Out my window: Ugh, the cold front messed with me so much. Spring, come baaaack...it's ok, it should warm up over the next several days again :-) and the promise of spring showers also makes me giddy :-)
Clothing myself in: jeans, blue Maurice's top with black sweater, "pearl" earrings and bracelet
Around
the apartment: I haven't felt the best the past couple of days, so despite having some extra days off of work, it's kinda, ick. Need to find my motivation again so that it's clean over Easter weekend.
The hubby: is super duper awesome.
In
the kitchen: coming up will be some simple french dip crescents with au jus (I'm cheating and using a packet for the au jus), chicken alfredo stuffed shells, and skillet lasagna. Loving that berries are coming back in season. I wish I could do them more year-round. For simple, on the go breakfasts I'll do some toast with nutella and layer raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries. So yummy.
Crafting: maybe, if I'm motivated tomorrow/this week, I'll get some plants and whip our little porch into shape.
Learning: how to get a small group of people to agree on a meeting time so that the most people can make it...eesh.
Reading: Almost done with The Imitation of Mary (And you know what, I do like it better overall than The Imitation of Christ. Weird. I don't know, I guess there were parts of the latter that I just couldn't relate with.), FINALLY got to King Arthur pulling out the sword in The Once and Future King, also found a free app version of Jane Eyre, just got to the part where she leaves the school job to become a private tutor.
Watching: Matt's s-i-l introduced me to an episode or two of Leverage last summer. I remember thinking it was good, but never followed up with it. I have been binge-watching it recently...
Bringing me joy: A good conversation with my spiritual mentor...a spring break of sorts...
Thinking about: St. Joseph's leadership...Easter and summer plans...other things...
Pictures to share: Maybe when I have the porch cleaned up...
Easy au jus that doesn't require a packet:
ReplyDelete2c water
1/2 c soy sauce
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp garlic pwder
pepper to taste
Use a roast. 6-8 hours in crock pot (high then kick down to low after 3-4 hrs) should shred easily and the sauce is delectable.
Peace!!
The cold front has been messing with me a little too! We actually had to turn on our heater yesterday, which was so weird. Oh yum! All of those foods sound wonderful! Nutella on toast with berries sounds awesome :)
