browned in a cast iron pan, weighed down by a second cast-iron pan) So good! I made a use-it-up sandwich I sauteed the last of a purple onion, sliced up the end of the French bread I’d made, added shredded cheese and the last of the Christmas ham (from the freezer, obviously) and made a lunch sandwich for myself.

I’m wondering, though, about using an iron on patch instead and still sew a whip stitch all around it. I’ve used the iron on patches before, and don’t think I was super impressed, but I probably didn’t do the whip stitch either. I don’t know how to use a sewing machine so hand sewing it is. Your thoughts?

Yesterday, I cut up some chicken thighs and used this chipotle chicken marinade on them and sauteed the chicken in a cast iron skillet. I prepped food before clinical yesterday This semester, most of my clinicals end at 8:30 pm, so I’m gonna get lots of practice at packing dinners! and hummus, and that was my dinner.

Ironically, this happened at Christmas-totally out of the blue. Electronics/beauty products/new furniture or household items (I’m using things left by my grandparents & living in their house, have done some changes & repairs but free/thrift is excellent). If $1000 was dropped into your lap today, what would you do with it?

Yet, I’d never found a job I really liked – I missed working more directly with people and I didn’t like sitting still at a computer for 90% of my workday (despite what Iron Man can make engineering look like, most engineers don’t actually build things or even create plans – that work tends to get handed off to drafters (..)
