It's been a good week overall. Not a whole lot in the way of fun but I did get a little bit in there. At least things that are fun for me! As you know, I love cooking my Sunday meal. I have started referring to it as a Sunday meal rather than lunch or dinner because it's my big meal for the day and has lately been sometime in the middle of the afternoon. So, last Sunday I tried two new recipes and loved them both. One was for hamburger gravy. I saw something about this on YouTube. I was watching a video about cheap meals from the 70s and this was one of them. I thought it sounded good, so I looked up a recipe to try. It was so simple but so filling. I served it over cheesy mashed potatoes and will definitely make it again. In fact, I plan on cooking it to take to Dad and June next week.
The other recipe I tried was okra and tomatoes. This is Paula Deen's recipe. I saw it on an episode of her first cooking show and wrote down the recipe. This was the one to beat. I was not sure if I would like it or if it would be anything special but good grief was it good. It was my favorite thing from last Sunday's meal. I shared it with two other people and they both agreed that it was very good! Another keeper I will have in my recipe collection.
I have been picking up my daily walking and have really enjoyed it. Last Saturday, I decided to take my walk in one of Greensboro's many parks. I opted for the Bicentennial Gardens. It's located on Cornwallis and Holden. I had been there before, but it had been many years. It was just a lovely experience. So many places to walk and things to see. The gardens are simply beautiful. And at 8 in the morning, it's not too crowded at all. It felt so good to get out into a garden again. Seeing the beauty of nature does a soul good. While I may not get to a different part every Saturday, I would certainly love to try.
I attended my first service at Christ United Methodist Church last Sunday. I have been meaning to go for a long time and thought I may as well go ahead and try it out. What a wonderful experience it was. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The sermon was about David & Goliath and there were many good points made. I took notes haha! There was a beautiful soloist in the anthem and the service wrapped up with communion. I had to hurry out after because the service ran longer than I anticipated. I did not know that they would do communion which adds time. I actually had something in the oven that I did not want to burn LOL But on my way out I saw one of my residents from work who is a member of the church and I had no idea. I'll be going back today.
Hopefully I will get more fun things in this week. I know I will go and see Dad and June this Saturday but I look forward to discovering what else is in store for me.
