Assortment pack
Being a loose catch-up aggregate of things I meant to say this past week and didn't yet.
***
Last weekend when we were in Denver at the political training seminar, we went to see Fahrenheit 9/11. (Because I know darned well it's not ever going to be one of the two movies per week that show here in Lamar.) Even though I thought I pretty much knew what to expect, it was still a powerful emotional experience. I can't say it was a "good" movie, because that implies (to me) that it was enjoyable, and it's too horrific for that. But I'm glad I saw it.
***
Last week I got all energized and listed a mish-mosh of stuff on eBay. Quite a bit of it sold, which is a good thing. But now comes the part which I'm not as crazy about--packing odd-shaped, bulky items. Yesterday I sent the CPR half-guy on his way in a cobbled up mess made of two boxes stuck together. Today I have to pack up a chenille bedspread, a motorized coin back, a set of learning the alphabet booklets (OK, those are not so hard, I admit) and a double headed gooseneck desk lamp. *sigh*, my life is so teh hard....
***
I realized too late that what I REALLY should have headlined the snail post with was, "MY EGGCASEZ ARE PASTEDE ON YAYYY!!!11!!
***
I haven't posted anything about soup in a long time. But I am making some today. I had a lot of cheap clearance mushrooms on hand, and Thriftway had a sale of the 10 pound bag of chicken legs and thighs for $3.99! Last night we ate the leg parts for dinner, and I tossed all the thighs into the crockpot. A little while ago I deboned them. The meat and broth goes in the mushroom soup, joined by the goopy stuff I always save from the pan (in the freezer, of course) when we cook chicken the usual way. (Garlic powder, vinegar and soy sauce, bake at 400 degrees until done. Eat the crispy yummy skin first even if you aren't supposed to on your diet.) I'm chilling the broth and meat now, so I can easily remove the rest of the fat. My hands are really soft just now, from the chicken fat. Or is that TMI?
Those 10 pound bags on sale make me feel very self-satisfied, as we get 3-4 nice meals and a good big glob of highly appreciated pet food additive for that four bucks and a little work!
