Things I Enjoyed this Week
- My ongoing gratitude and photo project continues below. I was back on track this week and took photos everyday.
Day 58: I am grateful for unique views.
Day 59: I am grateful for gentle waves.
Day 60: I am grateful for stone steps.
Day 61: I am grateful for sunbeams.
Day 62: I am grateful for ducklings
Day 63: I am grateful for a hop skip and a jump across a creek. This was along Colquitz Creek Park.
Day 64: I am grateful for the eddies of the tide. Joan Point Park has a well situated view between the islands to this cool narrow spot where the tide swirls.
- I watched Kramer Vs. Kramer as an Oscar Best Picture Winner. It was annoyingly realistic in too many ways.
- I learned no new constellations.
- I enjoy learning new words as I come across them in the wild. Here are some that I came across recently while reading or listening to podcasts.
- Rubicon – a limiting or bounding line that when crossed commits a person to something irrevocably.
- Callow – inexperienced, immature, unfledged
If you have good habits, time becomes your ally. All you need is patience.
– James Clear
Meal Prep and New Recipes Tried
- I made One Pot Enchilada Orzo from Creme De La Crumb. I made my own enchilada sauce to use rather than buying a jar and didn’t use any cheese. It was absolutely delicious, with warming spices and great enchilada flavour. I followed Cookie and Kate’s recipe for the homemade enchilada sauce.
- I made a loaf of Honey Oatmeal Bread from All Recipes. My yeast was a bit pitiful, so it took forever to rise. It turned out really cute though and was so soft and sweet.
Updates
