What's on your menu (Tuesday)

You guys are so caring to d the right thing and social distance but it sucks!

I wanted to tell you, I thought of you last night. I opened by Sipsby box and it has a tea called Empath's tea from a teahouse called Witchwood Tea -- this seemed like a place you should know about!

OMG! I'm going to look now! Thank you!

Mama bear hugs being sent your way.

Good morning! Last lonely day and my teammate will be back. Starting my day with 80 new emails to deal with before 6:30 am. Harbinger of things to come, I'd say. Buckle up, it's gonna be a rough one.

QOTD: so far, the Smithsonians in DC and oddly, the Richard Nixon Presidential Museum. I expected a lot of sugar coating over Watergate, and was so impressed with how frankly and honestly it was laid out. I've also been to Jimmy Carter's. It's on our bucket list to visit them all. But not sure I can go to the current admin's one if there is one. It's my big hope right now that on January 21, we all just STOP talking, typing, tweeting about him. It just feeds his monster and I want him to ride off into obscurity with no news presence. I think that's half the problem, is he is so vain he needs to see his name in lights all the time. Ok, sorry..small rant there.

I still need to organize my week, though I did finally start a menu for the week so I can pull together a grocery list for my husband to pick up. This weekend is not going to go the way I'd like it, so I need to prioritize what I am going to do. Starting tonight when I really need to finalize the patterns for the Cricut book bags I am making for my granddaughters. Book bags because we went a little bit crazy when we went to the book store last week to get them "one" book each. Ha -- 5 books each later we escaped the store. But how can books be wrong--and if they are, I don't want to be right!

Menu:

B: hb egg, 1/4 C cottage

L: left over stuffed chicken (it has some cream cheese and jalapeno in it)

D: 1/2 apple/basil chicken sausage, 1/2 serving veggie torte. I froze some so today is the day I find out if it freezes well. And making the hubs a little potato pancake from left over mash.

Peace Everyone!

You could add this to your Presidential Library plans.

O. M. D. ha!!

Good Morning Jen and Menuers,

Well it is a beautiful morning her in Pittsburgh clear skies and it was a balmy 27° this morning at 6AM. I am not complaining It was beautiful.

So I made some big decisions over the last couple of days and I have decided to eliminate the Christmas Baking from my routine this year. I really do not want that stuff sitting around the house and I don't think the CDC is wanting us to send homemade food as gifts so I chucked that off my schedule and it should give me more time for Hot tub and wine.

Also DH has been really into making these log deer and instead of giving gifts this year we did a donation to Toys for Tots and we have been secretly sticking these guys in our friends yards.

Mel you got some crafty competition.

QOTD: I am not a big museum goer but If I had to pick I still loved the Air and space Museum in the Smithsonian. I have not been there since the 7th grade but always said I'd love to go back.

Accountability: I dove into a bag of Lilly's chocolate covered popcorn and Lilly's peanut butter cups.

TSS: 3 years 0 Months and 4 day 132.2 (Lowest 129.4)

MS: Premier Café Latte Protein shake and berries

L: Crockpot pizza and snack select

D: Thai Turkey burger and slaw.

Exercise: 3 mile run (done)

Water and vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and my blood work has been great. My B12 has been High so I cut my sublingual to every 3rd or 4th day. And I have now added 500mg of Magnesium

Everybody have a Great day.

Brightest Blessing

Chrissy, I saw a couple of times you mentioning CDC guidelines for baking and I was curious. I give out a lot of Xmas crack to service providers in my life and got me worried. So went and checked. There is no rule against baking or food related on their site. Check it out.
If you don't want to bake this year, that's another story! ;)

I read it on MSN. I was mistaken that the CDC said it but here is the article I read.
