So it's been raining here....a lot. I know I know....those of you who live down south would embrace this cool burst of rainy weather. But for me I like my summer to last till labour (yes I am Canadian and I spell it that way) day at least. I know its coming back this weekend, but its been a lot of rain! I think the fact that I have some furniture to paint also is making me bummed. I planned on painting on my day off (today) but alas due to the weather it will be postponed. Josh and I have been working hard to decorate our apartment a bit. Little by little we have added pieces and stuff to make our place feel more cozy and like ours. When we got married all our furniture was given to us. Which was a blessing for sure, but now we are able to add some pieces that are more us. Still for super cheap! (think thrift store/craigslist/big warehouse filled with stuff this guy sells in Gloucester for cheap cheap cheap)
I will post some pictures before and after of what we have done when we are done.
Anyway
My favorite things to do when it rains are :
1. Wear these
2. Read. I am currently reading this and this.
3. Watch a movie or an episode of this
4. Drink Tea I love this
5. Make soup or chili. I did make some chili and made up my own new recipe. It was pretty darn good.
I started with 2 pounds of ground turkey
1 onion chopped
1 zucchini chopped
1 squash chopped
1 green pepper chopped
2 pressed garlic cloves
sauteed all that and added chili powder and cumin to taste
1 can of diced tomatoes (not drained)
3 cans of light red kidney beans (not drained)
4 pices of uncured nitrate free bacon cooked and chopped
I just kept added in the chili powder and the cumin till I got the right amount of flavor.
It was yum!
OK that's enough links. ha.
So what's your favorite thing to do when it rains?
