Quiet day in the hobbit hole today, I guess. I'm in my favorite place - home - happy that a hectic week is *over*. Wahooo! Now I'm mulling over what to fix for dinner.
It's pork chop Friday here. For some reason Steve's family has pork chops every Friday and we do too.
Yay! Friday, and I'm home! Now all I have to do is make a reasonable dent in my pile o' homework and I'll be set.
I ordered in a case of low-carb pasta (ordering in bulk is the only way to get this particular brand around here) and I am considering fixing some.
I could have homework if I wanted to. My team leader seems to think we're not busy enough and keeps piling it on. Folks are frustrated, my form of protest is not bringing it home over the weekend. I have a house to clean and a Super Bowl to cater.
Heh.... just say no to working on weekends.
Sci Fi Friday tonite! *happy dance*
Speaking of bulk...how would I go about buying big bags of frozen veggies? I mean restaurant sized bags of veggies.

That's a good question. I wonder if big food clubs like Sams Club or BJ's have veggies in that size bag. Might be easier to check there than to try to negotiate something with a wholesaler.
They do...but I compared prices once and ounce per ounce, they're the same as the small packages of stuff at walmart.
Old Sam doesn't budge a cent.
On the other hand, their Seasoned Green Beans With Onions And Red Peppers is pretty good! I like to take a box of PastaRoni (one of the Angel Hairs works best) and combine it with chopped meat (leftover ham or turkey) and Sugar Snap Peas "doctored up" with sauteéd onions and other yummies. But a few handfuls of those Seasoned Green Beans works fine, and isn't nearlyas much effort.
From their website, I see that they have Garlic Spinach. Oh, mamma, I see Angel Hair Florentine in my immediate future!
Got this nice note back:

Woo Hoo!
Should it be Misty Marathon, or Dr. Who night?
You don't need an excuse to stop by! ;-)
Ungh...except that, because it's Friday, Mr. Beepy is starting the tunes early and will prolly play 'em late. *sigh*
Just had some folks stop by to look at the desk I'm selling, but it wasn't what they were lookin' for. Which is OK, since I have others that are interested...but I really hate dealing with selling stuff! I'm NOT a natural salesperson, to say the least...
What's Misty?
'Course, I could always watch Westworld first.
Afternoon everyone!
We've been having a lazy day here, watchin' DVDs
No storm yet, but we'll be here when it comes... The group wants to give me quiet pony powder to calm my nerves :~D
