Doin' Stuff

[susandennis]

Nice day. I made a batch of stuffing and froze it in individual portions. I can't always get my preferred stuffing mix but this time of year, it's everywhere so I cashed in. A little celery, a little onion, a lot of butter and some chicken broth. Yum. In fact, I've got a nice, fat chicken thigh sitting atop one of the servings ready to be baked for dinner tonight.

Then I baked two giant potatoes and scooped them out and mixed them with butter, chopped green onions and sour cream. I cut the shells in 2 so now I have 8 servings of twice baked potatoes in the freezer!

I really find cooking pretty tedious but once in a while making a bunch of do ahead stuff, feels very productive.

And I finished a bear.



And made a doll.



Also my Etsy order for more doll fabric came in (really really quickly) and it's fabulous. 10 quarter yards - all fun kid fabric - $10. I started to order 2 bundles the first time but thought I'd better check it out first. It totally checks out and that's an amazing price. So I just ordered two more bundles.

I have 2 manual clocks that if I don't 'fall back' before I got to bed tonight, will drive me nuts tomorrow for sure. I just hope the person in charge of opening up the gym in the morning, remembers.

I read stuffing initially and thought it was bear stuffing not food stuffing - I was very confused as to why it needed to be frozen. Reading is fundamental.

Nah... I always confuse people. When I talk about bear stuffing they think I mean like turkey dressing. It's English. Not my fault :)

But, yeah, I really almost never freeze the bear stuffing :)

jwg did the same thing yesterday. I got it right because I had been warned.

I just did a mental count and I think we have 11 (including such things as light timers, thermostats, and the answering machine). It would be 12 if we bothered switching the time on the microwave. 8 of them have been done; nobody's gotten down to the first floor yet.

Criminy even between the two of you, that's a lotta clock fixin. My stove and microwave both have manual clocks BUT also have the option of turning the clock off. That's the option I pick.
