I have net at work

I probably won't catch up on LJ, though. The number of posts since midafternoon Friday... nope.

Because I didn't have net over the weekend, I probably got a lot more done than I otherwise might have. I cleaned a bit and I took advantage of Rob's absence to cook up a storm. I kept filling up the bottom rack of the dishwasher, so I took the opportunity to fill up the top rack with all the mugs we have hanging on decorative racks on the wall. We never use them, and I don't think they'd been washed since we bought the house.

Cooking list:
- Hardboiled eggs, scrambled eggs, a lot of sausage for breakfasts
- Another big pot of bean soup, omitting the potato
- Two one-pound batches of my version of larb
- A weird concoction of meatballs, herbs, onion, bell pepper, and cheese
- Ground turkey seasoned up for Sloppy Joes -- I'm happy to eat this without bread
- Ground turkey seasoned up for tacos -- I'm happy to eat "tacos" without shells

I also bought copious salad fixings. I'd have made green beans in mushroom sauce, too, because unlike most vegetable things it reheats really well, but I'm out of fridge space. The only reason all this stuff fits in there in the first place is Rob's not home yet to claim his share. :-) A major reorg is going to occur this evening, packing stuff down so he has space to buy the stuff he wants. Ziploc bags are my FRIENDS. After that reorg, if I have any room I'll make the green beans.

All in all, not a bad weekend despite the lack of connectivity. :)

my freezer is stuffed, so it's time to stop cooking and start eating. the fridge, however, is quite bare.

i posted a link to a chicken vindaloo recipe, and it was delish! it's yeast-diet approved, so i highly recommend you give it a whirl, when your fridge allows.

I bookmarked that recipe. :-) I'm surprised you get to have rice!

no, i don't get to have rice, but in a moment of weakness i let myself have some. it was that or eat the fridge. :-/ i figured the cup or so of rice was definitely the lesser of the two evils.

I wish I could just get the stuff I'm not supposed to have out of the house so I can't do the same... but Rob eats almost nothing but starch. I'd have to move.
