Holy Saturday

I totally wasted this day. And, I say that with no regret.

I only went outside once, to fill the bird and squirrel feeders. I attempted to hand feed a squirrel (he'd come within 3 feet before he stopped and I'd toss him a peanut)

Lunch was the remaining fried chicken legs and a green salad

So, what DID I do? Read an entire book: "Act of God" a John Cuddy mystery written by Jeremiah Healy. And, I also watched the movie "The Fellowship of the Ring" again (well, I did doze off during the middle of it. Hey, it's like four hours long!)

Dinner tonight? Wild rice and a steak. Took the steak out and rubbed it with an herb mixture Jake gave me. Let it come up to room temperature while I started the wild rice. Now, I have tried a lot of wild rice mixtures, even expensive gourmet ones, but I like the original Uncle Ben's the best, the one that has like 23 herbs and takes 25 minutes to cook. Only thing I do different is to use chicken stock instead of water.

Went to bed around 10:00 PM, after cleaning up the kitchen.

Nice to take a day off every now and then...
