Remember my minimalist goal to do planks daily? I slacked off over the holidays, but since I have been home I have been doing them twice a day to catch back up. Now I am even....there are no blank squares on my calendar. Since I am setting my own rules, it sounds fair to me to play catch-up, but I will try to do better to be disciplined going forward.
Yesterday was a cooking day for me. I don't have a creative bone in my body, but once in a blue moon I do like to try new recipes; for example I made peanut butter dog biscuits as a Christmas gift for my pet-sitters.
Last month someone at the health-food store was giving out free samples of flavored hummus.....avocado hummus, and sweet potato hummus. They were good but pricey. I always make my own hummus as it is easy, cheap, and healthier. Now I add an avocado to the mix when I have one on hand. It is fantastic! Try it sometime. It makes it rich and creamy.
I also made oven-baked sweet potato fries for myself, and some extras as sweet potato chews for my dog. She absolutely loves them.
I tried making a tempeh chorizo sausage recipe which I give 2 thumbs down, but maple glazed marinated tempeh....2 thumbs up.
That's it for my experimentation for the week.
I was talking to another friend today who is a commercial artist and is going to start selling her work on Etsy. When she retires, she will fill her time with art. I wish I had a marketable talent like that. She asked if I did crafts....I've tried a few times, but never seem to finish anything. Nothing has grabbed hold of my attention for long other than reading, which is fun but not marketable. Her junior-high age son runs with us sometimes. He plans on being a physicist some day. He is quite sure of his goals. I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up!
I love asking kids what they want to be when they grow up because I'm still looking for ideas.
