Granny's gone and done it again

forbidden by who??

Everybody, lol!
Even the refrigerator complains! I'm afraid I'm like the Sorcerer's Apprentice, I would just cook and cook and so much food would get wasted. They tell me to stop cooking until they eat up all the leftovers.

I want to toss out the rest of the turkey which wasn't all that good when it was fresh, but DH doesn't want me to! It is five days old!

Elijah's in Poplar Bluff tonight, being a shepherd in our church's live Nativity Scene at the Coliseum. It's indoors. It's part of the city's annual Christmas festival thing, it's a regular madhouse.

I’m not as hungry this evening, so I kept it simple.
Chickpea pasta smothered in a browned butter, milk and cream cheese sauce.
Sprinkled with a bit of salt.
Two sides: cottage cheese with a generous dab of Manuka honey and artichoke hearts marinated in olive oil. ( I bought the artichoke hearts )
A cup of homemade pine needle soda.
The soda is easy to make. Harvest some white pine needles and nip off the ends that were attached to the tree. Take a quart jar and cut the needles in half lengthwise, put into the jar, add 1/2 cup sugar and fill with water. Shake until sugar dissolves.
I failed to nip off the needle ends on this batch and it ended up being too piney in flavor.

Look at that amber color!

The whole meal was ready to eat in twenty minutes from when I started, minus the soda.

Note: Cut pine needles in half like any sane person and scrap the “cut lengthwise” idea!

Yah, I was thinking ... cut in half lengthwise??? What, I should start at noon? I'ma gonna need a sharper knife. And better eyeballs! The artichoke hearts look delicious though, and now I want some. Guess I'll settle for some Spanish olives instead. BRB...

I love that mug, btw!

Add me to the list. Couldn't get comfortable. Arthritis doesn't bother me till I lay down at night for the most part then it's 'let's make the old woman suffer so she can't get to sleep' time. Got up at 2 and took some pain meds, laid back down and finally got to sleep about 3. Up at 7:30.

@Granny Hatchet. It was your birthday? Belated best wishes girl.

Today's been fun. Went to run a load of laundry through the washer. Then discovered the washer wasn't.....washing that is. DH pulled it out and we did a trouble shooting on it. Managed to do a system reset on it and it's working. Seems like the sensor for the autofill setting wasn't working. It is now but we turned off the auto sensor just in case. I don't think we've had it that long. Maybe 8 years and its an Amana. Just don't make appliances like they used to.

I want to buy a commercial speed queen

I feel a little foolish talking to an empty thread but maybe someone is lurking.
I'm supposed to get dressed today and go turn paperwork in to Versailles and Lauranceburg. Its not happening. I'm just not ready to face the world even for my own good. All Im doing is making myself feel worse with guilt by not going.

Toss that thing before he makes everyone sick! "accidentally" drop it when you take it out of the fridge if you have to or feed it to him if he insists but you know as well as everyone here your gonna end up with food poisoning.
