Alone

Eighteen entries and there's only a month left for the year. I suck at blogging. I admire those people who keeps their commitment to their blog. I have chanced upon quite a few who regularly updates their blog. Most of them are about cooking. Well, I suck at cooking too! So there! I just don't have a venue for blogging. My life is not that exciting. I live in Spooner, WI. Nothing happens in Spooner. But I like having the opportunity to write once in a while. It's nice to go back and read my thoughts.

Speaking of cooking, I made pinakbet, leche flan and banana bread tonight. I am home alone. Rick had to go help out his mom for a couple of days. So, I took this opportunity to make dishes that I don't usually prepare when he's here. He doesn't eat vegetables and he can't have sweets. Our usual meals consist of meat and potatoes. My version of dessert is unwrapping a chocolate bar. He doesn't stop me from making my own meals or indulge on a sweet treat, but, it's just a hassle making two separate dishes! The vegetables was such a nice change that, right now, I feel like I'm going to blow up from overeating! The leche flan didn't turn out too well. I found out afterwards that you're suppose to mix by hand, not with an electric mixer. I'm bringing the bread to work tomorrow. Hopefully they'll like it.

It's almost midnight and I'm tired. But, I couldn't sleep. I hate being alone in this big empty house. Well, our house is not big, but it sure feels like it when you're all alone! It's times like this when I wish that my chaotic family was here. I miss them. Heck, I missed them when I was there! The thought of leaving them again made me miss them. Anyway, I am tired because I raked the yard this afternoon. It was nice out, sun was shining and it was in the fifties. Perfect day for raking! It helped kept me from being too lonesome. But boy, is our yard huge! Got blisters, my back and arms are sore! I'll whine to Rick when he gets home. I might make him baked macaroni tomorrow if I feel like it.

Check this out! She's got really good recipes! They're easy to make too.
