Where I'm going: We have only two appointments this week. TBG has a 3 month follow up with his cardiologist and we have a follow up with our lawyer to sign our wills. Both of those should be a breeze.
What I'm watching: I didn't watch anything special this week on TV. Our crepe Mertle is in full bloom and it's more gorgeous this year than any other times. We had rain a couple of times this week and it perked everything up.
What I'm listening to: I usually always listen to music when I'm home alone working around the house. I have a very diverse taste in music. This week it was Fleetwood Mac, Kid Rock and Annie Lenox.
What I'm eating:
Even though it is hot as hell outside I was craving chili, so I made a batch, and we had it with garlic cheese biscuits. Culinary Adventures with Lori: Savory Drop Biscuits
Chicken legs, mac and cheese and salad. I halved this recipe for the mac and cheese. It made two perfect sides for us with just enough left over to make a few mac and cheese balls for lunch one day. Culinary Adventures with Lori: 52 Recipes in 52 Weeks #11 Stove Top Macaroni and Cheese
BIG salad with Coho Salmon
Thursday, I heated up left over chicken legs for TBG and made a pot of rice. I had chocolate pudding. I am so glad I made homemade pudding Wednesday night because that's all I could handle. Luckily, we went to breakfast before I had my teeth pulled so I had at least one good meal that day.
I heated up LO sloppy Joe's that was in the freezer and cubed a couple of potatoes to roast int he oven. It was the first solid food I had since Thursday morning and I am so glad I was able to eat it.
I'm not sure what is on the menu for tonight, but salad is out for a few more days.
Who needs a good slap: No one comes to mind
What is making me smile: Checking things off of my to do list. I managed this week to clean and straighten up the laundry room, the hall closet and the laundry room on top of everything else that gets done in a week.
As soon as TBG and I have our daily game time, I'm off to do a bit of dehydrating and odd jobs around the house. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend doing what makes you happy.
I'm recovering from my recent trip to the winery. After I checked my finances, I'm very tempted to drive up there again next week and use the tasting room for a writing sprint. You'll see what I mean at the new blog.

Yay, welcome back my friend!! I'm on my way to check out the new blog now.
DeleteGlad your procedure was not terrible. I might enjoy a day of just pudding!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad there actually was little pain involved but I still hope to not have to do that again. The pudding was a lifesaver and very good.
DeleteYour little town sounds wonderful. I wish there were more small shops around here - just a couple small family produce markets are all we have.
ReplyDeleteGlad the procedure wasn't too painful. Take care and stay cool!
I really do like our area a lot. It's nice to know I have access to so much good food grown here. It wasn't painful but it was stressful and uncomfortable for a couple of days. I'm just glad it's over. You stay cool too.
DeleteSorry about the dental issues. I do remember the terrifying sounds when I had just one of my wisdom teeth pulled at age 40. What an adorable shop that is! We don’t have anything like that here. There is one popular farmers market in the national park, but their prices are terrible, so I refuse to go there. Most of their products, I can get at my local grocer.
ReplyDeleteYes, the sounds were horrible.
DeleteSorry you don't have a good farmers market or other places to go. Our farmer's market is very well priced. I've been keeping track of what I get and spend there this year and I would have paid far more at the store and not gotten the quality I did.
I live in a small town too and it's awesome. I was the same way when we first moved here not knowing if I would like it or not. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else now.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the dental issue. The sounds are sometimes the worst thing.
I'm glad you also enjoy living in your small town. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else either. The sounds were horrifying but it's over and I'm glad.
DeleteI love those little shops too. Around here we have a couple of small shops where they have "honesty boxes" and you just leave the money for what you take "honestly". It's great to support local businesses isn't it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love them. Most here have honesty boxes or Venmo for payment.
DeleteI'm glad your dental procedure is over and you are healing well. Yes, the sounds can be the worst part of it! I don't know if where I live is considered a small town but we like living in this area. There is a farmers market every Saturday which is nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, the sounds were the worst!! It's good to hear people say the are happy where they live. I think it would be miserable to live somewhere you don't like. I'm glad you have a farmers' market that you like too, they are so nice to have.
