The only creative thing I did today was take the leftovers from this

and added some leftover pork tenderloin bits. It was so good heated over and stirred lightly. This is the Louisiana Style Shrimp Skillet, a new dish from Cracker Barrel. (We know how to celebrate an anniversary! 😋😉)

The dish is not photogenic because they forgot the rice. The original dish was a skillet of shrimp in an oily-looking roux. I added the requested rice and stirred it in before thinking to photograph it. ‘Still not attractive, but very delicious. It was even better with the congealed fat removed and the tenderloin added.

I found a photo of what it’s supposed to look like online.

And, speaking of photos, I took this one of a little pitcher of wildflowers I brought in, intending to gel print with them.

Now, I’m sorting through craft books and magazines. Most of them are keepers, though a few will go to the lending library of the local senior center.

So despite kitchen cleaning and fibromyalgia exhaustion, today has not been a total waste after all!

In the words of grief counselor/artist Karen McKoy, “I showed up.”
