Progress.

 Progress.  Progress indeed.

I made it to another post this year! Would ya look at that?

I may not have too much to say tonight, but I did just want to pop on and say that my goodness gracious it sure was hot today.  It was the first hot day it's been since winter started.  Spring is on the horizon my friends.  To be honest as you already probably know, it was only about 80 degrees here where I live, but that's still hot to me.  I remember when I was in my early 20's, I stayed at my maternal grandmothers house to help because my grandfather was getting weaker and my mother and aunts would rotate staying the night to assist her but we all had busy lives and other things to take care of so there would occasionally be a night where they would need help, so I'd stay over.  My grandmom (yes she is still living as of this post, both of mine are actually which I know is such a blessing as I'm in my late 30's) kept that house on 80 degrees.  I will never forget how incredibly and unbearably hot it was.  Forget sleeping comfortably because man oh man haha.  But it was nice to be able to spend the time with her and assist however I could.  Really they just wanted someone to be there so I was happy to do it.

As you see I am no where near a professional writer but I like to write so there's that.  Perusing the analytics I see that some of my posts do get views (hope it's not just when I look from time to time haha).  Here's to growing this blog!  We will see what happens, right?  It's funny how when you think you have nothing to write about your thoughts just come rolling out and the next thing you know you have said a whole lot more that you thought you would.  

I guess that's it for this go 'round.  I'll catch y'all next time.

The year is 2023......and all is.......well.....

 Well my oh my can you believe it?

Is this true?

Can it be?

It looks like I have returned from the far reaches of BEING BUSY WHILST NOT BEING HOME which I have to say is well, entirely the opposite of the title of my blog isn't it? 

 

But I shall digress.

I might pick this back up again and see what happens.  I haven't been on here in, well, quite awhile as you can see but, I enjoy writing these and what I love most about this is I can just type away and I figure someone out there might just get a kick out of it lol.

A lot has changed since I last wrote on here.  I am working again, part time mind you, but still, it's a job right?  And I've learned a lot in a whole lot of ways.  A lot of the changes that have occurred in my life since my last post here are of a most personal nature so of course you can't necessarily blame me for not going into detail here right?

What I can tell you is this:

I am growing.  No no no not wide and in the physically oblong or round sense (at least, not that I can tell anyway....)  But in an all encompassing way.  I've been doing some self reflection and prayer and am awaiting the life I am called to live.

I will post again soon.  Until then, take care to anyone who sees this!

Stuffed Green Peppers AKA NOM

Hey guys!

I hope whoever/whomever looks at this is doing well.  I don't cook as much anymore since I work nights now, but I thought I'd pop over and share a recipe for stuffed green peppers since I made some last night.  I'll just plop it right here since you know I like to get straight to the point. 

It.

Was.

Good.

I will say I didn't exactly follow the instructions.....I used it more so like a guide.  I had a whole pound of ground beef and only two peppers....so I used the extra meat mixture around the peppers which came out pretty much like a layer of lasagna without the noodles and ricotta cheese lol.

I also didn't use any tomatoes.  But! I did use Prego's traditional pasta sauce if that counts.  Hey I'm all about quick and easy when it comes to cooking. I even took pictures because why not? 

LOOK:

Yes I know the stovetop looks awful but I wiped it down so calm yourself.

Looks pretty awesome and crazy and yes, freakin' delicious.  I could only eat half of it so there's that.  Time for leftovers because #wastenotwantnot

Til next time....

My Tea Tonight

Hello people

I know it's been awhile.  I started this blog when I was taking a long break from working and I needed something to do to basically keep me from losing my mind.  Well, I'm working now so I don't have as much time as I'd like to contribute to this but it'll still be fun from time to time.

I thought I'd pop on over and talk about the tea I'm having tonight.  It's nothing spectacular.  Not sure if I can even really call it tea to be honest, but, whatever.

It consists of boiled water (of course), lemon juice, pineapple juice, crushed red pepper, ground cinnamon and ground ginger.  Smells just like oatmeal.  Weirdest thing.

That's really all I have other than I've been quite foolish this evening and filled up on taco Bell for dinner so I couldn't finish my late night salad.  This is a lose lose situation.

I hope tomorrow will be better.

Nite!

A New Post!!! Say Whaaaaat????

Guys!

It's been awhile I know. 

Let me waste NO time getting to the point cuz it's late!!

 Tonight I made (well, it's still in the oven) this simple white cake.  I don't have any vanilla extract (I know, I know) right now so I am using almond extract in its place.  I hope it turns out!  Seems simple enough so it should be just fine.

That's it for this go 'round.  Talk to y'all next time!
