Out and About

Hmmm, to recap: I didn't really work on Bridal Shower, but I did buy the thankyou cards for guest to write their name and return address onto.

Did go to Bible Study...was awesome, really getting into some neat stuff. It's a video study over the summer. It's giving us a keyhole peek into heaven..and hell.

Did go to the reflexology appointment...it was great, my feet felt so good I went shopping. I might have over done it. 

Of course I did get Matt's lunch done, some sliced beef and cheese sandwiches.

I get a pass mark on Dress, Hair and Makeup, but just barely. I didn't shower until just before my reflex. appt. and then I forgot to reapply mascara..Yikes!!

I ended up doing 3 kms on the treadmill. I did two fairly easily this morning, then added one more while waiting for the clothes in the dryer to warm up...aren't they so much nicer to fold then.

As far as the rest of my day, I made supper for Dear Husband who just got back from a haul to Alberta.

Tomorrow is similar, but with a focus on staying home, and baking bread, and prepping for shower

And if I have the ambition to work on this crazy spice/supplies shelf over my stove.

It wasn't a bad beginning!

Alright, it may be 12:20a.m. before I sat down again, but I'm pleased with my evening.  I did make a nice supper for all of us.  It turned out delicious!  Simple Alfredo Sauce: 
1. Melt margarine, butter, lard or pour about 3 Tbsp of oil in deep frying pan. 

2. Add enough flour to make a thick paste with no oil left to be absorbed,

3. Add about a 1/2 c. potato water, plain water, milk, or juice from canned seafood.  Mix well into smooth cream. 

4. Now..place onto burner on med-low.  Add only milk from here on, unless you have extra seafood juice. 

5. Season heavily with Garlic Salt, add at least 2 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese.  Keep stirring as it thickens, pay special attention to sides and bottom.  Taste frequently, adding Garlic Salt or Parmesan as you see fit. 
6. Lastly, add Shrimp, or crab meat, or canned seafood mix. (anything pre-cooked).  Heat to finish.
Serve generously over hot, cooked pasta.

I did work on the table.  Admittedly, I still have a pile of papers to file and sort through, it looks better. 
As well, I did do up dishes, but didn't realize how many there were... I left a few pots still soaking until tomorrow.  But did clean up stove after pasta and sauce making.

Well, that's my evening.  My primary goal for tomorrow is...to work on Bridal Shower stuff for Saturday.  Also, there is Ladies' Bible Study to attend and my Reflexologist appointment, in addition to making Matt's breakfast, and his bagged lunch.  It would also be nice to work, say an hour on the kitchen table, and to do the dishes I dirty in the morning as well as the leftovers from today before leaving for Bible Study.  We'll see how that goes.  Plus, "Dress, Hair, and MakeUp" first thing, and try to do 2 kms at least on treadmill.

Plan for this evening

Ok, my immediate plan is to make Shrimp Alfredo for my step-son Matt and his girlfriend Megan who is craving shrimp.
This should inspire me to find the kitchen table so we can eat on it together.
I would like to do up the dishes as I go..including those left from lunch with husband Carmen, and the popcorn I made from a mid-afternoon snack.
See you after we've eaten, maybe even after I've done all the dishes...Oh My.
