Was thrilled to enjoy a deep-snow sleep (the ONLY good thing about the S-word), not waking up until 9:25. Was thrilled to see that the hot lemon drink and simple cough lozenge did the trick of relieving a possible allergic difficulty-to-swallow reaction. But, then, all thought of being productive deserted me. No dismantling of the bed to affix the bed risers. Nuh-huh. OTOH, I did manage to debox the new electric skillet (hey, the Styrofoam was wedged in very tightly), but didn't screw the arm/leg combo on yet. Still, I did d/l the user manual. I also searched for chicken recipes, something I can serve church-John when I have him over for his birthday. I finally decided I'm going to invent a recipe, following both Italian (herbs, onion, black olives, pasta) and Polish (mushrooms, miniature multi-colour peppers, sour cream) influences, along with a generous application of rosé wine (which provides more body and a heightened flavour than white). I'm rather excited by the entire project and have decided this is the dish I'm going to make (as a practice run) just for myself on Christmas Day. Yay!
Speaking of entertaining, I also sent an invite to Ash for her upcoming birthday (close to c-John's). I was mortified that we hadn't celebrated her birthday this year until mid March. So, fine, we were also acknowledging St. Paddy's day and the beginning of spring, but I certainly hope we can do her birthday within her month, namely January. Her party will be a lot easier, as I serve a different flavour of chicken wings along with nibbles and grapefruit juice & vodka.
Just happened to have the TV on in the afternoon. Jim Parsons was a guest on Ellen promoting a new film (whose name I didn't quite catch). It's really timely to have been released as it's about three unacknowledged women who were vital in the effort to get John Glenn into orbit. I guess I'll make an effort to see it in a real movie theatre (and hope for semi-decent weather). In the evening, I watched a totally unbelievable epi of MacGyver where our intrepid trio managed to avert WWIII in Shanghai, as Mac cobbled together a GPS disruptor to make the misslle headed to the States blow up. ::widens eyes dramatically:: Yeah, sure. Whatever. Still, the actor who plays Mac is SO pretty. Mmmmhmmmmmmm.
Bed is calling my name and I haven't even had my hot lemon drink. I guess I'll succumb. Soft kitty, purr, purr, purr.
