I told you I wouldn't post unless I accomplished something. And what, pray tell, did I accomplish tonight? In honor of Top Chef--though the season finale was two weeks ago--I made VEGETARIAN BLACK BEAN CHILI!! Halfway into cooking, I realized that I didn't have any chili powder, so I just threw in random spices, peppers and such. I wouldn't say it was delicious but it was dinner. Plus, I have leftovers for tomorrow's lunch... and Friday's... and Monday's... etc.
While I was cooking I had to deal with a kitty whose face was swelling up due to exposure to onions. I ended up putting her in the bathroom; at first I tried the trick of sticking our heads in the freezer. (Is that cruel?) The second I put her back on the ground, her eyes would tear up and her face would get puffy. To the bathroom, she went!
Even though I don't have a copy of One Year myself, I followed one of the habits tonight. I did all my dishes after cooking--yes, even the sauce pots, which I almost always just leave dirty on the stove until the next time I need it. (Is that gross?)
Speaking of One Year, I don't know if you noticed this on my coffee table when you were over this weekend--awesome weekend, by the way--but I also did a weekly activities breakdown. Great minds think alike because I didn't do it by percentages either. I already threw away my calculations of actual activities, but I have my goals sitting on my coffee tables. I must have calculated this two or three weeks ago, but I haven't followed it once. Actually, maybe today. I did cooking/eating/cleanup for two hours, and in a little bit I will be watching the second part of my one hour of TV (the first part was, and always will be, Jeopardy!).

ReplyDeletedon't worry i have plenty of other comments to make it's just that was the last thing yousaidandANYWAYS... i DIDN'T notice your calculations--i definitely would have asked you about them and we would have delved deep into conversation.
Congrats on the sauce pots! I would say that pots and pans are the most hated dishes when it comes to washing. No one likes to do them. They always get left for later. BUT! Wasn't it easier to just get it over with before all the food got caked on after a few days? That's what I'm seeing.
I had no idea cats were sensitive to onions, too. The book "How To Read a French Fry" has an interesting section about why onions make you tear up. Poor Bird!
also, YAY I'm proud of you for cooking! And I like that you went your own way about it. Did you enjoy the process? What will you try next?
mmmm chili sounds sooo good right now.
