Saturday's Surprise

I kind of just lay in bed this morning when I woke up, I could tell from looking out the skylight that it was going to be overcast for a while. When I finally did get up, I went out to get the paper and decided that I probably should water the flowers and things in the front yard, so I spent a little time giving them some water.

Seeing this was Saturday, I knew that I would be making an omelet, so I got out the mushrooms, Walla Walla sweet onion veggie sausage, and the red and yellow peppers. I sliced the mushrooms, onion and peppers and sautéed them in the frying pan. At the same time I micro waved the veggie sausage and when it was done, I crumbled it up and added it to the veggie mix in the pan.

Once everything was nice and caramelized, I added the egg beaters to the pan and made a nice veggie omelet. I also toasted a couple slices of sour dough bread and made a couple open faced Adam's peanut butter and Smucker's all fruit sandwiches (apricot and red raspberry). A rather satisfying breakfast even if I do have to say so myself.

After loading all the dishes into the dishwasher, I decided that I would try going for a walk. With all the walking around Costco and IKEA the last couple days, I really needed to just walk on the ground. I walked for about four and three quarter miles and I did not feel as bad as I did shopping at the stores. Beside the fresh air was an added benefit.

When I got home I opened up the mail and sat down with a cup of coffee and read the paper and the mail. Kathleen came downstairs and so I gave her the mail that was addressed to her. When I got done with the paper and the mail, I recycled them and then went outside to transplant some of the foxglove that was growing in the paths in the rose garden.

While I was doing that the sun came out and it turned out to be a pretty nice day much to my surprise. After spending an hour or so digging I decided to go in, clean up and rest for a while.
When I got inside it was almost 1500, so I made myself a salad with the usual things, a half dozen different kinds of green, green onions, red & yellow peppers, mushrooms, cucumbers, radishes and to top it off I added the left over Jamaican Jerk Pacific snapper from the other night.

Since I could not find the malt vinegar I just used the red wine vinegar as a dressing. It was pretty good and I probably should have used more vinegar because the bottom of the salad was a little dry. After letting my food settle for a while, I went back outside and pruned the roses and as I was doing that I noticed some weeds and Italian prune tree suckers coming up in the rose garden. So I took care of them and then decided that since the garden was not pretty much in the shade it might be a good time to water the gardens in the back yard.

By the time I got done with that, got cleaned up and sat down in my easy chair, I realized that I was really tired. So I turned on the news, watched it and then turned on HGTV and fell asleep. Kathleen woke me up around 2130 and asked if I wanted to eat. As I was getting out of my chair I notice how sore I was, not necessarily a bad sore, just sore from using muscles that do not get enough exercise.

She mad a pork loin and sautéed some Granny Smith apples with some leeks in a rum sauce and also had some pasta to go along with it. It was very tasty. Well, I think that just about covers my day, I hope that you all had a good and productive day and a good night as well.
