What are you doing?

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

I de-frosted my old chest freezer


(7 cub. sq. foot from many years ago)

went to Costco


(Pork Cops, Flank Steak, NY Strip Steak, Ground Beef)

and loaded up my TWO freezers!



well, sorta-kinda. I could put more into the Chest Freezer,
but this will do for now.

I portioned and packaged up 22 pounds of Meat and
10 pounds of Seafood, that took me TWO HOURS!
Not to mention the 2 hours to do the shopping, although I
did have a Dawg and Pepsi
I'm bushed!
And I've still got to make dinner

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

I have a six pound hunk-o-pork in the hot box and our house smells like heaven!





Once it cools down, I package up the finished product with my Food Saver into two portion sized servings for the freezer.



Makes a great, fast meal

I'm finishing up my online grocery shopping. I am almost done doing the produce+ basket order as well as the order from my regular grocery store. Produce+ basket comes tomorrow. I plan for the regular groceries to come on Wednesday.

Spent the week at Boy Scout camp as a new leader.

I remember my scouting days fondly. Congrats for being there for the kids.

Kids and I had great times.

Amazingly there was no politics discussed this week. Everyone was for the kids. I took a class for new leaders. It was nice to be with others that have the same struggles and we could bounce ideas off each other.

That's a great photo, Jon. I remember camping with my Brownie troop ages ago. Now our daughter is a Girl Scout leader. [emoji813]

I bet you're talking about scout council politics, dragn. I remember wrangling and tangling with council on several occasions. Some of the higher up seemed to forget it's supposed to be for the scouts.

Good on you guys!

I've been doing laundry and basically getting
us two settled back at home, yet again.

My Mother, who lives in California, a good 9+ hour
drive away from us, has been having ongoing troubles
with far too many things at "The Home" as she
calls it, aka Senior Living Community, that she
was so befuddled and upset that I made an
executive decision to go out there to straighten
everything out in person.

As my husband and I made the trek out to her place,
we discussed a permanent solution to
all of this and what we came up with is moving her.

I wasn't too sure how she would take this suggestion,
we tried once before to get her closer to us and
were meet with a huge push back.
Fortunately she is all in!!!

We'll be looking for a small place for her, close to
our home here in Arizona, but not living with us.
She still wants to be independent and I think she
can be, but she does need help with somethings, that's
where I came in.

We'll be leaving to go back out to California next month
one last time to collect her.

Just finished up making my canned
Three Bean Salad.
I had made a batch back in May for my Mom
and took it to her when we visited in June, but we
finished off her last jar when we made that
emergency run back there last week.

Planning my next surgery....

Bless you for bringing her closer to you.

That's one reason I came to MO from Cali and I'm glad I did so. So is my daughter.

Oh No, PF! What's broken now? It's OK if you don't want to share, but I hope all goes well with the surgery and you're back to being fine. (hugs)

Ya know Ross, I know that my Mother is far too stubborn to admit to defeat, but when I was attempting to straighten out the hiccups that were happening of late, she said to me, "Ya know, I think I made a big mistake. I should never have moved here."

That was huge for her to say that and it got me thinking ...

Partial obstruction from an old surgery, strictures and adhesions. Working out my schedules so I come back to most of my work done.

We're getting ready for a family trip up north. We rent a lodge, there are 40 of us, Thursday through Sunday. It's an annual event. It's mostly pot luck. It's nice to see everyone & get caught up.

Bothering me enough to get it checked. I mostly nauseous all the time at this point and we all know I loves me foods. Now if I could keep the weight off I've lost through this.
