CLOUDY DAY AND GOOD FOOD

Yesterday I forgot to tell you about the awesome dinner we made.  We bought a boneless turkey breast which we roasted in the Weber on low for a little less than two hours.  I used McCormick's Montreal Steak seasoning after oiling it. While it was cooking, I washed, trimmed and cut in halves a bag of brussel sprouts, placed them in a flat pan, drizzled olive oil and balsamic vinegar with a sprinkle of Himalayan salt and baked at 350 for about a half hour.  Scrubbed my white potatoes, made slices (not all the way through) seasoned with olive oil and salt. We baked them til almost done then put them on the grill with the turkey to brown them up.

While we were eating, both of us kept saying "yum, this is so good" over and over again.  It's nice when you cook a meal and surprise ourselves how tasty it came out.  We have leftover turkey for TL&T sandwiches for lunch and the turkey came with a gravy mix (gluten-free) that we'll be able to make hot turkey sandwiches later on.

Denis misses not have brownies so he bought a box gluten-free mix but it called for eggs which I can't have.  So he made it was a flax/water substitute and we used applesauce instead of oil. They came out like fudge and surprisingly pretty tasty but not very eye appealing.

This morning our friends George & Suzie left and I walked over to say goodbye but we'll see them again in Quartzsite.

My arm is finally starting to feel better and now I'm beginning to think it was a combination of moving and cleaning the rig from top to bottom.  Plus I may have pulled a muscle while doing the Esscentrics arm and shoulder strength/stretching exercises.  Guess I'll have to more careful from now on and NO MORE moving/lifting for me, those days are over.

I've had requests for a photo of our zippered awning sunscreen.  The photo shows just the part that stays attached to the awning.

Not one of our more exciting days, but it was nice to listen to the rain and read by the fireplace.  Thanks for stopping in.
