It’s been a strange several days… cold and cloudy days. It started with me looking at SciFi network on TV… they had several “end of the world” movies back to back. The end almost came due to global warming, earthquakes, ice and finally, a BLACK HOLE. Well, there is some truth in it all…. I do believe in global warming and am concerned about the consequences. So then, we have been having very unusually cool weather for June. Overnight in the 40’s and days in the 60’s if we are lucky. The last nice day was over Memorial Day weekend. Then there are those “lovely” worms (tent caterpillars) that are all over despite the spraying we got last week. I then started reading Steven King’s “Cell”… talk about spooky!!! I’m not done but it is thought provoking. I don’t usually read King, but it was available at the library so…… and now I have to finish it!
All this end of the world stuff makes you stop and think. I even had a bad dream the other night dealing with things from the past (enough said). Normally we hang lose up here… but I woke with my heart beating hard…. And I got up early. No more dreams… must have been the spicy dinner.
We had chicken for dinner tonight. I mention that because for some reason I have not been able to do roast chicken - it is always under cooked. Today I used the convection oven… convection roast at 425 for 30 minutes then down to 325 for another 35... And it was done and GOOD. I also had stuffing…. A box mix I doctored up using the fresh spices I’m growing. So, it was a good meal. Yea new oven!!!
It’s supposed to get warmer this week… up to the 80’s by the weekend. Let’s hope it does get warmer!!
