On Saturday

 

Rice, Kebabs, and Cream Puffs, Compliments of 
Neighbor S

On Saturday, I helped daughter make the fish cutlets.  I suppose one could call them fish croquettes.  Daughter made the balls, dipped them in beaten eggs and coated them with the breadcrumbs we made on Friday and I deep fried them.  She took a picture of the finished cutlets, "For your blog", but, forgot to forward the picture to me and she's not home right now, so I will post the picture another day.

The mixture we made was enough for 50 fish cutlets.  She set aside 25 of them to take to the Friendsgiving potluck dinner her friend is hosting, set aside another dozen or so to give to her friend P who was giving her a ride to and from the dinner, we sampled a couple of them, ourselves, and when neighbor S called to say she's bringing me some leftovers from their Thanksgiving dinner, we gave her some of the fish cutlets to try, too.

S brought us a container of rice, a container of kebabs, and two of the biggest cream puffs I've ever seen!  We put the rice and the kebabs in the fridge since we were both rather full from sampling the cutlets, but, we did try a piece of the cream puff:

Half of the Cream Puff

My daughter and I shared one quarter of the cream puff.  It was delicious, but, the filling was very sweet and neither of us could manage more than a couple of bites, each!  

Later in the evening, I dropped daughter off at her friend P's parent's home.  P's parents came to the car to ask me in, but, I declined as I knew they would have been tired as they had just driven back from visiting family in Nevada.  

After I came home from dropping daughter off, I relaxed, watched some online videos, knitted a bit, and sorted through some of my craft supplies.  I wanted to make my holiday greeting cards, but, I made only one.  I need to buy more card stock or blank cards to make the rest.

I had made some ham and potato soup, on Friday night for dinner, and I was going to have some of the leftover soup for my dinner, tonight.  Instead, I had a craving for buttered toast with a little of my strawberry jam and that was what I had for dinner!  

On Saturday, I am grateful for:

- Being able to help daughter make the fish cutlets; she was very appreciative of my help
- Neighbor S blessing us with some delicious food
- Being able to share some of the fish cutlets with her in return
- Daughter getting a ride to her friend A's Friendsgiving dinner and back
- Daughter being able to enjoy getting together with her friends

Saturday's joyful activities included making a card (even if it was just one card) and knitting.

Plans for Sunday include changing my bed sheets and doing a load of laundry and doing some cooking for the freezer.  The garden should be watered, too.

How was your Saturday?  What are your plans for Sunday?
