I came home from work yesterday and was literally a non stop maniac.
I got home. Changed into my workout clothes (yay for daylight savings time). Took Mickey to the park. (ran into Mari). Did day 3, week 2 of C25K. Started 3 loads of laundry. Made a peanut butter pie for work(recipe coming soon!). Put the peanut butter pie for work away (see also: hide from cheese eater). Made a loaf of caraway soda bread (recipe coming soon!). Forgot about laundry. Ran down to get it. AND THEN started dinner.
Dont ask what time that happened.
It is pitiful how I do nothing for DAYS and then ONE day decided to DO EVERYTHING. But everything had to be done today. (dont you hate when you’re down to that last pair of Good socks?)
Luckily, I predicted that i would be needed something oniony and peppery so i pre chopped some pepper and onion….
And added ground turkey.
some beans.
Some herbs and spices.
and some tomato sauce.
and before I know it, had some chili.
It took about 30 minutes from start to finish. And it simmered while I folded my laundry and did some heavy duty dishes. (making pie and bread gets messy)
When all was said and done, i sat on my butt to give my tired feet a rest and indulged in a hearty bowl of chili.
And i sighed.
Because spring is near and chili season is quite possibly ending…(other chili recipes if you are hungry: Veggie Chili and slow cooker chili)
its bittersweet.
(like the chocolate peanut butter pie chilling in my fridge right now)
How were you superwoman today? And if you’re not busy, would you rub my feet?
Oh hell no to the feet. I'm sure they are lovely but they have places like that you know?? And I am going tonight thanks to Groupon!Proud of you doing c25k–you go girl! Life has been so hectic lately but I took a sick day today since I've been so stressed out, meh.chili looks sooooo good. Sour cream makes everything better! Maybe you can rub some on your feet and have Mickey lick it off?? HAHAHAHHHAH ewwww I know
If I rub your feet, may I have some pie? Sounds delicious.
I find the busier I am, the more inspired I become to do more things. This is especially true for me when it comes to cooking, recipe creating and blogging. Perhaps that's because these are my passions and they "feed" each other. Don't fret, Chili Season isn't really over – don't forget about quick cooking "White" Chili made with tomatillas or a cilantro/onion based sauce and no tomatoes. You can sort of make it a more spring/light tasting meal.
i think i'd rather refer to you as superwoman instead of maniac. haha i thought i did a lot when i got home from work and cooked dinner/made lunch for tomorrow but DAMN girl. and talk about doing daylight savings up! love it.
I have an aversion to feet in general, including my own- I can't even really look at feet. Now that I've said too much, I'm impressed with all you accomplished. I did almost nothing today
Oh, and when I eat dinner late, it's always, always a salad…or cereal, or veggies and hummus. I'm impressed with your fancy dinner once again.
I really need to get in more chili recipes before winter is officially over. You've gotten me in the mood!
I want that peanut butter pie. By the way.
