Today I mixed orange juice, freshly grated ginger, and honey and set it to boil. I cut up several mini-carrots and put them in the mixture to cook. After simmering 15 minutes I removed the carrots and boiled down the liquid into a glaze. I put the carrots back in to coat them, and then I served them with meatloaf for lunch. They were amazing ! I will totally be making this again.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Because books.
Oooh, that does sound good, Calli. I don't love carrots, but I bet those were delicious.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My spouse made the BEST beef stew last night in the pressure cooker. Perfect on a rainy evening.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that sounds good, Calli.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Shitcakes. I just put my Fitbit through the wash. This is the second one; the cat killed the first one dropping it down the stairwell.

I've done that and had it live, is it definitely dead?

It really was good. I'm not the biggest carrot fan in the world, but I have a bunch of extra orange juice on hand, and I'm looking for ways to use it. So far, it's been the carrots and orange pancakes. Both good. Drinking the juice straight in quantity makes me itchy, hence the search for cooked alternatives.
I hope your fitbit survives its adventure, Zenkitty.

I can't really go outside because of the rain and wind, so I am making a version of chicken tortilla soup, but substituting Sriracha tofu for the chicken.

I would like to report that the soup is pretty delicious.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That sounds good, shrift. Today I boiled a rutabaga with a head of cauliflower, some carrots and some potatoes, mashed them, and added a block of Neufchatel cheese. It was very yummy.
