The Good ~ The Bad


The Bad: I spilled honey all down the front of my bathrobe.
The Good: My bathrobe got an early spring washing.

The Good:  We are eating a lot more pumpkin and squash this winter (thank you Garden!)
The Bad:  I haven't eaten a fresh lettuce salad in months.



(cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, snap peas, onion, carrots were added last)

The Good:  All of this delicous-ness came from my garden - Chicken Teriyaki was made
.
Homemade teriyaki sauce was made.  This stuff is amazing.  I make our teriyaki dinner vegetarian style, by cooking the organic chicken on the side.  I scoop down into the sauce, and get the garlic bits and cook a few spoonfuls over the chicken. Mmm.  So good.  I make a non-gmo wild rice for the dish too.

The Bad:  We have zero bell peppers in the freezer. No peppers made it into the dinner.

The Bad:  My car broke down on my daughter on her way to work Thursday, and she had to return home within less than a mile.  We couldn't figure out what was making the noise. Thankfully, she made it home safely.

The Good:  A family friend (saved our bums twice now with repairs) came to the house, took the right front tire off and found the caliper came off and bolts had worked their way loose and fixed my car.  It will only cost us to take him out for dinner to thank him.  Or make a homemade dinner here. 


The Good:  Dogs are getting along most of the time with Grand-pup here.


The Bad:  King knows how to tell time, and this is his 3:00pm stare down telling me to feed him, when we are trying to make a compromise with Grand-pup's dinner time.  He hates to wait another hour and a half.  It's much easier to feed them all at the same time.


The Good:  There is still talk of the February craft show happening. It is driving me nuts that they haven't given me a date yet.  I found $7 and a lost crochet hook while doing a small deep clean area.

The Bad:  I'm not getting enough done around here due to the crocheting I'm doing, to prep for it. I need to finish up deep cleaning jobs, organize and be ready for planting season.

What a handsome dog, he has such a beautiful face. Good news about the car, car repairs can be a nightmare.
mamasmercantile, I was so stressed that day, considering we just went through several expensive repairs (and that's with just buying parts, as my Hubby and family friends usually can do the repairs).

I'm almost afraid to post a comment...I looked like such an idiot the last time. :) Your foods always looks healthy, and good! I like the car sign, That's about the truth!

Henny Penny, your comments are very welcome. Yes, the sign is pretty accurate, ha ha!
Rain, we are already talking about what lettuce to plant this spring.

Glad your daughter got home safe and that you have a friend that could help you out....'angels among us"! Teriyaki sounds good. I haven't had that in ages. I feel the same way...so many things i want to get done. Good luck with all of them!
Sam I Am, my vegetarian daughter was eating rice and noodles, so I am teaching her how to cook fresh veggies and make homemade teriyaki sauce. She wants the recipe for when she moves out, it's that good (and much healthier than store bought sauce). It was very nice to have the car repair help. We are out in the boonies too, and no one likes to drive that far to help.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
