Clinton Farmer’s Market, Clinton, NY


Clinton’s Farmer’s Market is held on Thursdays from 10-4. There is something to be said about farmer’s markets. They make you feel rooted I guess. If that is the word I am looking for. I feel like I go back in time when I go to a farmer’s market. It’s a shopping experience that is out of the ordinary. You have to try it to get the vibe.

Mud


Have you ever felt like your feet were stuck in mud? Metaphorically speaking obviously.

You are in limbo. You don’t know whether you are coming or going.

You are just sitting and waiting. Waiting and waiting.

My life has been on hold for 5 years. No actually since my divorce in 2006. Maybe even before that but I have such a bad memory I can’t remeber beyond 1993.

I felt like I was living in a pinball machine and I was the ball getting knocked from side to side just waiting to fall through the hole and be done with the game.

It’s been a rough ride down. It hurt going from one side to the other side and being smash by the metal prongs.

I just wanted to fall through the hole and lay my head down and rest.

I am almost to the bottom but my body is sore. My brain is over being jolted. There are too many thoughts being thrown around. I’m over it.

I’m tired.

But, it’s almost over.

You have to believe and never give up.

Invest in You


Invest in yourself. Hold yourself accountable to yourself. You are responsible for your health, mentally and physically. You are responsible for your peace of mind.

Be mindful, be courteous, be strong, and protect your heart, mind, and body.

Invest in what you have left and take care of you.

Chaffle What??


Okay so tonight I decided to break out the old chaffle maker that I bought about 2 years ago but never used. No clue why but better late then never right?

You can literally have these made in under 12 minutes flat. They’re ridiculously easy.

Chicken, bacon, ranch, and cheddar cheese chaffle

  • 1 cup of shredded chicken or 1 can
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (makes it fluffy)
  • 1 cup of cheddar cheese
  • 2 pieces of crumbled bacon
  • 1/4 cup of onion sliced thin
  • powdered ranch seasoning 1 table spoon
  • salt, pepper, onion powder

Instructions

  1. Mix all your ingredients
  2. Spray your chaffle maker with oil, butter, etc. I use Can’t believe It’s Not Butter Spray
  3. Put 1 – 2 scoops of the mixture on the chaffle maker but don’t over load

Don’t be afraid to add additional seasonings! I always play around with my ingredients until I get it right. Start with small portions when experimenting.

All the recipes had to start from somewhere right? Be creative and do your own thing.
