This Much and No More
Sun Jul 08 2007

I have cooked myself to a standstill today.
Sundays have become cooking days for me these last few weeks. I just got into this habit . . . I don't know if it's a good thing or not.

Today I cooked up roasted vegetables for my lunches for the week. All tucked up in those ziplock containers. I made a large container of tuna salad for Hub Man's lunches. I baked a batch of peanut butter cookies (by request). I baked a chicken and took all the meat off the bones to use for various things this week. Then I cooked up a pot of lentil soup in my new pot from IKEA.

OMG, I love that store.

So I am SET for several days. I don't have to start from scratch for every meal. I have some goodies tucked away for any hot hot days that might show up.

"Like money in the bank." As a friend of mine used to say about food put by.

If all goes as planned, this Thursday, Hub Man and I will be going to a baseball game.
It's the local Stitch and Pitch event that some of the members of my knitting guild are going to. I plan to take LOTS of pictures. I LOVE baseball games. I WAIT and WAIT for the seventh inning stretch. If they didn't sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", I would ask for my money back!!!

Anyhoo.... ( I just typed 'anygoo'....) aren't you thankful for spellcheck???

That's the scoop from here.

    In the winter I tend to cook things and put them up for later use like lasagna that I cut into individual servings and freeze. I do the same with Italian Beef, enchiladas, and a few other things. You're right. It makes life soooo much easier. We simply defrost, reheat and add sides.

    That is one pretty pot. Looks like a bargain price-wise, too.

    Bless the day

    You mentioned baseball and picture taking and singing, but what are you going to KNIT at the Stitch and Pitch? :)

    So, you really cooked up a storm. ;-)

    Good idea in the hot weather. More time for other things, like keeping cool. ;-)

    I love Ikea, too! I just wish they would translate their product names. Putting a "forsbacka" mattress on a "malm" bed is just weird! I'm pretty sure I don't want a mattress that forces-back-a anytime soon. (And I don't even know how to put all the oomlas in!) My son pronounces the names like he's Chewbacca.

    How about chicken spaghetti (baked, that is)? I was making it this morning at 9:30 for Rick's dinner tonight. I need to do more casseroles!
