Gratitude # 58

Here’s a throw-back to my list of five things I’m grateful for:

1. I am grateful for another great batch of doughnuts. I added sugar to the recipe, which was successful. I also experimented with cream filling. Only one of my filled doughnuts pinched closed just right, but I’m sure practice will yield better results. I’m also going to have to experiment with the cream filling recipe, but it worked out well.
2. I am grateful that I’ve got a pot of chicken broth simmer on the stove. It’s so nice to take the scraps of chicken, some carrots, celery, onions, salt, peppercorns, and bay leaves and leave them to simmer on the stove while I’m enjoying some time in the living room with the family.
3. I am grateful for the reasonable night’s sleep I got last night. I managed to stay on my sides instead of rolling onto my back.
4. I am grateful to have a pajama day thanks to the cold front that just passed through. Sure, I played outside in weather like this as a little girl, but that doesn’t mean I feel like bundling everyone up to go outside.
5. I am grateful for a fairly nice weekend.
