Had a philosophical discussion today about what happens to people who work the night shift when the time changes, especially those who are hourly wage earners. I'm guessing that anyone who worked 7:00 pm until 7:00 am had to work 13 hours last night...and still only got paid for 12. Likewise those same folks only work 11 hours in the spring and get paid for 12. Is that how it works? Does anybody know? Bob thinks that those who worked 13 hours last night got paid an hour of overtime. Just curious.
I was going to make sweet potato bread this morning. Started pre-heating the oven and gathering the ingredients. While searching desperately for FRESH baking powder, I got completely side-tracked by my over-the-top-needing-to-be-cleaned-out lazy Susan where I store my spices...and apparently a myriad of other items for DECADES. Needless to say, there was NO fresh baking powder and by the time I finished cleaning out that cabinet, I was no longer in the mood to make the sweet potato bread. I guess we'll eat that big old baked sweet potato for supper tonight. The cabinet looks great...and everything in it is at least fresh enough to use within the next six months or so.
If anybody needs any ground mustard (which I apparently buy EVERY Christmas for that traditional breakfast casserole that my children can't live without) or various teabags for individual cups of hot tea, I'm your girl. Just drop by any time. I have Earl Gray, Arizona Green, Spiced Chai, Vanilla Chai, and no-telling what other varieties of tea.
Lori and Mark are hunting in South Carolina and will be here on Thursday to spend the night on their way back to PA. We're headed to the mountains next weekend, taking Bo and Flo along, to visit with Jay's and Jen's families. Jen has graciously invited us to dinner on Saturday night. It will be so nice to have that part of our family together, even if for a short time.
Until next time...fare thee well!
