I thought the above song was totally appropriate for today... considering I have this pink eye thing going on with a fever and a cold that feels like it's turned the corner into bronchitus. So, I am literally grounded at home until tomorrow morning's doctor appointment. Gack.
Having said all of that, when you feel this horrorific, you gotta move on and find something postive and meaningful to do in your day.
With me that would be... you guessed it food. After Jeff tooled off to work I zapped together a Salted Caramel Mocha.

It's a very beautiful late summer morning that has a very early autumn vibe to it which inspired tonight's dinner. I heated up a skillet, poured olive oil in and heated. To this I added nice sized portions of a very thick London Broil. After browning I placed in crock pot.
I then added sliced onions to the beef renderings, soaking up the flavor, along with the remaining olive oil. Added that to the crock pot, in addition, with mushrooms, freshly grated ginger, fresh garlic, diced tomatoes, sliced potatoes, seasonings and burgundy wine. They'll be hanging out in the pool over the afternoon while they simmer away. Add freshly baked crusty French bread and slices of creamy cheese. Voila! Dinner will be ready when Jeff arrives.
I'm a creature of habit. I love shopping for our weekend menu on Friday afternoon, after work, in Sonora, hitting all my fav shops along the way home. Being grounded, upsets that apple cart, so to speak. Not that I have an exhorbitant amount of excess energy today.
Although, I do have enough to swat away Zena from my salted carmel mocha.The dangers of blogging. Apparently, she was under the misguided assumption that it was for her. Actually, I think it was the whipped cream that caught her attention. Silly girl!
