Monday Morning Madness #47: Strep Throat & Ice Cream

These last few days have been dreadful. It isn't even fall yet and I have already gotten strep throat, which I'm just now starting to recover from it. Of course being sick didn't stop me from writing several reviews over the weekend. Actually, I didn't have much a choice, as I needed to get those reviews written and posted before Tuesday. I still have several reviews that I did to get written in the next few days. Yes, blogging can be stressful at times, but it can also be a bit a fun too.

I did have time over the weekend to makes some homemade ice cream, which tasted cold on my sore throat. My grandmother had bought one of those self-freezing ice cream makers a few weeks ago, but after she bought it she noticed the freezing container wouldn't fit into her freezer, so she give it to me, which I made her a batch of ice cream for her birthday last week

Actually, I know my way around kitchen, as some of my blog readers already know. Just last week I made pizzas from scratch (one hamburger and barbeque chicken). The pizzas were personal pan sizes. I don't have pans that small, so I used cake pans instead. One of these days I need to purchase actually pizza pans at a Pizza Shop Supplies.

I've been in the mood for sweet n' sour chicken stir-fry, but I don't have a wok anymore. I tossed the old wok in the trash a few years ago, as it was sticking too much. My local Walmart doesn't sell woks, so my only choice is to buy a wok at an Asian Restaurant Supply. Though it would probably be cheaper for me to order sweet n' sour chicken at the Chinese restaurant in town.

Despite being sick, I did stop by the local thrift store and picked up two new books (Like I need more books!). The books were The Chase by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg and Top Secret Twenty-One by Janet Evanovich. I also bought two multicolored king-size pillow shams for my new SmartSilk pillows. I would prefer to find pillow cases that would match my sheets (which are brown), but I can't find them anywhere. I might have to look at PeachSuite Hotel Supplies or somewhere else to find the pillow cases.
