Three Beautiful Things 02-05-2025: Powdery Snow, Getting Stuff Done, Quick Tasty Meal Cooked from Scratch

1. It's cold outside. Not frigid, but cold. And we've had snowfall in Kellogg. Combined, the cold and the snow create powder, so when I leapt out of bed at 6:00 this morning to shovel our sidewalks and Christy's, the task was light, thanks to the dry fluffy snow. 

2. Being up early, working, energized me. I got things done. I drove to Walmart shortly after 8:00 and picked up the curbside order I made last night and put the groceries away at home. I had a wheel retorqued on the Sube. I took care of a vaccine at Yoke's. None of these were big deals, but I've procrastinated them and enjoyed no longer having that pesky inner voice nagging me to get them done. 

3. Debbie arrived home from school hungry and I told her I could make us a quick meal, thanks to the electric frying pan! 

I promptly sliced a half a white onion, combined the slices in the frying pan with sliced mushrooms, yellow squash disks, and baby spinach leaves and made them pop a bit with sprinkles of Ajika Georgian Seasoning Blend.  At the same time, I seasoned two small boneless pork chops with rosemary, salt, and pepper and before long all of these food items were done, as were the florets of cauliflower I steamed. 

It all took about twenty-five minutes and proved to be a delicious combination of meat and vegetables.
