Planted something – didn’t happen. Although I tended to my little aloe vera plant. I am hoping it will fill the large pot it is in and then I can split it and grow it in another pot as well. I am waiting on some fruit plants I have ordered.
Harvested something – eggs and a few rocket leaves
Preserved something – froze some flour to kill any bugs so I can pop it away
Cooked something new – Pea and Ham soup which was meant to look like this
unfortunately despite my best attempts it failed. My slow cooker died and so I transferred it to the oven on low. I went out. K came home and being helpful pulled it out of the oven and on top of the stove to help thicken it a little and then he went out the back. Result burnt, inedible pea and ham soup. Can anyone say chips?
Managed reserves – Rotated some food out to be used, oh yeah and sorted clothes for the girls.
Prepped something – does a shopping list count or a wish list? No? Well then I took a large bag of shredded paper and buried it in the garden where I plan to eventually have some shade loving plants. I will continue to do this the entire length of the area. The soil is very sandy and this will be a start to adding organic stuff to it. I will be doing more to it later.
Minimized waste – A lot of recycling being done, this generally goes to various schools. Due to K deciding the house needs a cleaning from top to bottom, we have a little more rubbish the normal. I had been keeping us down to the equivalent of about 4 shopping bags (could be 5) but this week I would say more like 8 more to go though. I have a pair of jeans that have rubbed through on the inner thigh so I am going to add some fabric down the seam to help them last longer as well as a few patches to give it the “I meant i to be like this” look.
Learned A New Skill – how to take tablets without water, invaluable.
My menu for main meals the following week looks a little like
Monday – Dutch curry and rice.
Tuesday – This was going to be impossible Pie but it looks like it is going to be a chicken and rice pie dish thing to make sure we use up all the chicken, oddly enough after preparing two chickens for a meal while I was at work I was also given a chicken from work. Couldn’t say no to that But will rearrange the menu to accomadate it.
Wednesday – Impossible Pie
Thursday – Chops and Veges
Friday – Apricot Chicken
Saturday – vegetable dish thing (our very first real meatless meal)
Sunday – Roast
So what have you got planned?
LOL, the pea soup story cracked me up…I SO can relate to the forgetting & burning thingy!
Blessings:)
