Oh, food and other sundry things
I recently did a food meme wherein one of the questions was what do you cook when you are feeling lazy. The true answer for me is I make dh cook:) I have been feeling very lazy and burned out on cooking the last couple weeks and here's what we've eaten (or will be eating).
Last week we had burritos and roasted chicken and greek lamb. I think we had sweet potatoes, bacon buttermilk coleslaw and a couple other veggies.
This week, feeling equally lazy, we are having:
Chipotle meatballs (done)
7 hour leg of lamb (done)
Medieval chicken
Veggies:
green beans in lemon cream sauce (done)
brussel sprouts (done)
glazed carrots
creamed spinach
celery salad
sweet potatoes
salad
I leave for Florida on Wed, so this should be plenty of food. I am thinking about making meatloaf and freezing it before I go so we have something to start off the week when I get home. I might make chili though...
We had no plans for the weekend, so we spent the weekend being very busy:) Yesterday I got my tooth checked out. The dentist is very conservative (which I like) and said he didn't think it would cause any problems because it was on a front tooth. So, we'll wait and see. I talked to him for a long time about my mouth guard. He does some fancy thing with a TENS machine and it costs 2.5 K for the appliance. yipes. Maybe when mine finally bites the dust I'll get a new one. Hard to tell if the one I'm using currently properly protects my teeth though.
Then DD1 and I went off to pick up our new kitchen sink. (She was with me at the dentist too.)
We got home and did some stuff and then dh needed my assistance with the plumbing. Yipes! We ended up doing some of it then, and then waited until the kids were in bed to finish. We finished around midnight:( So much for catching up on sleep:P
Today was more of the same. DH worked on plumbing. I didn't watch what the kids were doing and so the house is a wreck. I did manage to cook dinner and get to the grocery store though. I should have done laundry today too, but the sink isn't available yet. DH needs to do something to the drain pipe:( Hopefully he can fix that up tomorrow. Otherwise I"ll be doing laundry at my friend's house on Tues:P
I decided to get a portable cd player for the trip, so if anyone has any recommendations or non-recommendations, let me know.
Oh, and I forgot to update about the broken collarbone. The deal is, they don't do anything. We just have to be careful about how we pick her up. So, that's good news (and bad news since I forget a couple times a day about that.) But she doesn't seem too bothered by it and it will soon heal.
I think that's it from here. I've been feeling very lazy about posting. I don't know what my problem is. I'm off to bed in some vain attempt to get some sleep tonight. We got snow today so tomorrow is going to be a mess.
