The last two days have been rather miserable. I haven't cooked due to not having much food and as you know I didnt have food due to the refridgerator breaking down. Adding insult to injury the little food I did have got intentionallly thrown out by an individual residing under the same roof, whom I dont particularly care for. Apparently even in fridgeless times my food items cannot be iin her freezer. To be in your forties and engage in this kind of ridiculous behavior speaks for itself so I'm not gonna waste my energy via typing more about it
Moving on:
I've been browsing appliances the last few days, specifically looking for a larger crockpot (I have a 2 qt) and a new food processor. I am also in the market for a yogurt cheese maker, which I found for a reasonable price on amazon. IIn terms of the crockpot, I was torn between the 4 qt and the 6 qt but then discovered that they have 5 qt so I'm now leaning towards that size. Decisions, decisions! Size aside, I definately want one that is programmable (my 2 qt is not) but will likely shop around a bit in an attempt to score one extra cheap. Money is tight these days and since I do have the 2 qt I don't consider it need as it's in perfect condition and does exactly what I need it to do when I use it, which is mainly for desserts.. However, I think that is about to change as the search itself has inspired me to get something slow cookin' As I type away I have about an hour to go before my Sweet Potatoe & Apples are ready. Mmmmmm! I also have bread laying out to dry for a Crockpot Stuffing.
For tomorrow's lunch, I whipped up Fiesta Lime Roasted Veggies and I also made Cinna-Nilla CousCous Pudding to bring to work tomorrow and share with my hardworking and dedicated service team employees, Jessica & Irvsher.
