WAKE UP

I am so sleepy today, I should get this old body moving. I woke at 630, and opened the bedroom door, I went back to sleep and woke at 730 then back to sleep, again at 830, and made my eyes stay open.
I drug myself to the kitchen and made oatmeal and poured a glass of milk.Now I sit here reading and writing, Knowing the day is heating up.
I should be busy but I am at a I DO NOT WANT TO stage.
Yesterday I cleaned the two bedrooms, total cleaning, as in dusting everything, sweeping cobwebs and touching up paint. That room looks show ready. Next on to my room with the same work finally being accomplished.
During all this I managed to put 6 quarts of green beans in the freezer. I had planned to put my squash in but ran out of freezer bags.
I also made David a batch of cookies, He has been hungry for something sweet and as he said, 'Not Ice Cream". I made white chocolate chip with craisins.
For dinner we had squash, lightly browned, and topped with Parmesan, with eggplant added for good measure. It was fantastic. I planted the white eggplant this year. It is so mild, and when I added it to the squash, It tasted like Fried Green Tomatoes.

Recipe,

Slice small squash, peel eggplant,

place in skillet with about 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp butter,

with a dash of pepper.

Heat, add squash and eggplant, brown lightly,

(keep layers shallow so you do not make squash mushy)

when fork tender top with Parmesan and remove from heat.

Serve with salt if desired.

I do not use a lot of salt or oil, some would add lots of butter and oil but it is not necessary and .
I use olive oil in all my cooking, I prefer fresh Parmesan but had the dried on hand and it worked as well. I generally only add pepper.
I work most of my recipes to allow for he least fat and seasoning. When you add seasoning you disguise the flavor of the real food.
This is all my theories, I have pretty much taught my husband to leave the salt in the cupboard.
Do I ever use salt? Yes I do but find I use less as time goes on, I love the flavor of baked potato with no additives.

Above is my squash recipe, I hope yo try it and let me know how you feel about it. Wonderful flavor. I am sure that will be a taste treat for us a few times this summer.
Maybe David will not tire of squash so quickly.
I then made dinner and sat down, I barely moved the rest of the evening, I worked crossword puzzles and watched three of my favorite shows.
"Amazing Grace" and "The Closer" and "Bones".
All strong women with character. Grace I love, her show is for mature audiences only, but she seems real. Not a nice person but she faces life head on, she laughs a lot, she loves even more and she has her own angel. One that is not what we typically think of as an Angel. He dips and he is very silly and follows her through life, trying to show her the way to God.
She fights it with all she has but she is Amazing. The show is set in OK City. They often show a scene taped at the OK bombing site and how it has affected the policemen in that city.
This is information in case you have not watched it,
The "Closer", she is great too, again a very strong woman, having to prove she can do the job well. And Close the cases.
"Bones" A very intelligent woman who really has no life outside her job. She walks and talks her knowledge.
So that was my day and evening, not too exciting but I did accomplish a lot and went to bed totally wiped out.
Now I think I will go back, it is waiting for me to return.
