Place: St Pete Beach, FL 73/86
Main activity: Sat - cooking/food, pool
Notes: Awake ~ 1-4a, finally dozed a bit more. Had coffee and decided to prep chicken lemon orzo soup together to cook all day in crock pot. While I was cutting up chicken and celery, did the rest for another batch of chicken salad w/ avo mayo. Lots of rental searching again - so frustrating and diminishing. Went to pool around 1145a for about 40 min - lots of big billowy clouds kept rolling thru tho so wasn't great sun time and am far from relaxed & peaceful. Tried a new lunch w/ my vegan "mozzarella", fresh tomato & basil, smeared with my homemade pesto from the other day, EVOO and a squeeze of lemon - toaster oven then added basil & sauces for short time in skillet to press (don't know that it needed that). Had thawed a couple of the small filet mignons and wanted to test cook one on stove in stainless pan and then put in oven. Let it sit out for an hour and then cooked a few min ea side and few min in oven (all slightly too long for the thickness) but came out still tender and good. Did not speak to anyone all day and kept phone on silent.
