Oldie and Goodie

Yummy Sunday

I turned a small room fan on last night because it has been so warm. And I refused to turn on the AC. It was 85 degrees today, I think I heard that it broke a record for warmest on this day. We should be getting ready for our first snow but there's none in sight. The winds move in tomorrow to lower the temps but then back up into the 70s next weekend.

We got up and made our bacon and eggs to start the day. I made a cup of butter coffee and sipped about 1/4c. Mr. J stopped by to visit with Kev before he headed off to work and Susan arrived as he was leaving.

An old favorite resurrected

It was n odd but lovely visit. Odd in the sense that I could not decide what to do. I really didn't want to craft or do anything artsy. I made a cup of tea and we began watching Poldark, some of season 1 since Susan isn't caught up. We stopped midway to prepare some lunch and never finished the show. Lunch, however, rocked. We made Chicken Bacon Rice bowls, which I used to make often for me and Kev, and had forgotten about it. I didn't use any onion, but rather onion powder to keep carbs down, and added in less diced tomatoes than called for. Still delicious. Susan riced the cauliflower like a pro.

Good TV watching food

Dany came to join us around 2 and they both left around 4:30. I cleaned up a bit and finished vacuuming upstairs before it was time to start dinner. I made a batch of 6 stuffed burgers in the oven (not as good as on the T-Rex) but doable and settled in for a most fantastic evening of TV. It started with a new Masterpiece called The Durrells in Corfu. A family that up and moves to a small Greek island in the 1930s. Mom called to tell me to watch, not realizing that I've been waiting for months for it to premiere. And it was as good as I thought it would be. I immediately set it to record. Poldark was next and as usual, it rocked. I just adore it so much. After downing two burgers I put away the leftovers, cleaned the kitchen and watched a little news before heading to bed to read some Outlander. I am now at 70% completed with book 6. Woo!
