Cooking

Even though I slept terribly last night, either coughing or weird dreaming, I have energy. But I feel exhausted. J went with me this morning to the co-op to pick up our fruits and veggies for the week. He drove and I coughed the whole way there, OK for 10 minutes straight, he even noticed. standing in the humid outdoors waiting I didn't cough once. I got tons of tomatoes, so I thought I'd try to make sauce again. Last time it was way to watery. It looked better today, but still watery and I didn't even add any water. J thought it smelled awesome though, guess we'll find out on Monday when we have it for dinner. Didn't feel like standing over the stove to make meatballs, so I just browned the meat and threw it in the sauce. Then while I was on a roll I threw a meatloaf together and threw it in the oven, browned some chicken tenders to make white chicken chili one night this week too. One morning this week, I'll throw a whole chicken in the crock pot, I feel so way ahead of the coming week already, it feels great. Now only if the pork chops and corn were cooked for tonight's dinner :( I did make an apple crisp for dessert already though :) The oven was on, so I figured I should make the most of it, it's still way to hot really to turn on the oven in my opinion unless you plan on really baking. I'll close from this funny quote from our old pastor. Just think...when you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.
