Before heading out to grill, I tried to do a little work. Somebody sent me a slide (Mac Keynote format) that I needed to transfer to a power point, and that turned into an odyssey of updating the OS X on my work computer to Yosemite, and getting the new Keynote. Of course Yosemite bleeped out the java version my older Photoshop needs to run, so I had to re-install that too. I left my computer updating; when I got home from Grilling the giant 5-gig download was done, and I set it to install. Graded a few students on my home computer downstairs.<\/p>\n<p>We went to see Boyhood at the cheap theater &#8211; it was as good as all my film buff friends were saying.<\/p>\n<p>Came home, checked in on the computer, and we had leftover <a title=\"Mac &amp; Cheese\" href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/recipes\/mac-cheese\/\">Mac &amp; Cheese<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/oldragspasta-338x450.jpg\">pasta<\/a> and a salad for supper. I can&#8217;t remember if it was Friday (after a dinner of egg salad sandwiches and chips and onion dip and salsa and carrots and celery) that I indulged in ice cream and chocolate sauce, too late at night, on top of the crumbled up <a title=\"Hootie Swirls \u2013 peanut butter chocolate brownies\" href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/recipes\/hootie-swirls-peanut-butter-chocolate-brownies\/\">Hootie bars <\/a>that came back from Chicago, another Super Bowl-party-that-wasn&#8217;t-leftover &#8211; or if that was Saturday. Somehow I thought I&#8217;d fit in a walk, amidst all that on Saturday, but no.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday started a little off &#8211; I tried to walk and got scared back in because it was icy. Feeling guilty, I cleaned all the cat boxes and put down new newspaper, and did laundry. I made fancy steel cut oats for breakfast, and then just worked all day.<\/p>\n<p>Mark and I finished the Hootie bars with ice cream and chocolate sauce for Downton Abbey and the Grammy&#8217;s &#8211; but I ate all kinds of other junk too &#8211; finished the onion dip, with sweet potato chips, wheat thins with egg salad, and a Trader Schmoe&#8217;s chocolate covered marshmallow or two &#8230; feeling sorry for myself, so eating to make up. The TV kept freezing, and I couldn&#8217;t even go to a web page on my phone. Missed Annie Lennox at the Grammy&#8217;s and everyone on my Facebook &amp; Twitter said she was the best. So I watched <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/pobF8Jm85ZU\">her on my phone on Monday<\/a> morning while I drank my coffee. I did a 10 minute Barre 3 workout and walked to campus &#8211; more exercise by 9:00 AM Monday than the whole weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I never got around to testing the burner from CSA Fair Share to see if it works, and I never bought light bulbs. And I never made veggie broth. I remedied two out of three Monday night. The burner doesn&#8217;t work &#8211; it started getting hot, but then just tripped the outlets in my kitchen. I&#8217;ll have to use my almost as old as me Farberware electric Dutch oven for the soup cooking demo at the garden Expo this Saturday. And I made veggie broth and vegetable soup. The broth had a whole host of vegetables past their prime &#8211; parsley and cilantro (the giant bunch I brought back from Chicago) and carrot &amp; celery sticks, and a sprouty potato. I used some of the same for the soup &#8211; the better parts &#8211; onion, carrots, celery, parsley and cilantro, peeled and trimmed potato, a few lentils, a spoonful of miso, and most of a carton of diced tomatoes frozen last summer &#8211; the rest went into the broth. The miso and lentils made the soup rich and brown.<\/p>\n<p>Think it&#8217;s time to shower and get in pajamas and figure out how to re-watch Downton on Apple TV &#8211; we missed dog butt last night because of the freezing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9946\" style=\"width: 348px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bottomofvegbinsoup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9946\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9946\" src=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bottomofvegbinsoup-338x450.jpg\" alt=\"Bottom of the vegetable bin soup, with lentils\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bottomofvegbinsoup-338x450.jpg 338w, https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/bottomofvegbinsoup.jpg 488w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9946\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bottom of the vegetable bin soup, with lentils<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like I didn&#8217;t have much of a weekend, because I worked a lot.
