Anyone else keep seeing this word pop up!? I’ve seen it in Whole Living and on Conan.

Quote Urban Dictionary: “A weird word used by weird teachers to describe their infinite confusion.”

Interrrrresssting.

Perhaps that is me after all?

I took charge of dinner tonight and stumbled upon this:

Leftovers!!!!

Get out every last drop

And sip away

Made preparing this dinner so fun!!

First a pan of 2 medium sweet potatoes got roasted at 400* for 26+10 minutes, after being tossed in some coconut oil, cinnamon, salt and peppa.

Then a pile of green beans and two apples were sauteed in some buttah

Many, many apple cubes went into my mouth

Don’t be shy with that butter! These are two foods that really bring out the flavor

Sip for me, sip for you!

I also dry-roasted some chopped walnuts in a pan

And cooked a pot of green lentils, mixed with some cooked wheatberries

A dressing was made with these

And then some Black Cherry Vinegar from Larbs’s shop

Layer in the cooked items

Drizzle on the dressing

And serve with an option chopped cup of leftover turkey

Matt took one bite and said “What IS this!?!?!?” I was pleased. Er, Kerfuffled.

He was also excited to drink some moose drool. Two variations on one of his favorite beers.

Of course I participated. I never turn down a chance to expand my education!

The Hoppin’ Moose made the Moose Drool seem bland! And I don’t love hops.

He took serious notes.

And I admired the fact that I matched the placemats.

Going to do one or all of the following:

• Watch a movie
• Take a bath
• Read

Evenings are fun. And GOSSIP GIRL is on tonight!!
