Hubby will be so happy to have another night off from the dinner making.<br /><br />Also, I think fifth out of 26 is pretty darn good.

I fully support not socializing. You're caring about the ones you love ... and that's enough.<br /><br />Manymanymoons: Good luck!<br /><br />Field of Dreams: enjoy! You can toss in extra things, too, to make it more hearty.<br /><br />Tasivfer: I'm VERY impressed that you are growing black beans. :)Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-16826704326806241002010-12-16T09:05:21.433-05:002010-12-16T09:05:21.433-05:00I love when I really "get" something my ...I love when I really "get" something my yoga teacher says. The hard part for me is holding onto that feeling once I leave the class. <br /><br />I should also note that I'm seriously considering going to tell my boss that I would be more comfortable at home right now. I'll let you know how it goes. :)manymanymoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953231355870217701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-73546922939205813302010-12-16T07:44:50.501-05:002010-12-16T07:44:50.501-05:00Hmmm.

I am finding that my comfort zone is pretty much staying at home and not socializing at all. I'm not going to any Christmas parties this year (including my work party), not sending out any Christmas cards, and skipping most present-giving. Maybe my heart is just "two sizes too small."<br /><br />This stew looks great! I have a butternut squash and sweet potato that I couldn't bear to make "golden winter" soup with one more time...<br /><br />Stay comfortable!RunningMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16269598643448280554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544913458028415917.post-30690308085289100182010-12-16T02:05:44.562-05:002010-12-16T02:05:44.562-05:00Hmmmm lovely.

However perhaps that's not the best thing. ;-) This looks yummy, if a bit warm for here. I had an empty bit of lattice in the garden past our kiwi trellis and decided to try growing some black beans. I love the idea of growing things in my garden in summer that I can dry and use in the winter. I don't know how well they'll grow in Tassie (or if I got them into the ground too late) but we'll see.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
