I hope your sinuses/cold is starting to ease up and you are beginning to feel better. While doing the MB, I am masking up because of the dust. Everything is unplugged.

Before I forget, I gave some incorrect info on the Congee. You make the rice like you normally would. You have a choice. Either you can take some out while it is still moist or you can let it cook through. Congee should be relatively moist, but not as moist as soup. Then you can add whatever you like. Tonight I made the rice. I also had some frozen shrimp in the freezer and fresh clams still in the shell in the frig. I brought vegetable broth to a boil. Added the clams and shrimp along with fresh broccoli, snow peas, carrots, and water chestnuts. I used a scoop to get the veggies out and the shrimp and waited on the clams to open up. I then scooped them out as they opened. I used a mesh, metal scooper that the Orientals use for taking items out of the wok. They can be found in any retail store. Usually made of metal or stainless steel. If you have an Oriental market nearby, they are usually less expensive and that also includes other utensils as well. I find myself going down the aisles where the pots and pans are as well as other homegood items. Somewhere in Orlando is an Oriental bakery. Next time we are in the area I will google the place and try to make a stop, unless, of course, we get lost.

I had to go out to the car this evening to fetch some bottled water. It was a tad warmer. The plants are still undercover, but tomorrow, the temps should hit the low 70s. These last few days made me really think about heading North during the winter season. I have a feeling my blood may be a little too thin to enjoy the cold temps. Especially when I went to the shed yesterday and within seconds I was shivering. To think I used to enjoy this season when you could dress in layers.

Well, enjoy the rest of your evening. I see Colorado is looking at a couple of inches of snow tomorrow through Wednesday. Wonder if it will reach New England.

@shoelady60,

Enjoy the Hockey Game and your team is ahead as I type this to you. ✨😎

Peace Out Peeps stay safe. ✨✨

A Change Is Gonna Come
Sam Cooke

I was born by the river
In a little tent
Oh, and just like the river, I’ve been running
Ever since
It’s been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon’ come
Oh yes, it will
It’s been too hard living
But I’m afraid to die
‘Cause I don’t know what’s up there
Beyond the sky
It’s been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon’ come
Oh yes, it will
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
And somebody keep telling me
“Don’t hang around”
It’s been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon’ come
Oh yes, it will
Then, I go to my brother
And I say, “Brother, help me, please”
But he winds up knockin’ me
Back down on my knees, oh
There been times that I thought
I couldn’t last for long
But now, I think I’m able
To carry on
It’s been a long
A long time coming, but I know
A change gon’ come
Oh yes, it will

Hello Sheba, it’s a sunny day and last night was a cold night.
I am glad you are feeling better. It sounds you are very busy today.

Hubby does have today off, we used this weekend to straight out around the house.
Somehow this month is flying by, it’s the middle of January already.

I am making bread again today, I make small batches and I eat lots.
Back to making bread.

Stay warm Sheba.

Good afternoon to you. Ran out to get a soup bone and made a pot of vegetable soup for dinners/lunch for a couple days.🥣 Will freeze a few containers for quick meals.

May start out watching the hockey game but if it looks terrible I will switch to the football game. Don’t want to be bored/disgusted for 2-1/2 hours. I am not a patient fan.🙄 Can’t wait for the Chiefs game on Saturday.👍

Mom and sis are fine, we will probably go to get nails done this week or next.💅🦶 And there is always lunch after.😊 Hope you are feeling a little better each day.🥰💖
