It was almost a very productive night last night, but the amount of preparation and cleanup involved with the two dishes I made last night, after doing a hard 45 minute workout on the trainer, did me in.
Originally I was going to make an Instant Pot’s worth of “baked†beans, and bell peppers stuffed with couscous, cheese, and sausage. The first time I made the beans it was great, last night’s rendition was not as good. When I realized how long it was going to take to cook the stuffed peppers I decided to ditch the idea of stuffing the peppers and bake an impromptu couscous casserole instead; this turned out amazingly well.
I am making today all about me, starting the day at the Waschsalon sans WiFi hence no photo of the couscous casserole. Update, here it is!
BTW- the green you see is basil.
Have a great, and most likely wet weekend friends.
nothing too exciting going on for us –
got a re-gifting party Saturday night, that’s always entertaining.
Awww I haven’t been to one of these in a long time! Every year the memories of ours pop up though (Jesus clocks! See Do Hear No Evil Monkeys! “I got a rock.”) and they make me smile every time.
we still have the monkeys!
I still have the Jesus clock, but must admit I have been considering getting rid of it as I whittle down my possessions.
We’re sitting at breakfast at the Huddle and both read the description of your cooking last night as a single dish- yuck! Then realized it was 2- sorry.
Celebrating my birthday today with a nice dinner somewhere as yet determined. Hopefully a bicycle ride today before the monsoon starts again. Dusted off the scooter for a half hour yesterday.

Oops, my prose is a bit confusing. This is what happens when I wing it. Mmmmmm, wings… 😋
Went on a day trip yesterday to Butts County (where I saw a Huddle House! :)), that included a spur-of-the-moment stop at Tanger Outlet Mall where I scored a pair of Columbia hiking shoes on clearance for $19.99. I hope they fit (I can somehow never tell if shoes fit… 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸).
Hehehe, you said butts… 😂
what did you go to see in Butts county?
I love you went to a deserted mall in Gwinnett too.
Barb, for the same reason we went to the deserted mall—“Stranger Things†filming locations. We went to downtown Jackson yesterday which is the “downtown†of the city in the show (Hawkins, Indiana). The husband is really into the show (I like it too).
Showing my age and the influence of advertising as I read that last parenthetical in an Irish accent. Thanks, Irish Spring!
I tried to get him to go hiking yesterday but he wanted to do this. I won a small battle today as he conceded to walk on the (paved) Beltline. 😂
