Default Multi tasking....

the older I get the worse I am at it and I know it and still try to do it. In fact I am almost frenetic about it. The problem is nothing gets finished!

Example....I'm changing sheets in the guest bedroom when I decide to rearrange the furniture. Mr.Alffe isn't back yet and some of it is heavy and once again I have a heavy file wedged in a doorway.

Mr.Alffe calls and says he'd like a pizza for dinner tonight and I have spagetti sauce simmering on the stove...so I go down the back stairs, (can't get thru the other way due to the file.. ) and put the sheets in the dryer, turn off the spagetti sauce, pull pizza dough out of the freezer and the phone rings.

It's a church friend who insists on bringing something to dinners for 8 here next Friday night and when I say bring wine...she'd rather bring something else.

Well, you get the idea...and I learned something else today..I am too old to stand in the middle of the bed trying to reach the cobwebb that is driving me crazy...my balance ain't what it used to be but at least I still bounce.

I made knocci,potato kind yesterday, potaoe pasta dumplins.
what fun and very good! Ground turkey and spagetti sauce, basil, then drizzle a heated mixture of cotage cheese and parmsan cheese over the top of it.
This is a very hearty dish!
knoccis cooked up in 5 minutes! they were like little mashed potato balls.
Something new to fix!!! and easy!
alffe, you are very busy!!! be careful up there....
love you
bizi

My goodness Bizi...what's posessed you? I've never made potato dumplins but my grandma used to and they were delicious!

I want you to talk to me about cajun turkey! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

You know Goofy, one of the benefits of getting old is you can do what you please, when you please. Including jumping on beds!

And Curious...I won't say a word.

And it's so nice to have the file unstuck! Now if I can just keep Mr.Alffe from eating all the candy in the candy dish in Doody's room.......

Cool

Well alffe, the knocci came in a box and all I did was boil them so very easy to fix and they are terrible hard to actually make from scratch so I would never try to make them. I read a funny story in Oprah magazine about a woman who tried to make them and that is where I first heard of this italian staple. I think Dad would even like them.
As far as a cajun turkey...lets just say there is a needle involved...lol
