Of the three things that I listed in tonight's blog title, cook took up the most time. I did clean off one half of the countertop on the sink side…moved everything, wiped off the countertop really well. Then when I put things back I added in some pumpkins and got out the cooking items I needed for my cook of the day.
I made chicken and shrimp gumbo…tasted very good for a late lunch. While cooking I tried to keep the mess under control. And, it did help when I had the gumbo finished. I haven’t run the dishwasher, yet…waiting to put the last of today's dishes in. I plan to turn it on in a little while.
I’m later checking in tonight as a couple of friends and I visited while their husband's were in choir practice.
It has been a good day…really a little cleaning, a little decorating (at least I have started!), and spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen. My house smelled like gumbo when I came in the house tonight. There are worse smells! I guess I had better get that dishwasher going to perhaps take some of that smell away.
I hope to stitch for a while tonight. I need to get back to working on Christmas ornaments. Last night I took a break from Christmas ornaments and stitched on a sampler. I think I need to be disciplined tonight and get back to Christmas stitching!
To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
