1. This morning my workout at the Fitness Center sealed for me that my plan to go there around, say, 10 or 11:00 is my ticket to being active and sleeping deeply. I won't be able to return on Sunday because of a Westminster Basement Zoom get together, but I'll be back on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and maybe on Thursday before I drive to Oregon.
2. I enjoyed a peaceful afternoon finishing up what has been my morning routine. I successfully completed the NYTimes puzzles Connections and Strands and the Sunday crossword became available in the afternoon and by the time I went to sleep, I had completed most of it.
3. Debbie left for an hour or so late this afternoon to relax at The Lounge. On her way out the door, we agreed that I would use some of the ground beef I just purchased on Friday and make a spaghetti sauce.
I experienced two mental lapses.
First, I forgot that Christy gave us a jar of her homemade tomato sauce and that I could have used it to make the spaghetti sauce.
Next time!
Secondly, when I went to the basement pantry to get tomato products, along with a can of diced tomatoes, I accidentally also brought up a can of spicy tomato soup.
So, our spaghetti sauce was a combination of diced tomatoes, tomato soup, red pepper, onion, mushrooms, ground beef, garlic, and seasonings.
But, guess what?
My mental lapse turned out to be awesome.
The soup worked deliciously and Debbie and I were really happy with what a great spaghetti dinner this turned out to be.
And now we can look forward to another one some time using Christy's sauce -- I'm hoping that writing about it will keep my on and off memory from forgetting we have it!
