Okay
I'm back
I am worn out.
This is the first real break from cooking since last Tuesday.
So last Monday I was informed that the dinner that had been planned at my DD's house in the Green Lake neighborhood, was now going to be held on Tuesday. No problem, I thought. I can cook a full turkey dinner for 12 in my sleep. I was certain that there were 2 turkeys in the bottom of my freezer. Well there was only one small turkey at the bottom of the freezer. So no problem. It was the day after Christmas, and the fresh turkeys were 50 percent off. So I bought 4 more turkeys. I had a small one that I baked just in case that deep frying the fresh bird didn't go well. I then transported about half of my kitchen to DD's house, without very much help from DH. DH woke up that morning with a migraine. So dinner was a success.
But earlier on Tuesday morning my DDiL calls up and asks when can we start cooking dinners for the freezer. DDiL is have surgery tomorrow and may be laid up for 6 weeks. So Bright and early Wednesday morning, I got to start making freezer dinners. So here I am now looking for another freezer, in order to put all the dinners in. I did can 14 quarts and 9 pints of chicken/turkey stew. I still need to make up the beef stew. So far I have managed to make meatloaf, lasagna, tuna casserole, chicken casserole, meat and tater pie casserole, and 4 quiches.
I have been able to buy a freezer tonight. I will be able to pick it up on Wednesday. I must say that I am tired of cooking now. At least there is no reason for anyone to think that they are hungry around here.
