i didn't sleep very well last night but awoke this morning feeling pretty good.......got up got going feed the cats and went down to get in the car and when i sat down my back tightened up....lovely....not surprising as i had sat way too much yesterday in CSOs at choral rehearsal.....i think i have made reference to CSOs before.....that stands for chair shaped object....it looks like a chair but once you sit down you realize that it has been poorly designed for that purpose.....but in the chair's defense i have to admit from habit when i sing i never rest my back on the back of the chair....i tend to sit only on the front half of the seat...still....the folding chairs they have and 1st Pres. should be.that is folded up and throw in a dumpster.....
work went ok but i was moving a little gingerly as the back never really felt right until well into the afternoon.....must take a hot bath tonight....that should do the trick....
have spent the night watching a little tv (american chopper reruns) and there is a new one on at ten, and also cooking the weekly pot of stew, but to be accurate this one is more of a soup then a stew....thick soup but soup none the less....have been getting to creative i think and just putting too many things in recently so went a bit minimalistic tonight.....beef(about1-1/2 pounds of center cut shank),salt pork(1/4 of a pound), cabbage(1 small head), onions(2 medium cut in 8ths),garlic (about 8 cloves), a few slices of ginger root, a few slices of horseradish root and salt and pepper...a nice slow boil for 2-1/2 hours....meat comes out and is cut into chucks then back into the pot with some egg noodles added...another half hour and heaven.....
