I LIKE Thursday # 82

Good Morning!  I'm here to tell you a bit about last week. What Mr. Busy and I are doing and what makes our lives pretty darn good!  First, we have been enjoying together:

Entertainment:

Joe Pickett on Spectrum Originals. If you like C.J. Box as an author, this follows the book pretty faithfully! If you aren’t a Spectrum customer, it’s an app available on some devices. I hope that it will be on some other widely available service in the future. Watch for it! 

Sweet Magnolias has returned to Netflix for season 2.

I had to go back to the last episode of season to remember why Kyle was in Tyler’s car, cause Season 2 opens with everyone at the hospital!

Cobra Kai…Season 3 still watching. Will Daniel be able to save his dealership?  Will Kreese get his "comeuppance".  Will Miguel and Sam and Robby be friends?

And we have been watching some Olympics, too!  GO !USA! 

 Catch-22.  with George Clooney . A satire of sorts! Kind of fun!

  

Food: 

It's Comfort Food time of year. I found a few less than fresh hamburger buns on top of the fridge. Sometimes stuff gets put up there off the counter and forgotten! So I decided to make bread pudding! It a favorite of Mr. Busy. I don’t do it often. I decided to bake it in a ceramic quiche pan. I thought it would look pretty. Sometimes it's all about "pretty"

Ready for the oven

Out of the oven, 45 minutes later! It was puffed up almost spilling over the sides of my quiche pan! It did sink as it cooled. Served it with homemade Rum Sauce and ice cream after dinner on Tuesday. It's good, but not great. The ice cream and rum sauce made it almost yummy, but it is thin. Next time, I make it in a square cake pan,. 

I have been trying to catch-up in my sewing room. HST, Crumb blocks, happy blocks for some RSC projects. My Table Scraps for this month is sort of labor intensive so that is taking time, but it is coming together and should be done. No photos! Ok, just a peek! 

And I have been going through some magazines, and patterns. I try to be organized, but I am not as successful at that as I should be.

Mr Busy is doing another puzzle. He finished the Twelve Days of Christmas!

This one is one we started while in California and then put it away cause he had hurt his knee and was not comfortable sitting at a low table. 

He has his puzzle spot all set up now, with two lighted magnifiers and 12 puzzle sorter trays plus an additional sorter that he quickly constructed out of Dollar Store foam board that was in his "stash". 

I'm writing this on Wednesday. We just came home from a quick shopping trip. We stopped at Dairy Queen for the $6 chicken tenders lunch. It's now $7, but still a good deal. Then a short stop at Albertson's for milk, salad dressing, red grapes, guacamole and wine.  Essentials, you know!!

I did a bit of online banking, Mr. Busy is watching a YouTube video. It is windy (24mph) and chilly (45 but feels like 36) outside!  We are warm and toasty in our downstairs family room with the fireplace on. It's electric, but does have a blower so it warms up the room pretty quickly and it "looks and feels cozy"!

Of course there is laundry, kitchen cleaning, and cooking. Also been gathering income tax information! I’m not a fan of that chore.  But on the gratitude side:  I have a roof over my head, a house to clean, clothes and a place to keep them clean, and a financial situation that is enough to provide for us. And allows us the privilege of extras, like fabric, wine, puzzles and lunch out! I need to remember that is not true in many parts of the world or even in our community. We are blessed.
