Just Piddling

I can find more things to piddle in. For example I walked into the garage for something. I don't even remember what. Then I decided to look for a mirror I had hand painted a few years ago. (it seems to have disappeared).
I began going through my china painting stuff, (china, Paints, Brushes) I realized I had a whole card of Dresden brushes I had never taken off the card.
My paints are dried up, I dropped one piece of china, (broke in 1000 pieces) at least it was not my bone china. Although it is just stuff and can be replaced.
I then began looking for rose tie backs I bought at Penney's, I found 3, Like that does me any good, I still have one missing. I need to prepare a box of Mommy's stuff for my Daughter. Things I know she would use.
I found my old, 45 years old, first potato masher. That came in the house with me.
Last time I brought something old in David ran it in the garbage disposal. (accident).
Those are pictured on a post a ways back. A few months. My first measuring spoons.
I finally came in to rest a while, when I smelled something burning, Smelled like burned potatoes. I had not cooked anything so what is that? I panic. I began to run to the back of the house when I pass the oven and realize it is still on.
I had began baking butternut squash and forgot all about them.
They are nice and mushy now, Will make great soup this cold winter.
I chastised myself for panicking. That was ridiculous and I knew it had to be food I smelled.
So I am off now to take it out of the oven, (should be cool now) and package it in freezer bags. Whew one more thing done.
As you can see I feel so much better, guess the antibiotics are working.

Hi Sue,

I do a lot of piddling myself. LOL.

So, you bake the butternit squash and freeze it? Sounds easy. I never had butternut squash soup, but it sounds delicious. Do you just defrost it and then cook it with some kind of broth?

I'm glad the antibiotics are working, and you're feeling much better.

Take care!
