At the store yesterday the white marshmallow bunnies (Peeps) wanted to come home with me. So I checked the tiny print, they are sugar and gelatin and, well, sugar, and bought them. Look, kitty! bring no more bunnies into the house! we already have bunnies! Sometimes the magic works.
Dinner was: Chicken (boneless skinless frozen) baked in lemon juice (lemons in the fridge needed juicing) and freshly ground pepper; Bread dressing (cubed bread crusts from the freezer, chop & microwave an onion and some slightly wilted parsley, pour over some chicken stock thawed from the freezer, thyme and salt and whatnot, mix well and pop into the oven) with gravy (a bit of the fat from the top of that chicken stock again, with a little butter & flour, then more stock); oh yeah then some Sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed and covered and into the oven. Juice a grapefruit, sit down for a drink and watch Peter Jennings tell the news while it all cooks. Tonight, still cleaning out fridge, planning something like a sort of chinese chicken soup, maybe fry up some egg rolls with cabbage etc in em, make that fruit salad (open a couple cans, dice half a honeydew melon, section a couple more grapefruits, and with all that citrus I can put in some apples that won't turn brown).
Today I am doing things and checking off items from many tiny post-it lists, and generating many more post-its. It is not a flow experience. So I am taking a break.
