Leaving the office, 20080820we2257

It's really been a whirlwind of a day. This evening, I worked a little bit on the property liquidation project that began over a month ago. There's still much more to do on that. I spent about two hours with a computer client, and then returned to my office by about 9PM.

We're in the final days of the month and I still have a book I need to finish formatting for a colleague that needs to be sent to the printer within the next few days. I'm needing to write up my personal update, the Resources for Life Newsletter, and the Small House Society newsletter. So, it's going to be a busy next few days. This evening, I posted the Heart Songs selections for August (something I do prior to sending out the monthly newsletters). So, I'm happy to have that done. I'm heading home now and will start on things again tomorrow.

Dinner at The Bread Garden Market, 20080820we1725

It's been a long and busy day. For lunch, I had a sandwich from Jimmy Johns just because it was the only place I knew of that could create a sandwich in about 2 minutes which is all I had for a lunch break. It was nice to sit down to a meal this evening.

Dinner is Served, 20080819tu2030

The utensils used here are Gerber brand baby utensils. I like these because I can easily carry them with me when eating out. This allows me to avoid using plastic utensils. My beverage of choice is water.

Cooking Dinner, 20080819tu2011

The pan on the left has minced garlic simmering with spices. The pan on the right is veggies (carots, sweet peas, green beans, corn, lima beans, and onion).

The spices used for cooking are shown below and include Black Pepper, Chili Powder, Crushed Red Pepper, Garlic Powder, Ground Cumin, Ground Sage, Onion Powder, and Powdered Ginger. Some Louisiana hot sauce was also used (also shown below).
