We expected our new electric fireplace to arrive sometime today which meant that only one of us could go play pickleball this morning. Guess who that was! I stayed home and commandeered the satellite all day, flipping from one to the other with merry abandon.
I also showed my Yankee roots. Son Jeremy gave me a piece of smoked pork shoulder. Now, a true Southerner would have plopped that baby in a pot of beans for hambean soup. I plopped that baby in a pot of green beans and potatoes, but not before I stripped it of all that smoky stuff off the outside, then-Oh horror of horrors! I took off all the fat! Unthinkable!!! I didn’t stop there either. I put in a lot of cabernet sauvignon for added flavor along with a lot of onions and garlic. Delicious!
In the afternoon Duane took over Looking For The Delivery Guy duty while I did laundry. Delivery Guy arrived about 6pm and left us with our new electric heater. Of course it wasn’t a swift job of swapping out the broken one with the new one, but we got ‘er done eventually. Now we can quit burning propane.
Topped off the evening with a cup of hot tea and some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies—still warm!
Ahhhh!
Louise and Duane
