So because I was gone over the holidays, I left all my Christmas loot at work. So happy to bring it all home tonight! My friend “W” at work put her presents to me in this box – love it!
isn't this THE cutest box EVER!
Then she put a bunch of cool stuff from Williams-Sonoma. Lots of cookie cutters, recipes on making sugar cookies, a HUGE spatula, little “green man” whisk, cheese slicer, meat tenderizer, spoon rest, veggie peeler and omelet pan. Thanks W!!
along with my other loot from co-workers! - a snowman night light, snowman tray with Panera gift card, and a vegetarian cook book!
Turns out they know I like snowmen AND cooking! Thanks guys!
So I came home from lunch and brought home Jimmy John’s. I ended up with the unwich and cut it up and made it into a salad. I added chopped cucumbers and carrots to bulk it up.
with light caesar dressing
Although by 3:00 I was starving! So I reached into my back up drawer and heated up 1/2 package of Ramen noodles.
For dinner tonight I did a dry-rub boneless pork tenderloin. This one is small, about 1.75 pounds. Even though it has a “pop-up” button, Tony suggested that I use our probe and take it out at 160 degrees. Good thing I did, because it never popped!
On the side I made mashed potatoes and garlic/parmesan green beans.
So I am still playing around with my camera. I know NOTHING about cameras, but since this new one has a TON of different settings including a cuisine button, I’ll just play it by ear. Very fun so far though!
Off to do another load of laundry and relax – see you tomorrow!
What a sweet gift!
