It's Why We Became Organizers in the First Place...
Wow. We had an excellent rally up in Scranton on Saturday. Beautiful weather (a bit cold, but sunny), huge turnout (over 300 people) and fabulous addresses by the nurses and the community members. Anna (this is getting really funny, because Anna is a code name, not her real name, but there is now a real Anna who also spoke!) spoke and was fantastic! So was the real Anna, as it turns out. It was a great event. My mom came up from Reading, my old friend Myrna and her husband who is from Scranton attended, my organizers did a great job, and Edward was happy.
Then I came home!!! Home!!! After four days on the road!!!! MR made me his Thai green curry quorn with veggies for dinner, which was amazing and I hadn't had in a long time. Then he made Sunday breakfast: a huge eggwhite scramble with veggies for me. We've had a lovely day together, though I did have something of an ordeal at the grocery store. I made it to the gym, and I'm finishing up the housecleaning... then I have to jump back on the phone for work. I'm on the road again from Wednesday morning - Friday night.
Meanwhile, here were my Sunday cooking expeditions:
Lunch:
Yellow squash
cauliflower
cilantro
Quorn tenders
eggwhites
avocado
cooked in cider vinegar and water with some lemon juice, plus chili powder, plus some Philly hogie hot pepper sauce that my mom gave us.
Dinner didn't go as well. For only the second time in three years, I made something MR didn't like. Neither of us knows what went wrong: it was eggplant, Quorn, asparagus (which granted was overcooked) in red wine vinegar with capers and garlic and parsley. He thought it lacked flavor, so I spiced it up with Walden Farms Marinara and some garlic tabasco. Nope, that wasn't good either. He still ate it, but usually he loves his food and this time not so much.
I'm off to do some calls for work and then some housecleaning before bed...
