bits and bobs

+ yesterday i made a panera copycat winter squash soup and it was delicious. not quite as good as panera's, but with less sugar and heavy cream, not surprising. ;)

since it was black friday, i also spent part of the day shopping. or having mister show me things i might be interested in. i didn't buy anything, but hinted heavily that a pair of skis, cute ski pants, boots, and poles would be a "good investment."

he ignored me and i get why: we need to rent stuff before we buy stuff, in case i do this one time and say EFF no. 

i still may get these ski pants because they look like they would work for other things out in the snow. look at all those pockets for horse treats, hoof picks, eggs, chicken scratch, handwarmers, bubble gum, etc and so on. 

+ over the course of the last 24 hours, we've sold seven dozen eggs! o.O there are only two small eggs left, and i might have those on toast for dinner. or i might make steamed eggs over sticky rice with veggies of some type. or i might just have soup. 

at this point, i honestly don't want to cook anything complex or complicated for awhile, so we'll see.
