I didn’t wake up until 10:30 a.m. today and I felt so rested and ready to conquer the world today.  I did my morning exercises (leg raises, bridges, stretching) in the bed.  I got up and showered, brushed my fangs and got dressed.  I made a few phone calls to friends and family and after talking to my grandmother I decided to tackle household chores.   I did two loads of laundry, straightened up the living room and then started to cook Sunday dinner.  On the menu tonight is 15 Bean Soup seasoned with 2 hamhocks and rice.  I am using the crock pot for the soup because it is much safer to not use the stove when using big pots filled with boiling water.  Another good reason to use the crock pot is that it will not heat up the house.  I felt good this morning meaning that I felt strong and full of energy.  I decided I would jump into being my own prep cook so I diced  up some extra’s for my soup (onions, bell pepper, garlic cloves and hot peppers).  My auntie grows hot peppers in her garden and I used three small ones just to give my soup a lil bite.   I made a pot of rice and now all I have to do is wait for the beans to be done.   I went in to stir the beans and test taste the broth…..GOOOOOD LAAWWWWWD!  MY LIPS ARE BURNING OFF!!!!!!  I used the wrong peppers!!!  I used the ones that are really really hot, I think they are called jabeneros – not the mild hot ones.  Time to look up the number for Pizza Hut!  HaHa!  What a day 🙂
