Same thing we do every night Pinky. Try to take over the world!! - This line from one of my favorite cartoons seems really appropriate right now (For those of you interested, here's the opening clip to the cartoon -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBkT19uH2RQ). My days seem less separated by free time and work time, and more separated by the specific tasks I'm going to accomplish each day. While all of the days seem to blur together, each separate day seems to have it's own rhythm. Today the day started with snow blowing and shoveling, followed by breakfast, moved into Spanish lessons ( Duolingo is a great program if you're trying to learn a new language), and then into bread making. I know that I can still buy bread at the store, but I find something really grounding about making my own. Mostly I like the kneading and waiting for it to rise. For me, it is so satisfying to create the food that is going to nourish my body and my soul.
Back to the every day blending into the others - It was leftovers clean out last night again. The last leftovers night was totally different because our meals were totally different last week. This week, we are finishing up our delivery of produce, had some pita bread, as well as a few slices of pepperoni, and some bolognese that our neighbors shared with us. So guess, what? Pita Pizzas!!! We made three different kinds, with toppings that ranged from cherry tomato, to radicchio, to poblano peppers. Into the oven until the cheese melted and the pita got crunchy. They were really tasty and warm on a chilly night.

| Tulips in the Snow |
Speaking of chilly nights, we woke up to about 5 inches of snow, and as I am typing this now, it's still snowing. This would have been a perfect day to stay in bed late, but that snow isn't going to clear itself. Nor is laundry going to wash itself, so I'm off to continue my day. Benjamin Franklin said "the only certain things in life are death and taxes." I'd like to add a couple more - laundry and dishes. I guess since he had someone doing those things for him, they didn't count...
Until next time, be well, be safe, be healthy, and tell someone you love them today!
