A quiet day here at the Knight Hacienda. We went out for breakfast and errands. I did my "ings." (Washing, vacuuming, ironing.) Planned this week's cooking. Went to Trader Joe's for a few groceries and CANDLES, which we will need if the power goes out this week, although I'm betting it won't. I shlogged my way through a stack of resumes in front of the fire with Roxanne W. Furrperson curled up asleep on my lap.
I finished the pea and bean soups. Two containers of pea soup went into the freezer along with 1 of bean soup. The rest of the bean soup was dinner with mandarins and bread. (I had to go to the local version of Whole Foods to find the dried split peas. Apparently they're not sold in regular groceries any more. Who knows what the beans are! Now they're just labeled "small white beans." Yah, I can see that....) I'm happy to report that because of my intense learn-to-cook project, I've really stepped it up a notch or 2 in the pea and bean soup arena. I was so much more aware of what I was doing and why this time. Nice, since I've been throwing these soups together for (gulp) 35+ years.
A nice quiet Sunday.
No UFOs were finished this week, unfortunately, but I have one ready to work on this week. I may even start working on it tonight. Maybe.
