It's Saturday and It'll be a Busy One

Just a short post today, wishing you all a wonderful weekend. I spent yesterday in the kitchen, cooking two different types of pork chop (with and without bone) and a batch of my cooked fruit mix. I'm set for the next couple of weeks with my fruit now, and have plenty of dinners for the next few days as well. I felt quite accomplished - LOL. 

I got a lot done in the kitchen yesterday. It was my kind 
of day - I love spending the day cooking. I made two kinds 
of pork chops, my alkagizers for the coming week, and 
baked a HUGE batch of my baked fruit that will take 
me through the next two weeks or so. 

I also spent a fair amount of time on the computer working on photos that DH has been doing for store items that we're putting into auction at Santa Fe Auction House. We're putting in a lot of things that we think will have a good market in the Southwest, and each item needs to be photographed, described, and evaluated by their assessor, Janda. She's been fabulous to work with, I'm enjoying the experience. 

In this auction tryout, we're mostly sending jewelry and some 
collectibles - antiques and more modern. There's a lot that 
we would rather sell in this way if this works out for us. It's 
a test run, and I think it will be successful. At least, I'd like 
to think this would be a good secondary outlet for our harder 
to sell items. 

We're looking at this as a test run. We have a LOT of stuff - could probably populate one or two auctions solely on what we have available at the shop. Eventually, we'll also need to look at divesting our personal collection as well, so this is merely one toe in the water and the water is deep and wide. 

I adore Republic of Tea herbal teas, and my cupboard is 
filled with their canisters right now - LOL. I have two 
cups every morning - one in my mug, and one in my 
travel mug. I also drink it at the shop. I do love my tea. 

So, I've got the kettle on, and have to rescue it before it whistles loud enough for DH to actually hear it (that takes a lot of sound these days). I hope all of you have a wonderful day. I'll be back on Monday, so enjoy your weekend. Slava Ukraini.
