Doing the same here, and HUNGRY!

The hearings are a master class in Constitutional law.

Well, except for Turley. What a weak sauce he's prepared!

just now; dunkin egg/bacon croissant earlier!

Yes, weak sauce indeed, comes from selling his soul.

Cooked down the carcass of Saturday's rotisserie chicken yesterday in my instant pot and got lots of tasty stock and bits of meat in about 45 minutes. The onions, potatoes, celery and carrots all chopped and ready to go in the pot.

Mr. Procon wants dumplings so instead of the noodles I was planning to make I'm going to do some little dumplings with herbs and just use packaged wide egg noodles. This soup takes 4 minutes in the instant pot. Then I'll switch from pressure mode to saute and stir in some frozen peas and drop in the dumpings when it boils. Takes about 8 minutes for the dumplings to cook.

Nothing better on a cold rainy day than a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup.

We usually do our shopping on the last day of the month, which is "pay day," but this month that was the day we had our Thanksgiving feast.

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday we were dealing w/ > 2 feet of snow, so we haven't really been out for a decent shop. Hopefully we'll go tomorrow.


Dad and Sis got a one-skillet black beans and rice w/ kielbasa. (Kielbasa, black beans, onions, green bell pepper, corn, seeded tomatoes, and Cajun seasoning all cooked w/ the rice.) And steamed green beans.

Dad has caught the cold that had Sis sick for over a week. I refuse to get sick. Washing my hands every 15 minutes. I REFUSE TO GET SICK!!!

Your dinner sounds lovely. Wish you could come cook for me while I'm out cooking for Dad...

We weren't able to have turkey on Thanksgiving because of work and travel. Then I wanted to be contrary so I got an amazing beef tenderloin that I roasted on Friday.

The Landlady(!) insisted that we were going to have a turkey tonight so she got a breast and it's roasting in the oven.

Homemade stuffing and gravy, of course. She took a sweet potato and sliced it into french fry size. Instead of frying them, however, she's baking them. Steamed broccoli to round off the meal.

For dessert, she picked up a miniature cherry pie and vanilla ice cream.

Better late than never!

I was supposed to babysit but that got canceled. My people were going to eat out. I want to stay home but I don't want to cook.

There are a ton of leftovers - and not Thanksgiving leftovers - so we really should eat them up.
