Cooking

We had one heck of a storm last night. Winds howling and raining buckets. But it did not reach a freeze level. 

I did a quick shopping yesterday so I could make a few meals for the freezer.

Yesterday I made Chicken Parmesan. I used 3 chicken breast and by time they cook up they are about 3 1/2 oz each. I had one for dinner last night and boy that was really good with a little angel hair pasta. I put the rest in little corning ware dishes with the left over pasta and put them in the freezer.


Today I had a surprise visit from my daughter Debbie and she brought her granddaughter which of course is my great granddaughter I am having trouble bringing up her picture. I will try again tomorrow. But oh what a happy baby, Mili was a delight to have here today. Always smiling and so cheery. Mili has never seen me before but greeted me with a big old smile.

After they left I worked on my next meal Eggplant Parmesan, and that was so good too. I didn't make any pasta as I don't want to be eating all the carbs. I had some for dinner tonight and put the rest in more freezer containers. I used less cheese on this one.

Tonight they are saying freeze and from the looks of it it will be down to about 28 - 30 so I went out and made sure the faucets outside were covered good. The one behind the house was covered but it was soaked so I changed it out to a dry cover.

I guess I will leave the little heater in the kitchen living room area on low tonight and let the water drip. Don't need any problems. Although that isn't all that cold I would rather be safe than sorry. Even Fred has a blanket in his man cave . He really doesn't like the cold at all or as everyone knows he also hates water. 

Tomorrow I really need to get to DMV and renew my license as they expire next month on my birthday. I almost forgot since they hadn't needed to be renewed in years. At one time as long as you didn't have any tickets you could renew on line but not anymore you can't even to a change of address on line now. They want a new picture every time you make a change or renew. cha ching cha ching.

Good Night All

  1. I think I have until Jan 2019 before I have to renew, and I hope I can still drive in the remaining years. I don't know if I'll even try to get it renewed.

    I pulled some soup out of the freezer yesterday that I had forgotten about. It's good to have things cooked ahead of time for when you don't feel like going to all the trouble to fix a meal.

  2. Hi Gypsy,

    I wonder how long this license will be good for. It's nice not to have to renew every year anymore.

    I like having prepared meals in the freezer been doing it since about 1999 when I joined weight watchers and hated to cook when I got home so I would eat anything good or bad.

  4. Hi Sondra,

    Thank You. I know sometimes I really love cooking and other times I don't want to bother at all.

    The freeze is still on for a few more nights but it should start to warm up and the days will be in the 70's. Love daffodils don't have them here
