I love Gr...Such delicious meals everyone has had! <br /><br />I love Greek food, so Live and Learn, I'm envious of the gyros. About me filling my new-found time -- I'm just wired this way. If there's extra time, there's always a job to fill it. I schedule in breaks from time to time. I think I need to do that again soon. Maybe after the harvesting and processing is finished.<br /><br />Happy belated anniversary, Alice! Also, your meal with Grandma and 2 of your kids sounds like it was well-received. Getting to take home leftovers is always appreciated. Good reminder on keeping up our immune systems.<br /><br />Kris, you reminded me about polenta. Thank you! I'll have to add that to our meals this coming week. I now do it in the crockpot as you suggested. And yes, I had my iron levels and thyroid checked somewhat recently. All in the normal range. But I could do things to take better care of myself, and that's why I asked my family to take on a couple of my smaller tasks.<br /><br />I hope everyone had a great weekend!Lilinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-44135145854070514942022-09-09T15:03:20.998-07:002022-09-09T15:03:20.998-07:00Really enjoying the fresh produce!

We've had chicken in honey/soy sauce with potatoes, Thai style chicken over polenta, BLTs, and some other stuff. :) Been enjoying the nice weather lately. <br /><br />Lili, I'm wondering if you've had your blood levels checked lately. Things like anemia and low thyroid can sneak up on you (from personal experience). Good for you for seeking help!

They all went home with leftovers. Monday was our anniversary but we did a lot of yard work and grilled burgers in the afternoon eaten on homemade buns. Tuesday was leftovers along with some chicken ala king over the homemade buns. Wednesday was leftovers. Thursday was Chili Mac and zucchini brownies. Tonight will be chili mac leftovers. Good but simple meals since I'm not feeling like cooking much lately but I don't want to go out to eat since our evenings are too short after work. I'm not shopping much but still cook from scratch each meal.<br /><br />We also have cooler nights and really nice sleep. The days are nice and high 70s to low to mid 80s and not terribly humid. But it's just a perfect storm for sore throats and colds to begin. Need to get good rest and plenty of vitamins to ward it off.<br /><br />AliceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-83649927458210500822022-09-09T04:15:43.561-07:002022-09-09T04:15:43.561-07:00We finally had a cold front come through, so we...We finally had a cold front come through, so we've had cooler weather this week temps no higher than 80s and 60s at night. So the hint of fall is in the air. We had chicken and rice this week along with Gyros. And cucumber, tomato, pepper salad from the garden. Not sure what else, but we did not go hungry. <br /><br />I'm glad that you off-loaded some of your chores to your family. However, it looks like you filled the extra time with new ones. Things should slow down in the winter a little, right?Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
