02-15-23 MMMM Jamaican Food
I was tired this morning, lolligagging in bed when I suddenly remembered that it was Chamber lunch day and I needed to get lots of wok done before I went. I was at the office in good time, got most of my payroll run and then joined others from the building to head to Ella’s Restaurant. I have so been looking forward to going there and it did not disappoint. I like that the chamber organizers mix up the singles to sit together. I was with Cora who is in charge of the Chamber benefit program which I have been interested in and not followed up on and Clint, the pastor from the Alliance church. We had great food and good conversations about horses and other adventures. The presenter was interesting and it was great to say hi to so many friendly faces.
I spoke with the owner and she said that chilis and peppers are not part of Jamaican cuisine so I am looking forward to trying their fried chicken that I hear everyone raving about. Just after I left the office at 7 I saw that an email came through from Cora with a quote already for benefits including short/long term disability which is important especially as a self-employed person. I look forward to reviewing it all tomorrow.
I made a filling but light dinner with leftovers for lunch tomorrow and it was tasty and will give me time to get lots done.
I saw a funny meme today and had to download it. I think I may be Winnie the Pooh!
During the day Danika texted me to see if I would sponsor Emmy and Gwen for the Coldest Night of the Year walk. I am so impressed that she signed them up and donated $50 each to top them up to their goals. It is so important to instill that volunteer/giving mentality. I also hope to see them that weekend. I wish they didn’t live hours away.
