I made a Hungarian mushroom soup for dinner this evening. It tasted incredible.
There is enough left over for tomorrow night's dinner as well. Chopping two
cups of onions and one pound of mushrooms only took minutes with my Pampered
Chef Rapid-Prep mandolin. On any given day, my favorite kitchen tool is the one
that makes prepping recipes easier! We had a romaine salad with fresh
vegetables and oven-baked crostini with our soup.
Now I am writing and drinking a cup of dark hot chocolate with
marshmallows. Much of my day was spent designing a plan for an upcoming
Pampered Chef fundraiser for Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue and
Sanctuary. The good news is that once the content is created, I can schedule it
to post on the actual days of the event (October 22nd through October 27th).
Having a plan makes me happy. Engaging in the creative process also makes me
happy!
Another "something" I am excited about is a new book that
arrived today: Writing Tools - 55 Essential Strategies for Every Writer"
by Roy Peter Clark. My writer friend, Marjorie, recommended the book on her
blog this week. Check her out at https://marjorieapple.substack.com/.
Meanwhile, Joe spent the day watering the lawn and plants ahead of the
expected frost. Late this afternoon he went to the garage to work on setting up
his shop. He came in for dinner and helped with the dishes before heading back
out to do more shop organizational work. He is happiest when he has the right
tool(s) to fix or make items.
Come to think of it, I appreciate the right tools for the job I am
doing as well. This idea is from years of hearing Joe talk about how easy it is
to do almost anything if you have the right tool(s).
What is your favorite tool today?
