“Cooking”

August 27, 2018 by Mellie Dee Leave a Comment

Work was rough. Sleeping late killed me but I trudged on. I had a meeting during lunch and they provided pizza. I gladly skipped it for my homemade pesto pasta instead. Yum!

I came home and “cooked” dinner for Scruffy and June. “Cooking” because I oven backed the salmons, microwaved the Brussels and sweet potato.

*Don’t worry. June made sure to split that potato in half for later.

We we’re fixing to play Clue but realized it’ll be silly since it’ll just be the two of us so, back to Diablo it is while my aloe mask sits til dry. I’m loving my relaxing after work days. Having Scruffy here makes it easier for me to do so.

Caldo de Res

I’ve been on a Caldo de Res kick. Delicious! I finished the whole entire thing and felt gross afterward. I thought I’d fall into a food coma but luckily, and not so luckily, I became super busy at work so that kept me going.

I’m not sure how many times I’ve made his shrimp boil the picture of the day but it always makes me super satisfied. Thanks for cooking and taking care of the pups!!

Audiobooks on Speed

[2018] 234/365: Audiobooks on Speed

If you know me you know I love to listen to books when I am busy, i.e. driving and working.

I’ve always used Overdrive, borrowing books from the library, but they started moving towards Libby.

I just discovered that you can speed up the reading up to 2x faster than normal! I’m good at the 1.75x speed.

I downloaded Lauren Graham’s book this morning. Her book is over four and a half hour and I was able to finish it before then! I loved her book and was sad when I realized it was over.

Now I’m closer to my Goodreads goal for the year on finishing twelve books by the end of the year. Finishing Lauren’s book in record time brought me up to seven books so far! And I’m already a third of the way finished on the next book.

I am that excited to have found this feature that I had to write about it. I’m sure Overdrive had it too but I never had the chance to play with it to find out.

Courthouse Views

After work I went over to Sissy and BIL’s house since I had court late from my accident a month ago. Sissy picked up Kim Son on the way home from work. I shared the wings with BIL said had a little of my lo mien. I’m excited to bring that to work for lunch.

[2018] 233/365: Courthouse View

We watched a couple of episode of The Office and then talked about houses before Sissy dropped me off at the courthouse. Things are fast pace there and I was in and out in less than thirty minutes. Sissy came to pick me back up and we are headed back to her place.

Shower, FaceTime with Scruffy and the pups, and relax before bed. Night, everyone!

Coco

The day started out with an Asian buffet. We finished eating pretty quickly since there only so much we could eat. I was sad the crawfish was much more horrible than ever but overall everything was good.

[2018] 231/365: Coco the Movie

Scruffy and I finally watched Coco. I’ve heard so many great things about it but never had the chance to sit down to watch it but I’m glad we did. It reminds me a lot a out my Grandma’s beliefs and we are Asian!

Scruffy ordered his usual Chimichanga from Los Cucos and I decided to try their Caldo de Res. I’ve been in a soup mood that I even meal prepped soup!

Their soup isn’t as clean and clear as what I’m used to having with Caldo de Res but it was still delicious. I couldn’t even finish half of what they gave me!

Scruffy has long gone home with Luna and Rizzo. Tomorrow’s a new day of work and I cannot wait to see them all again in a few days.
