February Has Arrived!

I slept in later than usual. It was one of those days when I woke up too early...often when that happens, I can't get back to sleep...but today I was able to get back to sleep. Inevitably when I do that I get into a deeper sleep...and this was one of those days. I just chalk it up to needing more sleep. Since I didn't have anything planned for today, it really didn't make any difference when I woke up. Since it was later than usual, I decided to combine breakfast with lunch. And, since I needed to use some of my sourdough starter, it seemed like a good day to make sourdough waffles. So I had a waffle for my brunch and now have more in the refrigerator ready to pop in the toaster on some other days in the coming week. I got that mess cleaned up and I decided that it was time to sit down and do some Saturday stitching. I was able to finish my second Christmas ornament stitch of the year. After that finish, I started deciding what Christmas ornament I will stitch next. Before that decision is made I will put away the floss that I used for the one I just finished. So it has been a stitching day. I have also made a few decisions as to what recipes that I want to make this next week. I am trying to choose recipes that I have items for in the freezer. I took out a pork roast to thaw and decided on two or three recipes that I willl use it for. The first thing is a pork chop recipe that was one of my mother's recipes. I seem to be making a lot of her recipes lately. I'm not feeling like trying new recipes so I am cooking tried and true recipes. I think that I will also use some of the roast cut into cubes and make a soup/stew that both Woody and I liked...Shanghai Pork Stew. With the rest of the roast, I will either cook it as a roast or cube up the rest of it make Sweet and Sour Pork, an adaption from a Good Housekeeping Magazine from years back...original was for Sweet and Sour Chicken. So recipes have been floating around in my head as I stitched today. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
