Where's the beef? Yeah, in my freezer.
I have been up cooking for the freezer all day today. I started with Mac-n-Cheese that was made from scratch. I'm talking, melted butter, cooking garlic, thickened with flour, sauce made of whole milk and chicken broth scratch. It made two 8x8 pans full PLUS a 3x8 loaf sized pan full that we had the pleasure of "testing" tonight at dinner.
THEN - I cooked FIVE AND A HALF POUNDS OF BEEF!!!!!!!
I've got about 15 servings of sloppy joes, a quart of chili and a quart of taco/enchilada goodness.
Then I cooked most of dinner on top of that.
Man, my feet are KILLING me. But I've got on my tennis shoes, so they're not swollen. My legs, that's another story.
Tomorrow, I do the chicken casseroles, the breakfast buns and muffins and the scalloped potatoes. We can have people over for like, real meals and I won't have to do anything but send Ben out to the freezer to get anything!
My mom got here around 11:00 this morning and has been working on the crib bedding since. She and I spent a few minutes laughing at Lilah have the hiccups earlier. :-) Anyway - she's almost finished sewing together the bumper and I'm going to take a break from being on my feet and work on the announcements.
Long day. Very long day. But productive.
