And BREAD!!!!
But because this is my writing time of year, there is way too much sittin' going on so I have to be mindful of the fact that I'm not as active from January through March...
And there was this fish, just kind of hanging out in the fridge after we did a big fish fry on Monday to celebrate our daughter's visit...
And we stocked up on salad fixings because I don't want to buy new pants.
I would be so mad at myself to buy new clothes because I couldn't keep my hand out of the M&M jar!!!!
But I do love my candy/chocolate so that's a conundrum.
Oh, and desserts.
Yup.
Love them too. :)
But this was a lovely broiled fish and salad supper:
I am so impressed with myself right now. :)
And that means I have to eat the rest of the salad fixings before they go bad!!! Yikes!
Salad week at Ruthy's! Spring mix, iceberg and broccoli slaw....
I Cajun broiled the haddock. Now I love haddock. It's amazing.... and I simply dribbled a little bit of olive oil onto the pan, heated it under the broiler, added the fish and sprinkled it liberally with Cajun seasoning and salt.
Do not tell me I need to reduce salt, there is only so much one gal can do, friends!
Then broiled for about six minutes....
And done.
And delicious!!!!
I am so happy right now.
During farm season I can pretty much ignore what I eat because I'm moving a lot.
Winter is different, and I have to recognize that. I should have recognized it in JANUARY, I know... but better late than never!
And this is a big birthday month in our family. Five birthdays.... in one month. And then one birthday and Easter... and then two birthdays and a hint of summer in May, which means yard work and planting and tending...
But March is tricky so I'm coupling this with Jesus's 40 days and nights. He was so brave. So true. So amazing.
So He is my inspiration to not give in to all the things I want to eat... and eat simply.
I am not, will not eat locusts and honey or other other bugs.
I am not that good!
But eating sensibly for the next six weeks shouldn't be a big deal... except in my head because we think about it...
Oy vay, we are such humans!
Here's some fun looks at our new ocean presented by The Mighty Finn and Princess Lena:
And check out this amazing sunrise with a cross aura...
And this is why people do their skeptical eyebrows about Global Warming or Climate Change even though it might be a thing...
Although anyone who lived through the Dust Bowl of the 1930's will probably say things couldn't get worse than that... at least in that region. We learned a lot about the cycles of nature and the bonding of nature from above and below and how well they work together... because sometimes in our know-it-all-ness we mess with the order of things.

The one thing we can probably all agree on is that things change... and our survival, that of any animal, depends on adaptation and adjustment.
And God gave us amazing brains and abilities, so I believe we've got this... eventually... and we'll adjust and adapt as needed.
But in the meantime it is 4 degrees here and I'm going to enjoy a little warmth when it comes my way!
