I finally have a weekend to myself. Sean is in Chicago with his dad. I miss him when he's gone, but I cherish my alone time. Today, I will try to make order out of chaos. The chaos of my house, that is. I'm also planning on making "meat essence" which is a fancy word for really concentrated consume. I have beef bones, a chicken and duck carcass. I basically make stock, then let is simmer all night and freeze it in ice cube trays. It's better than bullion cubes and just as handy!
I had a great time last night. Went out, then over to a friends' house and had a lovely, simple dinner. It's pretty nice when one of your closest friends owns a wine store!
I'm watching my birds now. I have feeders in front of my window by my computer, so I can watch them while I'm wasting time. Right now my little downey woodpecker is eating suet. It's cute.
Life is good and I'm trying to keep a positive outlook on things.
