TGIM!

TGIM – Thank Goodness It’s Monday

I know, I know, most of you hate Mondays. I don’t blame you, but this is one case where I’m GLAD it’s Monday simply because Sunday was so jam packed. I should be wanting it to be Sunday still, since from Wednesday on, I’ve got stuff going on EVERY day. I then get 2 ‘free’ days, and then have 2 more days of stuff going on.

I think this week is going to be a true testament of whether I can do everything I want without going crazy. It should be fun, even if it is crazy.

Saturday made for an interesting dinner. I planned on making homemade chicken nuggets. I found out we were out of bread crumbs and I didn’t have enough bread to dry to make some. So, I decided I’d make General Tso’s chicken. I found out we were out of corn starch. That’s alright, didn’t really need that. I pulled the thawed chicken out to prep it and found out that it was the *large* breasts that I wanted last weekend to stuff. I didn’t want to cut those up, so it was on to plan C. I grabbed a bottle of honey dijon ranch salad dressing out of the fridge and poured it over the chicken to coat it. I let it sit in the dressing for a couple hours, pulled out my indoor grill and grilled up the breasts. They were *fantastic*. They didn’t pick up a lot of flavor from the dressing, which is good cuz it was hella strong. It gave it a nice glaze to seal in all the juices, though, so they were nice and moist. It was one of those things that was like.. Damn, I can cook after all.

Sunday was Grocery Shopping Day! Fun stuff. We headed out as soon as I was awake and had breakfast. I don’t mind grocery shopping. Some people hate it and I don’t understand why, unless they also hate cooking. I like being able to go pick out things to make, figure out what I can make, what I’d like to try. It’s expensive, but it’s part of life.

Mom made one of my Red Velvet cakes while we were gone. Yay. That made for much happiness. We pretty much did nothing tonight other than watch The Amazing Race. I futzed about on Facebook playing Cafe World and now it’s after 2am and I shall go to bed. I’m exhausted and hope to get more than a couple hours of sleep.

I was going to NaBloPoMo and have already failed. Oh well, life will go on, right? I’ll still try to post at least more than I have been, but it might not happen with my schedule.
