Wow, 2024 is coming to a close and Wednesday is 2025. I still need to write a few goals for the year. Nothing monumental, just things like keep walking, keep swimming, and up the number of times a week. Stuff like that.
A very very rainy morning. No walk again, so I’ll use the treadmill. I might try and walk tomorrow but I’ll wait and see. I was planning on going to the Roseville gym and the library. I have some books to return and a hold to pick up. The rain is supposed to stop later and tomorrow looks sunny so that may be the deciding factor.
Despite the rain, B and I went to Costco. He needed the protein drink and he wanted cereal too. We bought some of the sale items, dishwasher pods, and Swiffer dusters, and it seems there was something else on sale. We got a rug for the entry way as we’ve been using a towel and that gets old. I picked eggs, tofu, milk, bananas, and salad mix and they had microgreens which I love. This was a new item. Oh, we picked up the vegetable barley soup for an easy dinner.
Yesterday, I did most of my house chores, so today is an easy day. For dinner, I made brown rice, sweet potatoes, grilled tofu, and broccoli, and there’s enough for lunch today or even dinner if I add something extra.
I started reading another Baldacci series, the Camel Club. So far I like the characters and the plot. My son gave me a great Christmas present of 6 or 7 Baldacci hardcovers he got at the thrift store. They are in almost new condition. What a great gift. He always zeroes in on the right gift for people. Plus he said he didn’t want to buy anything new but used/thrifted. Very Cool. He found the graphic novel, “March” by John Lewis and others at the thrift store too, and that made a great gift to B.
We’re halfway through Hanukkah and I only did a card and cash for each person. The cash was only a $2 bill which believe it or not are very hard to find. So I’m definitely winding down the gift-giving which is my goal.
We finished the “Astrid” series and it was really good. Now we need to find a new series to watch. Does anybody have a recommendation?
Well, off to read.

I also buy my tofu at Costco. Usually the expiration dates are far enough in the future that I can get two four-packs. We eat it for lunch just about every day and go through a package a week.
those pull dates are very far out. I think I’ll do that too next time, get two packs. B is vegetarian and my daughter and I are mostly. I will slip in some meat now and then but really I think at this point I’m slowly eliminating it. do you cook the tofu a certain way?? I usually do it sliced and then marinating it in tamari, olive oil and what ever else. Or I just press it and grilled with some tamari on top. I’d love some suggestions.
I press it, then slice into cubes and bake in a hot (425) oven for 25 minutes, turn, and cook for anther 25 minutes. When it’s done I put it in the freezer and pull out what I need.
yumm, I’ll try that. I know freezing gives a nice chewy texture.
