Busy Bee

We are having the Elders over

for dinner tonight.

Thursday is our night...

It's the night Rod is off early.

Although every other Thursday he

has to drive down to Vero Beach

for High Council meetings.

Anyway.

Also, Mother Hubbard's cupboards

were looking a little bare.

Yesterday I made a dozen deviled eggs

for Rod's lunches.

And the day before I made some

homemade chocolate covered marshmallows.

But today I whipped up a couple of

cans of chickpeas in the air fryer.

Time to clean the air fryer again!

Makes for a good little grab and go

energy bite.

And they are pretty tasty!

I just rinsed them and then tossed them

in a little Lowry's Season Salt.

40 minutes in the air fryer.

Just hit start and forget about them.

The basket rotates so I don't have to worry

about stirring them.

I also made up a "Giant Blueberry Pancake"

for Rod to eat for breakfasts.

This 9x13 pan makes 8 single servings that

he can just grab, stick in the microwave for

a minute and top with some sugar free maple syrup.

(And toss a couple fresh blueberries on top

as long as we have them!)

Speaking of blueberries.

Even after all the ice cream,

baked goods,

hand fulls,

etc

we still have a box and a third left.

I put a bunch into a big 2 quart glass

jar in the fridge for munching on.

And the rest went onto cookie sheets

in the freezer for enjoying later.

Those will go in a giant zippie bag once they are frozen.

They last us for most of the year.

(Mostly because I get burned out on blueberry stuff,

switch to something else and then forget they are there!)

We actually have 2 quart bags left from last year's crop!

I'll be using some of those for tonight's

fresh blueberry ice cream.

And then I got out my Shark steamer and cleaned 

all the tile floors.

It does a really good job, but unlike my

wet swiffer, it is just water so there's no

"clean" smell when I'm done.

So I grabbed my essential oil I used to diffuse

and put a drop in there.

And now my house smells very refreshingly

eucalyptus and clove.

It won't last very long.

But neither will my clean floor.
