, I'll make chicken salad for some additional meals. Sorry to hear it's windy for you, but if you were home, you'd be having a blizzard!!

  5. You do come up with beautiful food.
    We have been eating turkey soup for the last three days, made from stock I made earlier and froze half of.. So lovely to have a hot, fragrant, comforting soup with so little work beyond the initial cooking. Now I have to come up with a new dinner plan.

  8. I grab so many leftovers that I am starting to feel like a homeless person. Even at the senior center they ask me first if I want to take home something from the kitchen that wasn't eaten by the rest. I definitely do not look like I am starving, but they must know that I don't cook much for myself. Your leftovers look wonderful.

  9. My husband and I never waste food - leftovers are a way of life for us (not so for our grandchildren). Buried in snow here in CO, that soup looks might good!

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
