Our next holiday is Memorial Day, which is on the last Monday of May. But I am using up some vacation time and taking long weekends, even without a holiday!<br /><br />Yes, daughter rolling her eyes at me would have helped a lot, although I did realize that I was being silly, even without her being here to do so. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-41952757452594157512018-05-08T22:28:06.517-07:002018-05-08T22:28:06.517-07:00Thanks, Sharon.

For this particular dish, I just sauted the sliced smoked sausage (half of a 14 oz. sausage) in a little vegetable oil and sesame seed oil, mixed together, then, added half a sliced onion, 3 sliced carrots, 1 zucchini, a handful of bell pepper strips (maybe 1/2 a bell pepper - I had already sliced and frozen it), and a handful of salted roasted peanuts. I added about 2 tbsp. of soy sauce, too. I would have added some celery and broccoli, too, if I had some, but I didn't.

I'm sure it did you the world of good. I'm thinking I might stay home tomorrow as I attended a wake on Monday and the funeral today. <br />The weather is gorgeous and so warm! This afternoon I walked to the mailbox and was approached by two neighbouring dogs who knew that they would get a piece of gingersnap cookie each. I don't give them a lot but it certainly keeps them friendly! We have woodpeckers drumming loudly on trees, and we have had lunch two days and even supper today, outside on the deck, surrounded by little rustling critters on the ground below. We walked around after supper inspecting the yard. I found two crocuses and two wild violets.Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-72072440597665373212018-05-08T13:45:15.068-07:002018-05-08T13:45:15.068-07:00It was Bank Holiday Monday over here Bless and the...It was Bank Holiday Monday over here Bless and the weather was beautiful. I'm always glad on behalf of people who work when that's the case so they can get out and about and enjoy their long weekend.<br /><br />I'm glad you've got over whatever upset you. We can all be overly sensitive at times but I find when there's nobody there that you can run your thoughts and feelings by things can grow out of proportion in our minds very quickly. I'm smiling at the fact your DD rolling her eyes would have made all the difference, sometimes we just need another person's perspective.
