beansideIt's Friday! We've almost made it to the weekend! Tonight, weirdly, we have no games scheduled, so I'm just going to take it easy and make some nice feta and spinach pasta for dinner, and go to bed early and sleep until I can't sleep any more.
But first, I have to get through another day at work. This week has been a real bitch. We've been super busy, and it seems like I'm getting all the really complex calls/new patients, etc. I only took 40 calls yesterday despite working my ass off, because I swear, every caller was a new patient or had like five orders to schedule. Or had a multi-phase study that required the timing to be perfect for each thing. Good lord, it was a lot.
To make up for it, I had some very sweet older ladies who took the time to tell me how pleasant and nice I was, which always makes one feel good.
After work, I made glazed carrots, which turned out really well. I didn't have brown sugar, so I whisked together white sugar and molasses with butter and salt and pepper. Then, I got the carrots coated and baked them for about 30 minutes on 400 degrees. They tasted so good. Next time, I need to get a second pound of carrots, and a second sheet pan, and bake them all together, because I'm pretty sure my sister and Jess would have eaten them, too. As it was, there was only a little bit for seconds. The main course was just a left over bacon wrapped pork loin, but all in all, it was a good dinner.
Tomorrow, I need to decide what I'm going to make for dinner. I've got a bit of everything in the fridge, so I've got choices. I'm considering the merits of something with a little kick. I don't know what yet. Or possibly faux Chinese. I have some good stir fry veggies that I could throw in. I think I need to get something different in next week's food order. Maybe some cornish hens, and turkey and maybe some fish. I saw a great recipe for gochujang salmon that I'd like to try.
These days, with money tight, I'm getting my entertainment from cooking. I find that I really enjoy making food for my family. It makes me feel good to put something on the table that is really good tasting and/or healthy.
Since tomorrow we only have one game, and it'll be done at 3, I could make something a little bit fancy. I will think on it.
Okay, time for me to consider putting on some pants and starting the day. Everyone have a wonderful Friday!
