m_of_disguiseWhile we still have quite a bit of chicken to work our way through, I've decided to start chipping away at the insane amount of beef we have in the freezer. We have at least 14 t-bone steaks that have been in there since winter that absolutely need to be used, but it's hard to find a way to use them since our apartment complex banned grilling, and that was what we had planned to do with them when we bought them. At this point I'm afraid they've been frozen for so long they won't taste too great anymore. So maybe some sort of marinade? I'll have to figure something out.
We also have about 8 pounds of ground beef to work through. I'm not a huge fan of ground beef, it just brings to mind kids food like hamburger helper and noodle casseroles. Meh. The one solution that would use a large chunk of what we have is a pot of chili, which M would love because he seems to really like my chili, but I'm sort of sick of chili and I don't like eating it for every meal for a whole week. I'm thinking of doing an Italian wedding soup this weekend so I can use some of the beef to make meatballs, and maybe some stuffed shells. Other suggestions are more than welcome!
The local mycology society has an upcoming lecture on how to start growing your own mushrooms! I am excited, growing mushrooms has been something I've wanted to do for years. M may not like them much, but I will definitely eat all the sauteed mushroom dishes by myself.
The fetus has gone from "yeah, I feel an occasional little flutter here and there", to "omg, I'm carrying a kung-fu master." I was kicked with sufficient force during the night to actually wake me up.
In kitty news, Tiger turned 2 over the weekend! He was given many treats and snuggles, and lots of playtime.
Carolina decided that wasn't fair, so she took over my lap last night and demanded to be held like a baby all evening. She draped herself over my arm and slept there for hours. Spoiled.
