Florida Winter

Ok Florida.

That's enough winter.

Thank you, though.

It was cold and windy and rainy today.

And I hated it.

There's a reason we live in Florida.

And this is NOT it!

And tomorrow isn't supposed to be

any better.

In fact it is supposed to be worse.

90% chance of rain.

High of 58.

(Should be 72)

I know, I know...

Wah wah wah.

But this is FLORIDA.

It isn't supposed to be like this.

AND

tomorrow is the day we are supposed

to get our new leather couch and chair.

I don't think we should pick it up

if there is 90% chance of rain...

which means

ANOTHER delay!!!!

Sheesh.

They are saying Thursday is still going

to be cold, but at least it isn't supposed

to be raining.

Maybe we can pick it up then???

Meanwhile,

since it was cold,

I did "inside the house" sorts of things.

Laundry, dishes, cleaned the kitchen.

Then I pulled a package of soup bones

out of the deep freeze.

Put them in a 400 degree oven

and roasted them for 40 minutes

till they were nice and brown and

delicious smelling.

Then I put them in the pressure cooker

with some celery and some

raw apple cider vinegar and a bunch of water.

"They" said to let it sit for 30 minutes

to pull the marrow out of the bones.

So I did.

Then I turned on the pressure cooker

and set it for 2 hours.

It just now turned off, so once the

pressure releases, I'm excited to open

it up and see my bone broth!

I'm planning to put some in a quart jar

and put it in the fridge for cooking

this week.  The rest is going to go

into freezer bags and lay flat in the freezer.

Meanwhile,

while I was roasting the bones,

I put a big ol' sweet potato in the

pressure cooker for 15 minutes

and let it cook.

Pressure cooker sweet potatoes

are out of this world delicious!

They come out SO SWEET!

Once that was done, I cut it in half

and put some sugar free maple syrup on it

and made a big ol' mug of hot chocolate

with some collagen and coconut oil

all mixed in (makes it healthy and also

gives it a really smooth, rich mouth feel

so it feels like I made it with whole milk,

but really it was almond milk).

That was my delicious lunch!

Breakfast, (cuz I KNOW you want to know)

was 2 fresh eggs, fried in butter,

a bunch of frozen okra and turkey bacon chunks

roasted together in my air fryer,

and another big ol' mug of 

"Healing chocolate trimmacinno".

(hot chocolate with protein and collagen

and coconut oil...)

I love my fake paper plates and beautiful
mugs I got from my Mom and sisters
a couple of years ago.

For the rest of the day I sat on the couch,

knitting a new blanket for the living room,

and listened to the first Harry Potter book

on my Kindle.

I am ready for winter to be 

OVER!
