Rested well, perhaps enough.

My feet are feeling better.  I am feeling pretty good.  I've got my eyes on a couple of little projects.  I will take pictures of the Christmas lights.  They are still up.  It will just take some work.  I know the settings I want, I just don't know, exactly, what the display is indicating.  I know how to change some of them, but not all of them, exactly.  I will have to experiment, and see how the pictures turn out.  I just have to look up a few things, then set the camera, find the angles I want, and... *snap*

As well, I need to set up medicine, do some dishes and set up a last load, then clean the kitchen.  Taking the trash out while I am at it.  More, I have the ingredients for menudo thawing.  It's a Mexican tripe soup.  It requires making a chili roux, slicing then cooking the tripe in the pressure cooker along with pigs feet, then mixing it all and letting it simmer until of the correct consistency.  An easy meal, mostly.  But it is of several stages, takes time, and with the roux a bit of very specific attention.  I haven't mastered this yet, but I have done it before, and relatively recently.

I will try to knock things out in an order that makes sense.  Doing the dishes that are in a rinse first will allow me to clear the dishes from the kitchen, and clean the kitchen a bit, then I can start on menudo.  Once I have the roux done, I will have to wait on the pressure cooker, so can either set the camera up, or perhaps even get it set up and take some pictures, the first batch.  When the pressure cooker is done, I can then stir the roux, or enchilada sauce really, right in and then let that simmer together.  Depending on how the camera setup and/or picture taking went, I can then decide my next step with that.  Finally, for desert, a second meal for today.  Sure liked the first one.  Squash lasagne, and a very tasty one.  I can keep the menudo for a good three days, to week, of some of my favorite eats... if it turns out well.

Oh, and a part of the reason I like cats.  Sure, I like dogs too.  It just isn't the same.  They sure remind me of women.  Puppy love does not work with them either. 

Back to it, I suppose.  Later.
