I'm pausing for a moment with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story to look back at the good things of the week.
1. Freezer organization. We have a side-by-side freezer and refrigerator. I keep the frozen items I use most often in this freezer and save the bigger or lesser-used frozen foods for the chest freezer in the garage. The one in the kitchen was full of bagged things that probably save space, but slide around. Plus I couldn't see what was in the very back and bottom. So on Saturday, I dragged the table over, put most of the freezer contents on it, and put like things together. I got rid of a couple of things. Jim unstuck the bottom drawer for me, and I pulled it out out to clean it. It felt good to get reacquainted with what was there and have things in better order.
2. Surprise sausage. One of the freezer items I hadn't realized I had was a partial roll of ground sausage. I'm not sure what it was doing there---I don't get it often, and I usually brown it all at once when I do have it. I thawed it out, browned it, used some for these crescent sausage rolls for dinner, some for a breakfast burrito the next day, and sprinkled some on a couple of pieces of leftover pizza. And I still have some left!
3. Trying something new. After church on Sunday, Timothy suggested going out to a restaurant. 🙂 We hadn't done that in a while--often their care group or ours meets for Sunday lunch. But none of us had anything scheduled that day. Our first choice of restaurant was crowded, with a line extending out the door. So they suggested a nearby Mexican restaurant we hadn't been to before. The menu didn't have my usual Mexican food entree choices, but something called Cozumel Rice caught my eye--grilled shrimp with Mexican rice, topped with cheese sauce. It was so good.
4. A good visit. Mittu's aunt and uncle from OK were traveling nearby in TN and stopped to spend a few hours at Jason and Mittu's house. J&M invited us over as well. We enjoyed the time visiting with them--we hadn't seen them since Jason and Mittu's wedding.
5. Lindor Lindt Milk Chocolate Truffles, my favorite candy. Jim saw them on sale at the grocery store and brought back a couple of bags. I try to keep consummation of them under control by rationing one or occasionally two a day.
Bonus: We had much-needed soaking rain yesterday.
Any special blessings from your week?
