I'm going to Popeyes... cripes and holy cow. Yours truly attempted fried chicken tonight. Now on the upside, it was cooked all the way through, it tasted and looked OK, but cripes what a mess. It was contained to that one pot, and I'm not looking forward to cleaning THAT one tomorrow. And I used a Paula Deen recipe those have rarely failed and this one didn't but cripes that was a lot of work for all that. I'll pay Jose at Popeyes next time, less mess, less clean up and prep time.
And now on to complaint number 2: more snow. Yes boys and girls you read that right - we've got more snow. Now last night the last weather report I heard was storm to the south we should see about an inch or so and that's it... there was an inch on the ground at 10 AM and it kept coming... all day long. According to Bubba, who is well on his way to making up for missing the 2 feet we had in December, there is probably about 6 inches on the ground and another 2 have fallen since he's shoveled the driveway. So 8 more inches of snow. I don't live in snow country people I live in DC - the news tonight said to drive 1o miles on the beltway was going to take you 90 minutes. 90! Not that I had any idea to go out into that mess by then but yeesh.
Not to mention this did put my Saturday meet, eat and gossip session off by 24 hours but hey at least we are still meeting - I don't care if I have to put runners on the truck - we're outta here tomorrow - briefly anyway.
And please mark this post for those of you playing along at home - Aunt Ing is done cooking for the next 2 weeks. Bubba is leaving town - and I'm done. We've almost finished all the leftovers, and that bit of chicken and noodles we had today - will last me until at least Wednesday. Done and done. If you can't nuke it up in the microwave or have it "to go" we ain't eating. I can't imagine doing this for an entire family on a regular basis - now I know why Valium was invented. What? Yeah so, I'm a pampered princess - read up and pay attention that bit of information has been here... ;-)
So, a surprise Saturday at home, my last free weekend until April, so I really can't complain about a snow day.
Now Bubba doing our taxes - oh yeah I can gripe. He's sitting on this very computer, and the questions start about charity giving - did you do this - did we do that- what does 2 blinds with hardware mean, you really need to be specific - what are kitchen containers - were they plastic. I'm amazed I wasn't drunk by 3. But no I exercised self-control and frankly it was a mood thing - too early to start drinking - and we're out of Coke to go with the rum. I told you the snow caught me off guard! You must always have provision when the weather turns.... :-)
So now it is late into the evening, Bubba has been fed and is happily watching bad TV in his lazy boy, the pups have been bathed, their bedding all washed, and now our clothes are getting washed - and yes after a very complete scrubbing of the washer to rid ourselves of dog hair... it's a glamorous life I lead isn't it?
Now - does anyone have any good ideas for a new washer? Mine has a bladder control problem, you give it a heavy load and it leaves a puddle on the floor. I'm off to go exploring the wide world of new washing machines, if I nod off just hit the escape key will ya? It will zap me awake.
Take care - stay warm and will someone please turn off the snow machine? Thank you.
