The end of the Gregorian calendar year is almost upon us and it feels as though another year has just whizzed by. Does anyone know if the theory of relativity relates to time? You know....the older I get the faster it goes sort of thing? In fact the last decade is kind of a blur. But then the almost 3 yrs since the car accident don't really count do they?
So tonight was funny. Jon & Michelle decided on stir fry for dinner and ran to the store to get a couple of items. I asked what I could do while they were gone and they said prepping some veg would be good. I thought to myself....great! I can do that!
So I got out the vegetables I knew would be good...the carrots and celery, but then I started looking at others, like broccoli & cauliflower, zucchini (which I could NOT for the life of me remember the English word for....kept having courgette run through my brain!!!), jalapeno peppers and garlic. I washed things up and then stood there looking at them because I couldn't remember what to do next. I decided to start with the carrots since they were the most obvious. Once I did them I went on to celery. The further on I got the better it became. But it was still kind of weird.
I did manage to make ginger crinkle cookies without mishap so that was good! At least I accomplished something today!
Well, I'm going to go downstairs to watch some t.v. with the kids now. Hope you all had a great day!

Snap! Not remembering the Canadian word for courgettes ... I did that too.
ReplyDeleteAnd caused major worries about the extent of my brain damage because I had just returned from living in London, England for 5 years. And there, zucchini/courgettes are nearly as common as peas or carrots as part of a meal.
