– I made this for dinner two nights ago, and I’d completely forgotten about it, but man, it was good! The night before, I’d wanted brown rice for something but thought of it too late, so I made quinoa instead, and there was some leftovers in the fridge. I sauteed carrot and mushrooms in a skillet, added the cooked quinoa to heat through, and stirred in some green onions (also a bit of garlic powder, ground sage, and cumin). I topped it with Trader Joe’s meatless balls, which I haven’t been crazy about, but this time I cooked them in some Hain vegetarian gravy. Good food. I wish that gravy mix was sold in jars instead of packets. I could do with having a large supply.
–More snow for Minnesota! I refuse to say, ‘Oh no, winter’s back!’ ‘Cause, guys, this is Minnesota; in no way is this surprising. There must be four or five inches of new snow that fell today, and it did make driving quite a challenge while it was coming down. It might have been my fault, since I called the insurance people the other day to come inspect my roof after the snow had melted.

– I made a green onion salad dressing to go with my dinner tonight, and it’s good, but it has infected me with garlic/onion breath. Several hours after dinner, I was drinking some mint tea, and I thought it had a weird flavor, but I was really just tasting my own mouth. Hot. I think I’ll go brush my teeth a few dozen times.
