#FoodieFriday




Sauces are part of the #FoodieFriday journey today. Sauces make me weak in the knees. I confess there are times I order or make something because of the sauce, not because of the food the sauce is on top of or mixed in to. Like Eggs Benedict - sometimes I dream about the Hollandaise. 

Sauces take some patience but they are worth it. Oh so worth it. 


Here's a few sauces that make my mouth water immediately once I think of them, smell them, or hear them mentioned:
Tzatziki
Chimichurri
Peanut 
Hollandaise
Vodka
Any sweet fruit sauce

Oh man, there are more but the drool is running out of my closed mouth so I'm just gonna end the list there. 

Listen, sauces rock. They can elevate any dish - meat, vegetables, desserts. YUM. 
One last sauce story - when my youngest was in elementary she was asked to create a recipe. When she brought home her idea I looked at it and said, "I can do that." She was over the moon, Mommy could make her recipe creation!  It was grilled meatloaf with mac-n-cheese sauce. So I made a meatloaf and we grilled it (delicious btw) and I made my homemade mac-n-cheese sauce (noodle free) and we poured it over top. It was SO good! So good. In fact, maybe I'm making that for dinner tonight - my youngest would be thrilled that I made it again - plus that mac-n-cheese sauce is DIVINE.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
