started with an almond croissant and cheese for breakfast… lunch was a delicious chicken, stuffing and cranberry jelly sandwich on La Belle Baguette sourdough bread… ended the day with ham and scalloped potatoes that a dear friend dropped off…
and I made chicken broth from the chicken carcass…
there is still a great variety of leftovers and ready-to-eat items in the fridge;-)…
the doorbell rang again today… second day in a row… I was expecting this one;-)…
it was a delivery of bread, croissants and hotcrossbuns from La Belle Baguette… the hot cross buns were still warm;-)…
I am going to be in trouble with my doctor if I keep eating bread at this rate because it raises my blood sugar… but I had to have a couple of the buns with cheese for my breakfast… very tasty…
then, for supper I made Frenchtoast using the bread knife and board that my beloved and I purchased at Victoria Beach many years ago…
the knife is made for left-handed people and fits into the tray portion of the cutting board… it is very cool…
been a quiet day, although I did get dressed, lol…
this afternoon, as I sat reading in the living room, the doorbell rang… sounded odd as the doorbell has not rung for quite some time…
on my steps was a brown bag with Happy Easter on it and a dear friend standing on the sidewalk… she had made hot cross buns … which she does every year, and usually brings to our Monday night gathering closest to Easter…
she was dropping off these treats to each of our doors so that we could enjoy them;-)…
I couldn’t wait and warmed it up, buttered it and enjoyed every bite…
I was able to finally download a program that will gather and save my photos… I’d tried a week ago to make this happen, but clearly the desktop did not want to cooperate…
another new piece of technology for me to learn how to use, lol…
today I got it installed on the desktop and it is currently collecting photos… will see how it works tomorrow…
been noticing that how we use our time has changed in this covid-19 period of our lives…
apparently I couldn’t have started my retirement at a better time…
in conversations with friends we’ve talked about how it doesn’t really matter what bedtime we have, because for many of us, we don’t have to get up at a certain time…
last night was an example for me… I went to bed at 8 in an effort to get rid of a nagging headache… I woke up around 1, still had the headache, and couldn’t get back to sleep so eventually I got up, had a hot tub and spent a few hours reading in the living room…
there was a full moon so I spent a lovely few minutes with my camera and tripod taking photos…
finally around 5:30 I went to bed and slept until 9:30;-)…
just saw this post on Instagram from @canadianchocoholic… an example of changing times…
as emails come in from banks and other organizations; tv ads mention options to delay payments; the government continues to come up with ways to assist businesses and individuals in these crazy times, I truly am blessed that my home is safe, my income is secure and I don’t need to leave for any reason…
today, I got dressed, lol… I know that is a big deal for me and a lot of you, I’ll bet… not having to worry about anyone coming to the door makes pjs perfectly acceptable all day…
in the morning I cooked spaghetti and let it cool down so that the sugars would fly through my system when I warm it up…
looked in the fridge and found part of a jar of spaghetti sauce which I used as a base for my sauce…
the addition of spices, A1, ketchup, and soy sauce, with time to mingle together, makes for a tasty addition to the spaghetti… also added some frozen meatballs to get in the required protein… smelled lovely as it was simmering…
while that was cooking, I went out and shovelled between the front steps and the driveway… snow seemed heavier than in the backyard yesterday, lol… and my back is not so happy just now;-(…
my shovelers came by this morning and did the driveway and sidewalk (but not the connecting area)… very happy they were able to get that done as it needs to be clear for the mail carrier… and Tuesday my grocery order should arrive as well…
supper was tasty and there is enough sauce and spaghetti for two more meals… yay…
