MUSIC MAKES LIFE BETTER

“All I really need is a song in my heart, food in my belly, and love in my family.” Raffi

Isn’t that the best? And so true. Something to remember on a day like today. Nothing more needs to be said.

Can you believe it? Another weekend snow storm. We’ve certainly had our share this winter. I really don’t mind them as long as we don’t lose power. I get a peaceful feeling knowing I can’t go anywhere and just snuggle in for the day.

But I didn’t actually snuggle in today. After my workout I tackled painting a wooden cabinet. It was dark brown and I wanted it white. Primed it yesterday so needed to get at it today and finish. Got two coats on but I am way too particular. I wasn’t satisfied with the look so tomorrow I’ll give it a light sand and another coat of paint. Why are my projects always more time consuming than I imagine. Maybe it’s because I see a picture in my head of how I want it to look and then reality never lives up to my expectations. That’s definitely an issue I have. Need to work on that. Thanks goodness for music. Music sure makes work much more enjoyable, especially Broadway tunes. My favs. And then it’s there again when I’m totally exhausted. What would we ever do without music. 🎶

Today’s recipes are from Courtney Hogan’s 🎶 PEI cookbook.

Overall the recipes were easy to follow but in hindsight I should have read the recipes completely before I chose what to have for dinner. The pork sauce and the glazed carrots and parsnips were too similar. Now I have quite a sweet tooth but both recipes were too sweet for me. Richard said he’d have them again. But I won’t be making them together.
