Happy 2010!
Happy New Year! We are not party people and did not see the new year in. We had a delicious dinner of leftover smoked mojo chicken that we made into tortillas with sour cream, cheese and I whipped up a little guacamole. I had some lime flavored Perrier with dinner.
We watched Rear Window on tv, it was over at 8:00! Nothing else really on the tv, so I continued working through my library books. I'm not sure exactly when I fell asleep but it was before 11.
This morning we woke at 5, the cats now expect a morning treat so there is a swarming when the lights go on. I throw out treats and then read the paper and have tea. I was in the habit of reading a daily devotion and writing in my journal, but I got away from that. I miss starting the day that way, so I started this morning. After the treats.
I was starting to fall asleep again about 6:30 and would have gone back to sleep for a morning nap, but we had dinner to start. This is the second use of the Big Green Egg! Today's meal is pulled pork and since we worked out a timeline on Thursday, I knew we had to start dinner at 7:00 am. Remember, I was a project manager in a former worklife.
So into the shower instead of under the covers. Got the pork out of the refrigerator to sit for a while, started the charcoal and got dinner on at 8:00 am. It was too early for breakfast so I planned my menu for next week.
I'm not one to make resolutions but I really need to use up pantry, fridge and freezer items. My grocery list is short. Currently I have 4 items on it - cat food, poblano pepper, tomatoes for salad, salad. That's it. That will take us to Saturday when we're meeting family for dinner out. And I have to be careful if we go to Costco. No food!
So far the Big Green Egg is wonderful. The sun is shining, hopefully no frozen anything from the sky or even wet anything, so we should be on track for dinner. We're having pulled pork sandwiches, sauteed spinach and applesauce from the freezer.
Yes, it was dark outside when we started dinner.
Now might be the time for that nap.
