Thoughts on blogging

I don't seem able to keep this blog going on a regular basis.  I'm not sure if this is because nothing in particular ever happens in my life, or I just don't think any of of it is really worth reporting to the world, or what. 

Not really complaining, I like my quiet life.  But  perhaps I really do need to pep it -- and my blogging -- up a bit.

So, have the day off from CN and time to do some fun things.  Washed all my scarves and hung them outside in the sunshine and fresh air.


I enjoy my scarves.  It is an easy way to pep up an outfit and in fact, stretches the wardrobe enormously.  A nice pair of navy slacks and a white t-shirt can be turned into  many different looking outfits with different scarves.


I think I have too many..... need to check if I really wear them all!


I also like to combine them.  The light pink and the dark pink one go well together, and the dark pink and the teal one, too, for example......

Now, on to food!  One of the grocery stores had a sale on chicken breasts last week.  I think I underestimated just how many 24 skinless boneless chicken breasts are......

One package of three got frozen "as is", two got a barbecue sauce marinade, and one got a Weber "Kickin' Chicken" rub. (Love that name!)

The remaining 20 got cooked and then chopped.


You end up with a LOT of chopped cooked chicken!


Here we have one sauce cooling while the chicken, peas and carrots wait to get added.






This is chicken in curry sauce.


Two bags of chicken curry and two of filling for mini-pot-pies, to go into the freezer.  The mini-pot pies are made in muffin tins.  Can't wait to try them (when it is cooler and I don't mind turning on the oven......)


Two meals of chicken a la king and two of chicken and broccoli.  Had the latter last night and it was far too watery.......

There is still a bunch of chicken left over which will get tossed into tonight's chef salad, and Kitty got her share as well. Far more than her share, actually......

So that is what I have been up to lately.  Plus continuing to clear out the basement and everything else I can.  (WHY do we have all this STUFF????)
