Honeydew this, Honeydew that...

Today, Mr. Myers and I were lazy. It was pure greatness. The only time I left the house after our morning run was to go to the grocery store. The awesome find at the grocery store was a box of Dreyers Coconut Fruit bars. AWESOME! Much needed in the summer hotness.

I also picked up a honeydew melon. The problem with melon is that you can never tell if it'll be a good one or not. This one was a dud. Ryan chopped it up anyway, so we could have some for dinner.

We spent the afternoon doing odds and ends around the house. I did a little cleaning, some stuff for work and enjoyed my hubby's company.

This evening, I made the stirfry I'd intended to make last night. First, I sauteed a red bell pepper and some chicken with a little crushed black pepper and EVOO.

Then, I mixed in a bag of frozen stirfry vegetables. I haven't had frozen vegetables in months. I guess I've become spoiled. To me, these frozen veges ruined the dish.

Added in brown rice.

Ryan liked the meal, but like I said, the frozen vegetables really detracted from the meal for me. It was just okay.

And, don't forget a dab of this:

I've cleaned up the dishes, made lunches for tomorrow and now I'm going to finish The Magician's Nephew. I've started re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia. Such a lovely series.

Have a beautiful night!!!

  1. I know, you are so right, it is so hard to pick a good mellon. But oh when you do...pure heaven...:)

    Your dinner looks great!

  2. I rarely buy melon for that reason, just never sure if it will be good or not!

  3. as much as people say that frozen veg are as good as fresh, they never taste right to me. The only way I can eat them is by defrosting them and roasting them- which defeats the purpose of having quick and easy veggies to hand!

    I love melon but rarely buy it for that same reason! There must be an art to finding a perfect melon?..

  5. Glad you got to spend some good quality downtime with your husband!

    I agree that the best use for frozen veggies is roasting them but I don't defrost them first, the oven does that for me ;)
