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.

    Both dishes look wonderful! I'm glad you had a good visit with your sister-in-law. What did you think of "Nebraska?"

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Oh yum, Olga! This looks scrumptious. It's raining right now and I'd love to have these dishes.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
