Hi, friends!
I regret to inform you it’s only Tuesday. I spent most of the afternoon thinking it was Wednesday.
Anyways, this week has been crazy busy and I think this pace is going to continue through most of March.
I’m already trying to plan a vacation in April because I think I’m going to lose my goddamn mind otherwise.
How is your week going so far? Anything exciting happen today?
On the upside, I finished a small cross stitch project last night. Well, finished the stitching. I still have to do the tape and picture frame part.
I am conducting a relatively lame culinary experiment, but it’s something I haven’t done before. I took a huge, honking Whole Foods pre-made vegetable pizza. To this I added a little chicken breast and a little pork that I marinated in a soy sauce mixture for about three hours then wokked. I cut it up and distributed it liberally over the pre-made pizza. It’s in the oven now. I think theoretically this should work…
I don’t know why it wouldn’t work.
Unless your fancy veggies go Lord of the Flies on the newcomers and kick them off the pizza.
My experiment was a success. My fear was that the pre-made pizza was already cooked, just needed warming up, and the meat was already cooked but not entirely, because I cooked it myself, so putting it together would be like slopping one leftover on top of another. But no, it was delicious. I’m going to have to remember this. Buy a pre-made pizza with one thing you want on it, then add whatever else you want to it, and that saves the step of the frozen pizza/flatbread dough AND adding everything you want yourself. I think this is a “hack.” I feel like Sandra Lee.
A tiny bit of good in the world–both as a story to read, AND something really natural & GOOD😉💖;

Nothing exciting here, just cold, cold, and more damn cold.🙃
I gave our new foster dog a bath and my wife already has a potential adopter lined up. He’s snoring and twitching on the chair next to me. It’s taken a few days but he’s probably already 50% less hyper than when he arrived and our main dog is… mostly tolerating him. Still gassy, though.
Awww, that’s great! Glad he’s settling down in the house. Sorry about the gas, I swear some doggos are just farters.
I’M FREEZING!
Bundled up in my warmest jammies, under my blanket and still cold. 🥶
Perhaps a nightcap in both senses of the word?
Good idea. A hot toddy and a beanie. 😊 Thanks!
I was very unproductive today so that will be catching up with me tomorrow.
ronapocalypse at work….roughly half of staff is stuck at home
