Random Thoughts on December 10, 2011


  1. Well, I finally have a Pinterest account.  It seemed to me that I have been trying to get an account since Thanksgiving.  Finally, after begging my daughter for an invitation I was off the waiting list and accepted.  I am still trying to learn how it all works.  I do know that there are a lot of interesting things on the internet…. like Choffy.
  2. Yesterday afternoon my Choffy came in the mail. I was very impressed with how fast it came, too.   Choffy is roasted Cocoa beans that you brew like you do coffee.  I love dark chocolate so when I saw this on the internet I knew I would like it.  I decided to make some  in my regular coffee maker.  (The recommended method is to use a french press.)  It look a long time for the water to drip through to the pot.  I stirred in a little bit of Stevia and some half and half into my cup.  It had a good chocolate taste.  Anyway, I decided that while I was out shopping I would  buy a french press.
  3. What was I thinking today —-  During the week, I made my annual mammogram for Saturday. For starters, I was paranoid that I would forget my appointment.  I could not concentrate on anything prior to the appointment.   I also thought since the mammogram place was by the mall that I would do a little shopping – pick up some Christmas gifts and of course a french press – surely it would not be to crowded yet. Was I wrong!  The traffic was a nightmare.  The stores were crowded.  The checkout lines were long.  I did get the french press but I had to bite my tongue when a lady cut in front of me in the check out lane.
  4. Tonight for supper I decided that I would make a pizza.  Usually, my husband likes to have just a pepperoni or hamburger pizza.  But because he was working I could be a little creative with my toppings.  So I made a hamburger, Kalamata olives, spinach, bacon pizza.  It was pretty tasty.

Now I am pretty tired — I think I will get ready for bed and read the last few remaining chapters of the “Hunger Games”.
