Only hours to go before 2014 and I sit here tapping away on the keyboard, writing a post for a new blog. I won't be writing long. I don't give a crap what night it is, I'm tired. I did lots today and I have to do lots tomorrow so sleep will come soon.
What is the point of this blog? To journal, to remember, to plan, to brag, all that stuff and likely more. I am always coming up with life changing plans and ideas and always, always forgetting them. So here I shall write that fantastic shit down and here I will store all my nifty ideas.
What was nifty this week? Food. I made a meal plan. This is it.
Sunday - Chili Burritos (from leftover chili)
Monday - Roast Chicken, Fried Rice, carrots and sweet potatoes.
Tuesday -
Ham and Potato soup, cheesy tea biscuits (make broth with leftover chicken in morning for the soup)
Wednesday - Chicken stir fry (with yesterday's picked chicken)
Thursday -
Gypsy soup (excepting I don't have no frickin' chickpeas so I'll likely add some beans or even, gasp, meat)
Friday - Pork chops, scalloped potatoes (which the kids don't like. Too bad little darlings), sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, pickles.
Sat - Company! But we're not eating the company, we're serving food to them. Some sort of roast and roasted veggies most likely. And homemade Nova Scotian brown bread.
What else was nifty?
2/3 of my kids thought leftover chili mixed with pasta and covered with grated cheese was a delicious lunch.
I got a crap load of peppers for cheap off the clearance rack at the local grocery store today. Hot dogs buns too. I need to slice and freeze the peppers and separate and freeze the hot dog buns. I also found some extremely cheap pork bones in the, "cook or freeze today," section of the meat department. Future soup!
Should I mention that in the back of the truck with the marked down groceries there was a brand spankin' new Xbox 360 that we ordered to replace the old one that might be pooping out? Nah. I shall create the illusion that I am an extremely frugal homemaker who is frugal and prudent with her families money. I will seem quaint and perfect and all mother earthy. No one will know of the computer and video gaming that goes on within our country home. No one will know I installed a better graphics card in my computer so that I might enjoy more detailed blood splatter when I blow the heads off post-apocalyptic zombies.
