Sausage

All pork hot dogs. All Good.

Egg n Sausage English muffins

Little pork morning sausage patties that combine with eggs so well. Good Meal.

Burger

Pork, used a bit of the pork seasoning that I bought for the pork loin for Thanksgiving. Combined with some chips with sea salt, locally made butter buns out of the freezer and a good dinner.

Snickerdoodles

These were a bit bigger then they should be and spread out a bit more, each cookie needed to loose about a third of the total volume that I gave them. I was also unsure as to how much sugar and cinnamon should’ve gone on there so some got some deep coatings and others a lighter touch. The method itself was nice, and made sense for what they were doing. Made for Shannon’s work party. They were ok, but a bit thin and wide.

Chicken and Corn Chowder with Sweet Potatoes

Other than the yellow corn muffin mix, which I really wish would be replaced with something else, this is quite a nice soup and easy to make. I ate the last of the leftovers for Saturday lunch.

Cheesy Bean and Tomato Bake

It’s fine. Clearly a recipe written for a youngster. I adjusted the herbs and spices up, quite a bit.

Spicy Chili Coconut Shrimp Noodles

Not my first time making this, won’t be my last. I was forced to swap out the spicy chili noodles with soy and scallion, since that’s what I have (I suppose I could have done sweet and spicy), but it still worked well. Made for a good dinner.

Earlier in the week, I had a discussion w/my mental health provider and we discussed SAD or MDD with a Seasonal Pattern on the most recent Depresh Mode. And we talked about how I noticed a pattern between thanksgiving and usually the first snow, where I do have an extra dose of sadness during that time. I’m often brought to the picture of me about to brulee and how much I remember feeling dead inside during that period of time. I had my dosage upped a bit and may go back down after winter is over. This is the first change in quite a while (almost exactly 5 years). Things I learned. First, many people up their dose in the winter, second I don’t have to live with it.
