Still sick... 209 update

The only place we have went is the doctor's office. We have ate from the pantry that is full which is a really really good thing since neither of us wanted let alone needed to be out and about in the store.

We have finally got to the point of actually eating something like beef stew,spaghetti with meat veggie sauce and chili instead of just drinking broth and pureed veggie soup. I fixed baked pumpkin oatmeal (Pioneer woman) that was good also.

I have gotten the kitchen together completely (if you don't count curtains not being sewn and hung).  I brought my wind chimes in from the porches and hung most of them at the kitchen sink window.
I won't put a curtain up at this window as I watch the sunrise a lot through it .It also lets me see who is pulling in the drive before they get to the house.



It's nice to have everything in it's place and able to actually find what I need.

I think the next place is the bedroom and my desk area as I am starting National Novel Writing month Nov 1st.

Neighbor came over to borrow some yeast as it was Saturday morning as she didn't think she had enough bread to make it to Monday afternoon (Amish keep Sunday as the day of rest, her Hubby was away at an auction so no one to take the buggy to store for her) I asked for a loaf back in return of the yeast since we were down to 2 slices... BOY was it better than mine. Since she doesn't use a recipe she said she would have to think about it but she thinks the big difference is she uses sorghum and I use sugar. The bread was a lot moister and it is definitely GONE. So tomorrow (Tuesday) I will be baking bread.

  1. Thanks for all the pictures of the new kitchen. You really inspire me. Unfortunately nothing inspires me enough to overcome my loathing of cooking. Spouse and I are retired and we just wing it for meals.

    But I'm still very impressed at all the work you put in to food preparation.

  2. There are plenty of days I loath cooking even as a chef.

  4. You kitchen is beautiful! You have done a great job decorating it. Kitchens are my favorite rooms of a house. Mine has two big rocking chairs and we all fight over who gets to sit in them.

    1. I was going to put my rocker in front of the French doors on the other side of the kitchen.Wilbur our boxer decided to take that area as his own. I might end up with the rocker on the deck outside those doors when we get it built next year.

  5. How nice that you can have give and take with the neighbors. I'm sure they are happier about asking if you take something back, such as bread, and you are thrilled to get the bread. Win, win!! You are blessed to have found a place with good neighbors.

    I hope you feel better and better each day. It's great that you have so much food storage, and also great that you are using it during this time.

  6. My great aunt makes bread like that. She gets out her biggest bowl and gets to work and makes the most delicious bread that no one can duplicate. All my great aunts cook that way and one can say how much of anything they put in any recipe.
