Domestic-ness
Today was a super productive day. Feeling really good about it. I’ve been in PJs and sweats…all day. We did not leave the house. We cleaned, did laundry, organized, folded laundry, unpacked (since we got home last Tuesday) and other random house type chores, which I normally dread, but today made me feel incredibly accomplished. What does that mean? Am I not being challenged enough at work? Am I overwhelmed at work and so am taking pleasure in accomplishing tasks that I feel are achievable? Am I just getting old? (answer: yes).
We also spent a good many hours in the kitchen. Dan made chocolate chip-cranberry pancakes from scratch this morning. Then we canned a few pints of zucchini relish which sounds weird and like something that you could be good, but could also be very, very bad. But it’s sort of a chunky sweet and sour sauce.
**sidenote – a few weeks ago, we froze some fresh corn, which officially makes us people who ‘put up’ things for the winter. I feel like I’m channeling my Pennsylvania-Dutch roots with this business**
After more cleaning and a break, Dan made some kick ASS salsa, which we then put over the fajitas we made for dinner.
Oh, and also, I made these:
They are fluffernutter cupcakes. Peanut butter/marshmallow cupcakes, with marshmallow frosting and a bit of peanut butter on top. SHUT. UP. They are so good. Also, they are pretty easy. Recipe.
What did you do this weekend?
What did I do this weekend? Relished* the fact that I had the house to myself for TWO WHOLE DAYS. And saw a cousin on leave from Afghanistan. Though I should have also done laundry. Way to make me feel lazy :þ
*Pun intended.**
**So lame, i know.
