February 7, 2018 Brain Dump in February 2016

So, here it is, nearly 11 AM and I am still in my pajamas. I slept nine hours last night and feel much better for it. The diarrhea is over. Outside, the paths are wet although at the moment it doesn’t seem to be raining. The temperature is very close to 50 degrees and the sky is grey.

There are three items on the to-do menu for today. The first one is to do a bit more on the reorganizing of the freezer. This task is taking longer than I thought it would. The second one is to continue reading. I am rereading Donna Leon’s police procedurals which are set in Venice, Italy. The third one is to cook something–anything– in the Instant Pot. Leftovers are good but I am in a cooking mood today. I have been wanting to cook something for several days now but since I only think about this at my evening meal, I am usually so hungry I eat a leftover from the freezer!

I have my eye on a recipe which used chicken thighs and rosemary but I am not sure I actually have any rosemary so I may have to find something else and add rosemary to my shopping list. I may make a meat loaf because I know I have the ingredients for that, or maybe a cottage pie which I make as sort of a meatloaf with lots of mashed potatoes and cheese on the top and I do have potatoes that need to be used up!

I will not be watching football today. Or, actually, ANY day! LOL! I know Jake is going over to a friend’s house to participate in the ritual!
