Snow day! Starting tonight…

It’s official, it’s a snow day at work, so I’ve got tomorrow off with the furballs, and maybe Eric, too!  I already dropped the kittens in the snow and they seemed to like it!   Zeno stayed low like a ferret, and Cali was off exploring.  ^_^

Maybe tomorrow I’ll make valentines cupcakes or something… When it comes to the holidays, even the cheesy ones, it’s a good excuse to bake and not feel guilty!  We’ll see what I can make with what I have in my cabinets…

yesterday, ‘nother sick day.

I’m sitting here boiling away with a fever at work, not the greatest feeling in the world.

But… here are my furballs who kept me company while I napped away the day… These are my cuties, both around a year old (not from the same litter) with very similar markings!

Zeno’s the big one on the left (getting pudgy!) and Cali on the right, she’s tiny as anything and she’ll probably stay that way.

Frozen ju from French Chicken in a Pot

Also, yesterday I took the left over ju from the French Chicken in a Pot and preserved by freezing it in an ice cube tray and saving it in a ziplock bag in the back of the freezer!  Now when we cook chicken breasts that we often have frozen we can just heat these cubes up and pour it over when it’s time to serve! Mmm left over happiness!

Also got to catch up with my Mom on the phone… gushed about my first successful whole bird I’ve cooked!  And all the recipes I’m pondering and such…

As I may have mentioned before, one of my last few visits home ended up with the two of us in the kitchen cooking a late night dinner of pepper steak and green beans and wild rice…  It as so much fun, I look forward to doing that again soon!

Also, last night I got a nice complement from Eric, he said that he’s been enjoying my cooking (with a bit of his help!) and he’s said he’s just felt better, and aside from his workout routine, he’s felt a bit lighter too!  Surprising to me, considering how much butter seems to end up in nearly every dish! But *yay!* A happy Eric and family means a happy me. (“aww…”)
