I took today off from work, since I have some vacation time still to burn. We ended up needed to get some emergency work done on the house and the access to the attic is in my office so I spent most of the day on the couch doing a whole lot of nothing. N0t necessarily a bad thing to do on a vacation day, but not what I had intended.
We had a brief snow squall come through in the morning, which dropped about an inch. It was lovely to look at but made me every grateful I was inside.
The big adventure for the day was heading up the road to Bill the butcher to pick up my rather large order. Came home and vacuum sealed everything, at least till I ran out of bags. So now in addition to the ground meat and chicken breasts we had before, I’ve got a chicken and some wings to make soup, a boneless turkey breast, a brisket, and some short ribs. I got an upright freezer for my birthday and it is almost filled with yummy goodness- not to mention a stash of frozen pizza for the nights we don’t want to cook! Now all I have to do is start making recipes where I can freeze one portion or more for later! I’ve got no problem with leftovers- they usually make a great lunch the next day over some couscous or quinoa. But I’d be happy to forgo leftovers to get a food stash going.
