A nap, then, making more chicken pot pies.\u00a0 I have the various skills down now, so I make it up.\u00a0 This one has a leek, onion, garlic bottom with a layer of chicken topped with corn and peas, all drenched in thickened chicken stock made from Kate’s boiling the chickens.\u00a0 40 minutes or so in the oven and we have\u00a0 future lunches, dinners ready to freeze and one ready to eat.\u00a0 A lot of standing, the only part about it I don’t like.\u00a0 Otherwise the cooking is a creative act for me, one I enjoy.<\/p>\n
I haven’t been outside today since I will neither shovel nor plow these thick snows, heart attack snow.\u00a0 It’s just too clumsy and heavy.\u00a0 Besides, the snow will melt before it is anything more than a nuisance.\u00a0 Glad we live in the burbs where we have no sidewalk on days like this.<\/p>\n
Looked over my plan for my Thaw tour and I plan to keep it the same.\u00a0 I’m not sure what happened last Thursday.\u00a0 Might have been first time through jitters or somehow the chemistry between me and the group didn’t click.\u00a0 Something.\u00a0 If it happens again, I’ll assume it’s something to do with the tour. Then I’ll look at change.\u00a0 Of course, I’ll still be in the equation.\u00a0 Wherever you go, there you are.<\/p>\n
A friend is in this photograph in front of the Swedish Institute.\u00a0 He’s on the left in the blue vest.\u00a0 This is the Minnesota Santas group at their pre-season social event.\u00a0 What would a five year old think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
