Receta Grilled Chicken Breasts with Mustard Sauce; Bored?
Did I mention that mon mari saw a welding kit (?) on sale awhile back?
And he bought it?
He always wanted to to be a welder….
Anyway, his first project was to fix the grill, which he did.
His second project was to use the grill…. Well not really, but he did anyway.
We’ve had the occasional sunny day interspersed with the cold and rain and one must take advantage.
The mustard sauce adds just enough heat to the chicken breasts to make them interesting on a cool spring night.

I was talking to my neighbor the other day…. She mentioned that she had read a book the day before.
An entire book!
I can’t imagine having time to read an entire book in a day.
I do read for 45 minutes every day – while I ride my exercise bike.
The last time I spent time reading without exercising was when I used to ‘work on my tan’.
First, I can’t believe I used to do that.
Second, how was that classified as work?
Reclining on a lounge chair in the sun with a book in one hand and a cold beer in the other is not exactly ‘work’.
I am in jealous awe of anyone who enjoys that kind of leisure time.
I’m not sure I could.
There are just too many things that I need to do to be able to relax and do nothing – and the ‘nothing’ includes reading or watching TV.
Plus, if / when all the things that NEED to be done are done, I have a whole other list of things that I WANT to do,
I don’t think I’ve been bored or idle or had free time since we moved across the pond.
Guess that’s a good thing.
