Yesterday, I came down with a cold and last night it was really hard to sleep - it felt like every hour I was up blowing my nose, tossing and turning... so I stayed home from work today. I think I got a cold because people come to work sick thinking that they feel good enough to work, but don't think about being contagious. :(
Nonetheless it was nice to have a day of rest at home. I rested, went to Trader Joes to get some soup and ended up picking up a ton of other groceries we needed. I've always wanted to roast a small chicken for dinner, but always forget to buy one...so i ended up buying a small whole chicken and wanted to roast it with potatoes and carrots. I found a great recipe in the Bride and Groom First Cookbook. It was so easy! It is roasting right now, so I really hope it turns out. I have some fresh rosemary growing in my back yard so I stuffed a couple sprigs from that and then added lemon wedges, seasoned it with salt and pepper, cut up some onions, carrots and potatoes brushed everything with butter and that's it! I'll update with some pictures of the final product! It is smelling yummy in the oven - so that's a good sign!
I wanted to post some pictures of my spring inspirations that I recently put up around the house. Today was such a beautiful day... it rained off and on and right now it is sunny and crisp outside - all the flowers are in full bloom and the birds are singing... such a great time of year in California. The best is driving around with the sunroof open with little wisps of fresh crisp air and the warm sun warming your face.
