Industrious
May. 31st, 2009 09:47 pmI got so much done this weekend. Matt had to work Saturday, so I had the house to myself, and could get all six loads of laundry done, most of the dishes that had backed up (three loads of the dishwasher), cleaned out the fridge (chicken had leaked), vacuumed the mattress and got the bathrooms tidied.
Today, we made 2 batches of black bean enchiladas, and I'm making Jell-O and date bars. It's tough to think coherently about lunch at 3 am, so having some things handy is a big help. The enchiladas made enough for three two-piece lunches, one four-piece dinner, and one six-piece dinner. Totally vegetarian, and if you used non-dairy cheese, vegan as well. It'll be nice to just have to pull one of the dinners out and zap it to melt the cheese. I'll have to make another batch of the Milestone bars tomorrow night, so we have breakfasts. Only one left from last week, and though I'll have the date bars, Matt doesn't care for dates too much. Jell-O was made in half-cup Gladware containers, so those are grab-and-go for lunches, too.
Also, one of the grocery stores was running "super double coupons," so we got some other stuff we needed there. Soy milk, rice milk, chips for snacking, more of the lovely True Lemon Naturally Sweet...
I'm off next Monday, and Matt works. Maybe I'll get the bathrooms _scrubbed_, and get the living room tidied as well as getting laundry and kitchen cleaning done.
