*stretch*

I actually don't like days off. I prefer the night before, because the whole day off is before you.

I have so many things I want to do today, I probably won't get any of it done. *lol**winks*

I did the turkey recipe from one of my cookbooks yesterday, although I don't expect it to be great, since I had to use a marinade cut with water, as opposed to the stir fry sauce called for. However, the turkey already looks fall apart beautiful. I just couldn't leave the crockpot on all night, and it had already been in for 5 hours. So it's on high now, and will be til Noon.

At noon I start the Oriental Beef with noodles. How can you argue with something that uses Ramen. *grins* But seriously, I hate what I see as fast food cheating while using a crockpot. I mean why can't I use more broth and milk, instead of instant soups and such. *sighs*

This weekend there's a Lamb Korma coming. I just need to go to the butcher for the lamb. The stores have little to nothing. I MIGHT substitute chicken, I'll talk to the chef at the office. I'm just like Lisa "Lisa, don't you LOVE ME? Why do you want to eat me?"

So anyway, here's the list for today. Please note it doesn't involve leaving the house or the A/C.

- clean the bathroom
- clean the kitchen
- straighten up the living room, reorging for the drawers I'm putting out there
- shoot some shoes for Ebay
- sort through clothes for donate to Goodwill, and Ebay/VG sale (I think this is done, I just have to check)
- sort through recycling to take over. Probably Thursday at lunch
- go through at least one box to empty.
- work projects, plus the pesky tax thing I simply never get to, so I can email and get it out to the Feds, also BS project I need to start.
- so some serious sitting, watching of L&O and maybe, some lounging.

OK, bathroom before noon! But first I smell coffee, and I need some ice for my water!

Whooooo

Smell my kitchen. Go on, smell it!
Turkey smells good. However, there's another smell underneath it. I think the trash needs to go out while the crock pot insert cools between courses. It needs to be washed before I cook the beef.

Trying to get myself into the bathroom. But you know, it's kinda gross. *grins* But I can get it done and just over with, then go on to the kitchen.I need to put on a different shirt - one that's already been ruined by bleach, instead of the nice clean black tank I have on now.

Ok the bathroom isn't done.
Because I stopped to clean out under the bathroom sink of unneeded chemicals, which lead to wrapping up the trash, which lead to pulling the turkey from the pot which lead to finishing the prep, and prepping for the next course.

I was a bit worried about the turkey bone, I was anticipating needing to clean it to get all the meat off. I shouldn't have worried. The meat FELL off - I know that's not earth shattering but it was cool to see! So I shredded the turkey, and the brocoslaw, and put them away. I'm not ready to eat them, but they will make great rewarmed sammiches or just by themselves.

The beef thingy that's in is going to be fantastic. I really want to Cook it on slow, but the cooktime is about 10 hours, which puts it ready at MIDNIGHT, when I shouldn't be eating and frankly should be in bed. So it's on High to be done around 6.

The bathroom sink sparkles. Now just to match the toilet, the floor and the shower to the sink. ;-)
