At rest for the moment.
Feb. 23rd, 2013 06:32 pmAnd hopefully it will only be a moment. Still loads and loads to do, though not loads of laundry. The last load is in the washer right now. Yay!
I have slowly, slowly started the household catch-up, and while the results wouldn't be visible to a guest, they are noticeable to me. If only because the pile of recycling is out of the house. And the risk of stepping on Legos has been reduced by 200%. And the lack of an impassible pile of clothes on the upstairs landing...
I haven't gotten around to preparing the vegetables/roast yet, though. Bad momma bear, me.
Good momma bear, me, I made Page help by shucking the brussel sprouts. I didn't force the issue on his peeling the carrots, though. Which means more work for me. ;-]
Also very nice momma bear, me, I made a diet-compliant version of chicken nuggets today. Chicken strips dipped in egg and coated in a mix of almond and coconut flours with a bunch of salt mixed in. I fried them up and then put them in the oven for a few minutes to make sure they were completely cooked. They were tasty.
The leftover egg and flour fritters were also tasty, if a bit charred.
But, god, I hate preparing vegetables. I love eating them when they're well prepared, but what a time-sink and nuisance.
Ach well. It's late, so I'd better end my moment and get to it. Yep.
