Monday

No pictures today, and nothing of interest.

I spent most of the morning in the kitchen, cleaning out dishwasher and filling it again, and taking care of leftovers. I had fixed a couple Cornish Game Hens in my new pressure cooker a couple of days ago. Today I took the meat off the bones and made some chicken broth.

I couldn't remember where my strainer was, and while I was looking for it, I found some kind of microwave thing and didn't have a clue what it was for. Also found a plastic baking pan that was oven safe. I bought it years ago, and probably used it only once. Later I found the directions for the microwave thingie. It is a rice cooker. Good grief! I have a rice cooker, and my pressure cooker has a rice setting, and of course the best rice comes from the old fashioned method of boiling it on the top of the stove for 20 minutes. I think the Microwave cooker will go to the Food Basket.

I'm sure there are other useless and mysterious gadgets in the dark depths of my cupboards.

Lynn mentioned hearing the frogs, and last night I noticed they were "singing" here too. I love listening to them. I just wish I didn't have so much traffic noise. Ever since the gas companies came, I notice the traffic more and more. I usually get up and close my bedroom window about 6:00 every morning now when they are all going to work.

I also spent time on pictures. I took the memory cards out of my cameras, copied all the pictures to the hard drive of the computer in the May folder, and formatted the cards. I wish I had a better system of folders for my photos, but so far, by date works best.
