I am eating strawberries on top of sour cream biscuits. Not bad at all.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I made a new slow cooker recipe (ganked, ashamedly, from Sandra Lee, and then I tweaked it.) It's chicken and noodles, basically, and I made wheat rolls (frozen) with it, and it turned out SO WELL, and was fairly easy.
I'll do the recipe later, if anyone wants it, but I am checking site while eating and then I have to get back to grading.

not your mom's socks.
HKF asked for some of the zucchini frittata I'd made in the middle of dinner. So after picking myself up off the floor, I changed out her plate, and she ate what we ate, without the traditional fight, for two nights in a row. I'm amazed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Between the 91-year-old and the nearly-3-year-old, there was not much actual conversation....
Heh, I've had that lunch.
Tonight's dinner was reheated lentil soup, with a last-minute addition of rice (and extra chicken stock) after I realized we had no bread to sop it up with. It wound up thicker than I'd planned, and was seriously delicious.

I had split pea soup for dinner. Very tasty, but I'm still hungry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is random, but I just folded all of my socks for the first time in literally years. It's kind of exciting! And discovered a pair of tights hiding, so now I don't feel that bad about not doing laundry today. Effing laundry!

Effing laundry! Go you with the socks. I have unfolded socks right now and it's...it's...not so great. ::shame::

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, I gave up folding socks on purpose years ago. I'm not sure what came over me today.

I'm also sometimes surprised at how satisfying a proper portion of something can be.
This has been the surprise of the food log for me. Knowing the calorie count of a portion makes it more satisfying in odd, knowledge is power, sort of way.
I've gotten to the end of my calorie allotment in an evening and actually felt full...just because I know I've had all I need.
Today was a 'cheat' day, so a lot more calories than usual. What's cool is that I'm supposed to have one day a week where I relax, but this is the first one I've actually done in a month. On the other days, I got to the end of my allotment and just didn't want anything else. So, yay!
