This weekend, I felt the need to just stop doing stuff and just relax. I think I just needed to reset my mind. I was kind of feeling down on myself and felt the need to watch a movie, just so I could let someone else's creation take me to another world for awhile. Isn't that what movies do for us? I just watched a movie on the television. Then I watched some more, and took a nap. That was Saturday. Now, I can't even remember just what it is that I watched. Oh, well.
Hey! I had that shake today! I had a veggie burger with an Oreo Pumpkin shake at Burger King. It was good. I actually did the cooking this weekend. Saturday, I made some cornbread; I cooked over easy eggs for breakfast. Sometimes I make sweet potato and egg tacos for breakfast. This is how I make them: I peel a sweet potato with a sharp knife, dice it then place it in a pan; add real butter, some water and salt; cover it and simmer until the water evaporates, throw in eggs beaten with a drop of milk, cook that, grate some muenster cheese to throw on top, add chipotle salsa, then fold this into a flour tortilla I heated on a separate pan (comal?). These are great.
Oh, I got off the subject. Where was I? Oh, yeah, I cooked. I also made biscuits this morning with potatoes and scrambled eggs. Since I wanted some sort of gravy to go with the biscuits, I opened a carton of split pea soup to dip my biscuits into, since I don't eat meat and had no mushrooms. This weekend, I tried to cook with just what I could find around the house, because I didn't feel like going to the grocery store at all on Saturday. Although, I did have to go to the store today. I love getting a hot french bread loaf and eating some with tomato soup. I like to throw precooked chickpeas in the soup to add protein.
Often times, when I sketch lettering, I like to first draw a shape to fit letters or words into.
Take care for now.
