Hello to everyone from the Twin Cities of MN where the long discussed and planned reno is becoming reality. I fluctuate between managing and Totally Freaking Out! The “decrapifying process” is almost more stressful than moving- lots of stuff found in the same container I moved it out of my grad school apartment almost 20 years ago. The trash chute at the apartment has been worth the extra few weeks rent for disposal purposes. . .Cooking and packing for 2 adults and 2 girls with an emphasis on clearing out the fridge and freezer- of course the CSA had it’s most productive several weeks ever (per our farmer) so produce overload! A good thing, I guess?
Sat 4L Gyros (Costco, frozen) with traditional sides CSA. Zucchini fritters (Small victories) Mediterranean salad via SK as mentioned by someone I forget who which I have been loving! Added some chickpeas and left out the olives. Great for small bowl nibbles during the packing process
Sun 5: The chicken )freezer defrost) had a specific smell of not good so punting! Dumplings (freezer) corn on the cob CSA, strawberry milkshakes for cleaning up and packing all the art supplies. Mediterranean salad for me
Mon 6: Running way behind as I was able to get big kiddo’s skates in for sharpening with a new guy. Previous business had put a hockey grind on brand new figure skates. GRR. Fancy cheese night with assorted leftovers to supplement
Tonight! First day of school! Last cooked dinner in this kitchen. Pulled pork (Freezer) wraps, Suddenly salad (pantry), green beans CSA
Weds 7: Big kiddo skates and then I really Really really want to attend the city planning committee meeting as they want to rezone some lots in our neighborhood (on a dead end cut de sac) for an Assisted living facility. Which would be at least an extra 100 car trips per day through our residential neighborhood. We are on the corner which would get all the traffic. Mr Autumm will be in charge. Freezer ravioli vs blue box and leftovers.
Thurs 8: Movers come at 8AM. I need to just jump in and cook in the apartment so leftover pulled pork with CSA veggies we dropped off in the fridge earlier today
Fir 9: My kitchen is officially shut down as the appliance people are removing my fridge, range, and dishwasher from the house. Little kiddo skates. Take out
Sat/Sun: Moving all the furniture around to be ready for destruction. More takeout
Mon 12: Destruction starts! Who knows about dinner
So then end of one kitchen era is happening but excited for the the next part. I think. I have to deal with Comcast tomorrow so GAH!
Take care everyone! and thanks for letting me release some pressure. Back when we (I) packed up our first house to move here, Mr Autumm was in Toronto for work so he doesn’t really get how much work this is. My emotional tea cup could use a re-fill!
but I like these Serious Eats recipes,
