I was sitting here thinking about what to write, and I absolutely could not remember what I had done this morning. My mind was a blank for a few moments. I remember now, thank goodness: up, devos, cat time, breakfast, market, home, shower, meeting. I don't seem to be able to accomplish both exercise and devotions in the same morning. I'll have to work on that.
That took me all the way to lunch. Got home and my Mr. had made sandwiches. Yum. Then I spent all afternoon over at the restaurant I'm going to be painting and decorating. I'm looking forward to that project, although I can already tell it's going to be more complicated than I thought.
We made chicken stock today. I was explaining how we make stock to a national friend a few days ago. I didn't think it would be strange to her, because they make their own version of broth for noodle soup. But you should have seen her shock when she realized that we just throw away all those vegetables we boil down in the process. She seemed pretty disgusted at the waste.
Then, yesterday I made beef bourguignon in the crock pot. My Mr. went out to buy the wine to add to the recipe, and the nationals at the check-out asked how long it would take him to drink the whole bottle. He answered that we were going to make a stew out of this wine, and they were simply astonished. They said they had no idea you could use it for that.
Foreigners and their strange ways.
