Wednesday's Winter Wonderland

This morning was pretty much like most mornings, a little colder than most and snow still on the ground, but pretty normal otherwise.

After doing the hand washing posts and pans, I cleaned the stove and made my winter standby oatmeal. Then went into the living room to read the paper, but the mail got here about the time I got into the living room, so I got it and opened it up. Most of it was junk mail, except for one of my Visa bills.

After taking care of the mail, I read the paper. Upon finishing the paper, I loaded the dishwasher and started it up. While working on my computer, it suddenly, went black and had shut itself off. I checked the surge protector and the power strip to make sure that they were functioning okay, and just to be sure I turned each one off and then back on again. Still nothing, so I turned the computer off and went upstairs to bring something to Kathleen.

Then went back downstairs and started to make dinner. Kathleen came downstairs and returned my computer on and it came up, although it did not come up properly, so I restarted it and it came back up the way it is suppose to. Computers...!?!?

Anyway, it seems to be working now, but who knows for how long. Anyway, for dinner I took the leftover ribs and de-boned them, shredded four potatoes, added some onion and garlic and fried everything in olive oil.

Kathleen had originally made the ribs with oregano and she did not like the flavor very much, so I thought that by mixing them with potatoes, onions and garlic, it would take away the strong oregano taste. I liked it, but Kathleen still was not wild about it.

Maybe because I added some hot salsa to mine to give it some extra piazza. Kathleen also heated up some organic roasted red pepper and tomato soup, again I liked it, but she did not. At least I got my daily quota of lycopene.

Kathleen and I went out side for a while today, she got all bundled up and I was in my shorts, tee shirt and garden clogs, she was cold and I was not. I could not have done that yesterday as I had a chill and could not seem to get rid of it.

Well, that is about all for today, so good night!
