Amber, snowball fights, baking and the joy of selecting new holiday menus!
To play again!
Undistracted.....
immersed....
fully present.
Yes.
My sister uses Biotrue eye drops.....a pack of 2 from Amazon, for her dry eye dx. I just had little leather pouches made, for us all.... sister's in red, with little phone, eyedrop and chapstick pockets.....hoping it solves her trail-of-small-things falling out her bra, esp in the yard.
Yikes.....the exhaust fan in upstairs bathroom, is sucking wind....just started making more normal powered noises, but clacking, still, a bit. I cleaned it......while off, but it's not normal....might be, for a bit now it's heart started. Another unfinished contractor job.
A friend shared her roast chicken recipe, years ago.....easy, but SO special. Chicken, brined would be helpful, fresh garlic and olive oil roasted over day old torn French bread croutons.....stacked along the pan's side, so each piece is soft, at the bottom. Chewy in the middle, and crunchy at the top.....bread, at the bottom....eats like dressing. Perfection! Sometimes potatoes and thin long carrots. More garlic....rough chopped. More olive oil.....maybe some butter and bone broth, if too dry, at the end.....lots of sweet onions. I'm making that for our small, early Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone here enjoys my Grandma's stuffing, yams, squash casserole recip s....so, it's pretty traditional for us this year.
I thought about Chinese too. I bought coconut cream, honey pecan and pumpkin pies....more special than I can make. It's been a while since we made Grandma's caramel recipe....or a toffee with dark chocolate with nuts recipe. If it's your thing, everyone can wrap their favorite apples in dough, and decorate, for homemade apple dumplings. I fill mine with a cinnamon sugar mix, and baste with cider. I think it's a lovely ritual, I might bring back this year. Happy fellowship...always turns out beautiful and yummy.
To playing, and healing.
Yes.
