Today is a "Normal" Wednesday in My Life of "New Normal"

Today is a "normal" Wednesday, and I'm glad for it. I need to get cooking in the kitchen - I need food for dinners for the next week. I'm just about out of all leftovers, and my shelving only has my baked fruit for breakfast filling it. I think I might make a favorite of mine - Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup. It's a bit finicky to make - you have to broil the veggies to be able to easily skin them and to get a wonderful undertone of charcoal in the soup base. But once you've done that, everything goes into the blender (you need an excellent blender, and mine is top-shelf) and the rest of it basically makes itself on high speed. 

I really love this soup. It's a bit fussy to make (only 
because you're broiling the veggies in the oven, so 
need to keep an eye on them), but it's really easy to 
make if you've got a good blender. I've got an excellent 
blender and it hasn't been used for a couple of weeks 
while I've been "busy" with other things - LOL. Time 
to return to my kitchen. 

It's also a laundry day. Load #1 is already in the washer, with loads #2 and #3 to follow. I might also make my Roast Pork with Maple and Mustard Glaze, and I should make a new batch of my Bar-B-Que sauce, I noticed I'm almost out. That requires not only making the barbecue sauce, but also my Worcester sauce, since I make both of them from scratch and one is needed for the other. I might hold off on these until Friday, though. I'm not out of them yet, and I don't use them constantly. 

I'm tempted to make a roast pork, or buy a couple of pork 
chops for my pork chop recipe which is super easy to make. 
I'll probably wait on this decision until Friday, though. 
It's going to be busy enough today. 

I figure if I can get the soup made, plus the chicken tenders for tonight's dinner (which basically make themselves), I'll have a successful day. I might do pork too, either tenderloin or chops, but it's not necessary - I won't starve if I have soup and chicken. And it's also a Wednesday, so that means a nice long chat with Aearwen in the late afternoon. Something I look forward to every week, and something we've been doing for years and years now. I'll be busy today, but busier tomorrow and Friday, so I'll enjoy my "day off" as a "normal" day off and be grateful for the experience. 

Have an excellent Wednesday and I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
