Just finished cutting up vegetables for a stir-fry supper in the electric wok. No meat included this time. Will serve over rice. Had cabbage, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and brocolli, along with a packet of stir fry sauce. Once in awhile we get hungry for Chinese and this way we won't overeat like we do in a buffet restaurant. Have a recipe for Mongolian Beef that will be my next attempt.
Boyfriend spent most of the day working in the Venny garden getting new raised beds filled with dirt. Soon will be time to plant....cannot wait for fresh veggies. More and more people are planting gardens this year cuz of grocery prices.
So much chatter about supposed food shortages on the horizon. Nothing would surprise me, but am not going to get myself in a premature frazzle. My concern lies with those who weren't raised by Depression-Era parents. Think probably that was one of our generation's finest gifts....we learned how to do without, we learned to make do with what we had, we wore hand-me-downs, we ate food that was put on our plates, we watched our parents work hard and wanted to help them. Cannot get my brain wrapped around the humungous change in 75 years.
Rained a few drops around 5 o'clock. Dale took Cuddy out for his 5 o'clock walk and now he's good till 10:30 tonight. Got a text message and picture from Cuddy's mom and dad. They're in Vegas tonight before driving off to visit the national parks out west. I'm traveling along with them through their photos. Am content to now travel through videos, vlogs of younger ones taking on the world.
Heard tonight that a human has contracted the bird flu that's now causing havoc to our poultry industry. Didn't realize humans could get it. Seems it's one disaster after another the last couple of years. Then there's the business of propoganda.....is there truth to anything? anywhere?
Have decided that I'm not so keen on Conan Doyle's other writings besides his Sherlock Holmes stories. Some of his writings, I find, include bits of animal cruelty. For me, personally, that's a turn-off simply because it upsets me. Am pleased to have Doyle's genres to compare. Have only 1,000 pages to go. So much more enjoyed the Holmes and Watson mystery stories.
Tis cold out today. Nice evening to cuddle in. Ta-ta.
