Netflix on all day (to lower his ratings). Tuned in to Lincoln Lawyer -- even better than I remember. Was just going to run it in the background, but I can't help watching. No work today. 😍

Hmmm, could I haiku that?

lower his ratings
watch anything but the news
like lincoln lawyer

yep!

I also made veggie broth for the first time. Easy as pie. Probably cost ten times as much as three boxes of broth from Pacific Foods, but it's fresh, organic, and has no onions or salt.

I'm allergic to onions and on a low sodium diet. That's why I wanted to make my own in the first place.

This is my year to learn to make bread. I started off easy with cornbread from a Krusteaz mix. It's delicious.

Improvised a very simple chipotle dipping sauce for my sweet potato fries today. It was perfect!

whisk together:
2 Tb mayo
2 TB sour cream

whisk in chipotle spice to taste (c. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp) --- make sure it's fresh; stale chipotle spice is gross

Look what I found!

I hate plastic with a passion! I'm always delighted to find an alternative. Today I finished a half gallon of Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap. Gritted my teeth to buy another half gallon, but found this refill instead. I'm so happy!

i got my first serious digital camera for christmas in 2007 ... immediately shot hundreds of pictures, and almost every one was out of focus ... i had a lot to learn ... but I always thought this one was a happy accident

Niece brought a big chunk of cornbread. Didn't have the supplies to make my usual chili, so I made do. I had...

two turkey burgers, broken up
jar of Jovial diced tomatoes, plus 1/2 jar of water
1/2 can of chipotle peppers in adobe sauce, diced
a can of navy beans, drained
