Heyo all. Another so-so day for me. I did do the ellipse for 45 min and worked up a nice sweat so the exercise part was fine.
Food wise though...
I didn't realize until dinner time that the main ingredient for tonight's planned dinner had been popped into the freezer by someone. Of the last two dinners I had planned, one's a crock-pot dish and the other takes an hour and a half! He didn't want to cook any of his planned meals sooo we walked to a restaurant and we both had burgers. oops.
I also had a small accident with some halloween candy.
Oh, and I think my scale is haunted. This morning it said I was two pounds lighter than yesterday morning! wierd.
Lovely: You've got to start using your crockpot! You can use it for all kinds of things not just stew. We just happen to like stew. The main reason I love our crockpot? Sunday night: peeled and chopped 3 large carrots and put them in a baggie. Monday morning: groggily dumped carrots, the contents of various cans, spices, and 2 lbs of lean stew meat into the pot while waiting for fi to finish his shower. (took two minutes, tops). Came back that night to a house that smelled wonderful and had a hot, very tasty meal waiting for us.
My second favorite thing about the crockpot is that you can take ultra lean and inexpensive cuts of meat and turn it into something tender and juicy. We find it to be very cost-efficient.
Tomorrow he comes home at 7 but I won't get home until 10pm, but we'll both have a hot dinner waiting for us. If I didn't know that was going to be waiting for me I'd have a hard time making that 50min drive home without a Mcdonald's stop!
ETA: ack! Almost forgot! Congratulations Rod!!
It does sound like it could be an exciting adventure! And there's nothing better than house hunting!!
