What's on your Tuesday Menu?
on 12/5/23 2:53 am
Good Morning! Hope everyone had a stellar start to the week!
It's pretty boring around here. My big event of the day is meeting up with another cookier at a Starbucks nearby to sell her my old 3D printer. Other than that, just more of the same old stuff.
Everyone should have received their Secret Santa assignments by email if you signed up! If you don't get yours, let me know and I will resend ;)
QOTD: Since we are bored over here--hit us with some recommendations for passing the time! Books, tv, movies, podcasts, or anything else interesting we can enjoy from home? I am reading the book, The Bee Sting and enjoying it so far. I am also interested in the new HBO documentary that just dropped called "Murder in Boston" about a really awful case that happened here in the 90s.
It turned out that I didn't have all the ingredients I needed for enchiladas so I made an Italian ricotta chicken dish instead. The rest of the day was on track except for some wine after what should have been my IF cut off.
- Protein coffee
- Egg White bites
- Ricotta chicken leftovers
- Veggie burger

I remember the Stuart case and I'm looking forward to watching that documentary. I have been watching Hope Street on BritBox, it's pretty good. I also watched all of the Max documentary about Mother God/Love Has Won cult which is proof that a lot of people are stupid.
Long day of meetings and a vendor dinner tonight, but I got in my elliptical and some weights and finished a book I was reading and it's still not even 630 in the morning. Definitely winning Tuesday!
have a wonderful day everyone!

Wow. You're a morning maniac with all you've gotten already done. Thanks for the info about the mother God/love cult documentary. I'll check it out. I liked the Wild, Wild Country documentary on Netflix.

Good mornin y'all. Hope that you're all doing well.
It's been a difficult night but hopefully it'll stay here. Just some extra pain and inability to sleep.
No big plans for the day really. We may go shopping as we got another coupon for a free bath and body works product. We're thinking for my SIL along with another thing from there. I need to figure out what to get my nephew. Ugh...I can't make him jewelry lol. I am going to give him a cube I'll make. I'm just waiting for a wood ball to put in the center. I have carbon steel ball bearings but they are heavy! I'd like to make it to where it can hang on his backpack. I am stumped. Any ideas? His favorite color is green and video games are his life...LOL
QOTD: I've been watching lost cities revealed on Disney +. It's interesting. I'm not into the murder doc stuff so I don't have anything to recommend there.
B: eggs, turkey sausage, cheese and coffee x2. Also unfortunately part of a cookie.
L: I'm thinking of making soup
D: ????
the bestest Christmas tree ever.
also the cube thing I'm going to make for my nephew. Not the best pic.

OMG I love that tree :)
How about a t-shirt with one of his favorite video games on it?
Thanks for organizing the Secret Santa! My gift is on its way and I'm sooooo excited. Should we open them when we receive them? Wait til Christmas? Pick a day and all do it that day? Do a photo reveal? I didn't put my name on the gift slip haha! So at some point I'll have to fess up.
I loved the book Black Cake and cannot wait to start the series. Hopefully next week when I am visiting my parents. I have to figure out what cord is needed to display my laptop on their tv.
We have a work dinner with secret Santa exchange tonight in DC at this well known Italian restaurant called Filomena. I have no idea what I am going to order which is unlike me. I don't want a heavy pasta dish but nothing is jumping out at me. It will have to be a game time decision!
B: smoked trout from TJs and a few bites of leftover crab cake
L: leftover red lentil soup and a spicy chicken sausage
D: up in the air
E: will I go to the gym in an hour or lay here? The debate rages on in my head lol
Have a fab day and enjoy your little jaunt to Starbucks!

We'll do the reveal to say who had who on Friday 12/22 :)
