Sunday Catchup

Hey, did you all remember to turn back your clocks if you are in daylight savings time? Woke up at 5:50am to hear Princess coming in (which we will be having a talk about later this afternoon, missy) and realized, ohh heck, it's really only 4:50am.

Which means, it will be bright in the morning when I wake up but dark at night on my way home from work. Uggg. I hate that!

Time to clear the To Do List ...

1.  Change clocks
2.  Boil dozen eggs
3.  Make mayo
4.  Make biscuits (its been on the list and TODAY I'm going to make them!)
5.  Prep lettuce for week
6.  Prep salad stuff for week
7.  Inventory guest kitchen freezer
8.  Menu plan and post
9.  Set up Veggie post
10. Make honey mustard salad dressing
11. Make OG salad dressing
12. Cook up some extra chicken for lunch proteins and quick fix dinners
12. Clean under sink in master kitchen

Not so very bad today ... doable with the slight beer induced headache that I have ...



The cleaning under the kitchen sink? Well, a few weeks back, Kitty Kitty brought in little mice/baby rats/whatever they are and one I caught, the other one I didn't. Both of them were brought to Hubby's closet and played peek a boo with Kitty Kitty for a few hours before I gave up and shooed him out of the closet.  The 2nd one ran out of the closet, into the master bathroom and up underneath the cabinet, on MY side! Yeah, that was exciting!  So a few days later, we found him in the garbage can in the bathroom, dead. Odd, don't you think? Nothing in the garbage can but a couple of qtips, a few pieces of tissues (used to remove mascara). But the thing was, for the 2 days of him 'roaming the house', I was flinging cabinet doors open and jumping back just in case he was like Mighty Mouse or something ... I had traps set all over the house and he didn't even set one off. Hmmm.

So I thought,  I should probably clean out some of the areas that are really cluttery where a MM could hide out for a while.


Just an FYI ... it took EVERYTHING not to tidy it up before the picture. I should be embarrassed, but you know, just keeping it real ... maybe I'll do a little post on the results :)

What do you have planned today?

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
