Taking Charge

Okay, so we’ll start at the top of the list I posted last night or this morning.. whenever it was. Friday was pay day, so we had to go to the bank and do a couple errands. One of those things was to head to the weekly Farmer’s Market in Sayre. I’ve never been, since he usually works on Fridays. I was looking forward to being able to buy fresh local produce. So we went to the bank, went to Salvation Army in hopes of finding Rob a few pair of cheap jeans since he tends to rip them quicker than hell.

We had no luck, so we headed out to get some lunch. We decided on Chinese, which was so good and for once I didn’t end up wishing I hadn’t eaten it. That’s rare since my stomach tends to rebel often with the meds that I take. After lunch, we headed to the Farmer’s Market which was a real bust. There was only 2 vendors with produce, one was organic, the other was just plainly overpriced. The other 5 vendors had crafts, which isn’t bad, but it’s a waste if you’re looking for produce.

I figure that if I want a decent Farmer’s Market, I need to go into one of the cities for one. I think figure that in a city it’s easier to get vendors because of the population not being out in the farming land. But anyway, that’s enough for this post. Got more to write about

Okay, so I’m officially annoyed with twitter.com. I can’t receive tweets from other people atm. No idea why, it says my ‘home’ page doesn’t exist, but my account is in tact, so it’s nothing I’ve done to get booted off. In a way, it’s okay because it’s one less distraction from the things I need to be doing. I should make a todo list of all the crap I need to do, but I don’t want to, I want to procrastinate some more.

While writing the rest of this post, my twitter got fixed. This is the result of it taking me 3 hours to write a post.

I spent much of my day either in the kitchen playing with a meat slicer or at the computer playing a game and listening to Leo Laporte. Seriously, I love my meat slicer. We sliced up a beautiful rib roast into 12 lovely steaks, all the same thickness and size. Those will make some lovely meals throughout the month. I also sliced up squash for stirfry. 4 lovely zucchini’s and 4 yellow squash, all cut to the same thickness for even cooking. So much nicer than I could do by hand and a LOT faster. Tonight, after Rob got home and we had dinner, I sliced up a large stick of pepperoni so that I can make pizza or calzones. We have a giant Lock ‘n Lock container full of pepperoni. More than I need for pizza, but it won’t go to waste.

I did try to make a strawberry milk tonight using fresh strawberries that we picked up yesterday, however that was an EPIC FAIL. I poured the berries into my blender then opened up a unopened half gallon of milk. Sniffed it, it smelled fine, took a sip.. tasted fine. Poured some into blender and it was… CHUNKY. Yeah all those fresh berries went down the drain along with an entire half gallon of milk. I’m not happy at all, especially with the sell-by date being July 10. I’m just glad I hadn’t done a shake and wasted ice cream.

I should be working on the deluge of blinkies that I have to make from before the monitor issues. I should also work on tagging my pictures on Flickr and Picasa. I should be working on a lot of different projects, including crocheting, reading Blood Noir and Kitchen Witch. Instead, I’m arguing about the difference in respect and being respectful with some overgrown children. Ah well.

Anyway, hope everyone had a lovely weekend and has a lovely week.
