Slow Day

[susandennis]

My day didn't start that much later than usual but it sure feels like it did. I can't seem to really get going here. I'm working in little spurts.

I just put some chicken thighs with some rice into the crockpot. I would have loved to have had an onion and maybe some other veggies to toss in but none could be found. I have an apple I can bake up later to go with. That will work. I tried to look up a legit recipe but holyfuckingpopups batman. Join my mailing list, follow me on instagram, watch this video, see this useless popup that does nothing but get in your way.

I can see old timey recipe books coming back into fashion. Recipe websites are just too fucking painful.

Plus, I don't have any of the ingredients they want. I tossed in some spices that I had on hand and sealed her up. 7 hours - ish. I'm hopeful.

Yesterday I wore a dumb looking fleece beanie around all day. I actually liked the feel of the fleece on my head so today I'm going to play around with making a beanie that isn't stupid looking. I also have a flannel shirt cut out and ready to sew up.

I might wander up to Starbucks for Holiday Drink #2 this afternoon and I might not. I feel like I should get out and do stuff but when it comes time to get my shoes on and go, I can't come up with a reason why I should or why I want to so I just mosey on back to this chair and entertain myself here instead. I can't think why that's so bad.

Oh and here's a photograph I snapped this morning. The pool where I swam is part of a recreational complex. On the way out is a basketball court which today was set up as a toddler parking lot. It tickled me.



Also it tickled me that I was able to get such a great photograph from my Pixel 3 through glass into glare. Wow.

Not sticking to recipes and just tossing in what I have is my specialty. *lol*

My usual approach when I'm cooking something that's not in my regular repertoire is to look at several recipes for suggestions about what to include and temperatures/cooking times, and then go with what's on hand that I like and that isn't going to be an immense amount of work. Generally works out OK, although the cooking time suggestions can be all over the map.

And yes, those cites are beyond annoying. They obviously are designed by the same people who do restaurant sites.

I rarely follow a recipe. I might use it for a base idea, and then just toss in what I think sounds good.

That's a great photo. I feel inclined to pick one, only to be diosappointed that I won't fit :D
