cooking

I had a great weekend, where I am starting to recognize myself again. I was able to give myself me time, get my “stuff” done, and spend quality time with my daughter. It was a jammed packed weekend, yet I did not feel even the slightest bit of stress.

Friday started with going to the movies. I rarely go these days and it is something I miss. I used to be such a movie buff but got out of the habit when I was married. I plan to go more regularly on my weekends that I am a free parent.

Last Thurday, my daughter had a performance at her after school program (following pajama day at her school) and I was asked to bring potato salad. It’s been a long time since I’ve made one and the first batch of potatoes I overcooked. My mind was on mashed potatoes and potatoes for potato salad need to be firmer. I went to the store and bought some more and put the ‘over’cooked ones away for another day.

They make a perfect side to tonight’s dinner. A little roasted chicken, mashed potatoes with sage and garlic, stuffing and string beans.

It’s been quite a long time since I have made an entry to this blog. I have been extremely busy with a lot of other things in my life. Since WordPress 3 came out, I thought I should probably update the software and all the plugins. So here I am.
