😔 Now for a severe case of cook’s remorse. I’m one bound to pack every shelf of our small kitchen, which invariably leads to expired this and that. “It’s not that far out of date,” I’ve been known to say. 🤷🏽 Solution: wish for more shelves!

How does one hope to bake without 6 different Pyrex type baking dishes?! (I can explain...) Or make the perfect flourless chocolate cake without a spring form pan! Two sizes of muffin pans, 2 of each size. Cooking with the “Right Stuff” is as important as eating!

Working on myself🤔🤔 At 74 saying I’m a work in progress may seem a bit overly hopeful. Then again, today - just this day and moment - is what I have to work with. I kid Beth about my needing to write cabinet contents on the doors to save search time. But I can search contents before heading to the store to avoid out of date canned milk.

In the final analysis, it’s my brain that could benefit more from a good house cleaning and polishing of shelves. Tackling procrastination frees up energy and results in accomplishment. Mentally, “I’m a getter-doner” has a better ring to it than “I’m a procrastinator.”

Now where did I put that blending stick? 😬

Eat the frog? 🐸

Did we talk about that once? I rarely eat the frog first thing in the morning, but Ivalmost always make sure the frog gets eaten! 🤣

I’m familiar with the expression, but I don’t recall our discussing it. I can see the value of doing so. My appetite is pretty strong most mornings... 🐸
