Three Beautiful Things 11-26-2024: Homemade Morning Glory Muffins, Celery Stuffing, Stir Fry for Dinner

1. I experienced unexpected and stubborn lower right leg pain Monday night into Tuesday morning and in my groggy state around 3 a.m. I suddenly remembered that my new kidney can tolerate Tylenol and that I had a bottle on the table next to my bed. 

I downed a couple of tablets and, quickly, the pain subsided. It didn't return all day. 

So I slept in and was kind of slow getting to my projects for today, but, by early afternoon, I figured out what ingredients I needed at Yoke's, shopped, came home, and had a lot of fun baking nearly two dozen Morning Glory muffins. 

2. While those baked and once I put things away, I made the stuffing to put in celery sticks for our Thanksgiving appetizer. I'm hoping I won't get kicked out of the house because I didn't make this stuffing the way Mom did, but I like the results of the recipe I used and I think this different kind of stuffed celery will be just fine.

3. Debbie had an after school parent conference and the parents got delayed and so she didn't arrive home until after 6:00 or so. 

But, when she walked in the door, she discovered that I had a really good stir fry ready to eat, staying warm in the wok. I had air fried a block of tofu. I heated up a packet of Trader Joe's Thai Wheat Noodles. I stir fried a half a red onion, red pepper slices, a crown of broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas, cabbage, spinach leaves, yellow squash, and maybe other vegetables, and added a generous amount of fresh basil leaves. 

We each added whatever sauce we wanted to our individual helpings. 

This dinner worked -- and then some -- it was superb.
