What a day! I woke up late this morning (as usual) so had to rush around to get myself and the girls ready to meet everyone at the trail. I had a good run out but it's always tough coming back in. Seems like it's up hill or something. Anyway, I've been taking the portable DVD player with us since it's been rainy and all. It gives the girls something to do while they are cooped up in the stroller with all of the flaps closed. Well, something to do other than pull each others hair, bite, scratch, kick and otherwise mutilate the other one. It stopped working about half way through the run. They did pretty good regardless so I'm happy about that.
We got back home and I jumped in the shower so we could hit Costco. I got this book called Fix, Freeze, Feast and it's geared towards shopping at the warehouse stores (Costco, Sam's Club) and fixing dinners based on that stuff. You make a huge batch of whatever and freeze about 4-6 meals for later. Not all of them are pre-cooked. In fact a lot of them you still need to bake or whatever so it's still tastes fresh even though it's frozen! You can mix and match the recipes and make several different meals instead of all of the same but I'm not at that point yet. Today I bought the stuff to make up four different main dishes that total about 32 meals for my family plus one side dish that will go with about 8 of those meals plus a bunch of extra crap for under $300! I only made up one recipe tonight as I ran out of time and planned on eating one of the portions for dinner. It was good - Salisbury Meatballs. I made up some bow tie pasta to eat with it. My original plan was to make some regular pasta sauce for me to eat. But I tasted the mushroom sauce before I added it to the meatballs and YUM! So I just spooned the sauce and mushrooms over my pasta.
I'll finish up preparing the rest of the recipes at various times this week and then will probably find a couple more recipes to do next week. That should help us out with our hectic schedules!
Well, I guess that's my journal for today. I have some shows to catch up on and some Facebook to look at!
GO TEAM S.H.R.I.M.P.!
