Smiting leftovers at every turn.
This is stretched a bit – but came out pretty much as I wanted – looking at the pink tinged sundown sky between the bare branches next to the front stoop. I think I will use the full size for my desktop picture replacing cookies.
Woke up this morning and started plotting how to use up the sad leftovers in the fridge. I think I ended up with a pretty good plan. The last of the potato gratin and the one leftover baked potato from last night – that was itself the last of the white potatoes from my winter share CSA box; only purple & sweet tates left now – became a giant fried potato cake with bacon bits. I froze the solitary last brat, until Grillin’ for Peace in about 2 weeks. And I just pitched the leftover leftover lasagna.
So for breakfast we had the potatoes; a winter fruit salad with oranges, pear, apple, raisons and a few strawberries & a banana that Mark contributed; scrambled eggs; cranberry coffee cake. Which was a little gooey and underdone in the middle, but still good. And used up another leftover – a container of brown sugar & pecan streusel left from Christmas morning coffee cake.
I went with Mark on his walk, and then worked on my online courses – but only what I can do on my home computer, like setting up discussions. I am saving writing assignment descriptions and recoding slideshows on my work laptop for tomorrow.
I did a little online shopping – got some new good wicking long underwear and a fleece pullover. Somehow the discount worked – the underwear alone was too little to qualify for the extra 25% off using the key code from the back of the printed catalog, but when I added the jacket, it ended up only being $3 more. And I’m tempted to shop some more – dresses.
I made the peanut butter cookies with chocolate stars on top.
Kisses rather than stars on these but you get the idea
So we can have cookies and ice cream in front of the Sunday evening TV shows. And sleep in again tomorrow.
