This morning Eloise let me sleep until 6PM. That was fantastic. Since I went to bed early, I got 9 hours sleep which I badly needed. So I immediately started a load of wash using cold water and hung it to dry. Then I did a second load of sheets and blankets. Those were dried in the drier.
For lunch I made turkey melts and we had SF chocolate pudding for dessert.
I did not go out today because it is in the teens. But I do have a Walmart delivery coming tonight. I needed some produce, etc. so I placed a small order. I will take a picture and show you tomorrow.
My back is really bothering me today but whenever I grocery shop or have a grocery delivery I clean the refrigerator and take stock of what I need. I had to take little rests in between and sit a bit. But I worked through the pain and got it all done.
I empty it of all the stuff and then take all the drawers and shelves out and clean them very well with soap and water. Then I scrub all the walls of the fridge before I put them back.
It’s pretty full right now mostly with condiments. But we are working at eating them all up. They are on the second shelf on the left. On the top shelf on the left is the eggs that were left when I got my 60 count box the other day. You can see the box behind the ones in the front. The box always fits perfectly up there. To the right of them is a container with 2 hard boiled eggs left that I cooked the other day. We use them for salads and snacks.
On the top shelf on the right is butter that I got on sale stacked all the way to the back of the fridge. Eloise’s dinner is in the container and then jellies and jams..
Back behind our medicines are 2 boxes of ready made pie crusts that I purchased over the holidays on sale. I will be using them to make pot pies.
Third shelf on the left is a container with sour creams, dips, cream cheese spreads, and cottage cheese.
Next to that is our leftovers which right now consists of red beans and rice with hot smoked sausage and some cooked mushrooms. Behind that is an overflow sour cream and a jar of applesauce.
On the third shelf on the right is bacon thawing in a pan for us to have BLT’s tomorrow night. I will cook all the bacon and we will use some for brunches too. On the other pan are 3 half and half’s, a quart of milk, and a cold cream for coffee. Behind all of those items are a diet cranberry juice and 2 Ready Whip Zeroes. I keep meats and milks on these pans because I do not like having to clean my shelves of drips and leaks. It’s much easier to clean the pans.
The fruit drawer on the left is just a few apples. The veggie drawer on the right has a package of romaine lettuce, 5 lbs. of carrots, and 1/2 of a huge onion.
The drawer underneath those drawers is my cheese and meat drawer. It has various shredded cheeses, blocks of cheese for snacks, sliced cheeses for sandwiches, and a few packages of pepperoni.
We will be using the mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, and pepperoni to make a pizza on naan bread for dinner. We season it with a lots of Italian spices.
We have all the bedrooms, bathrooms, and office doors closed to keep Eloise out of mischief. When my son left I meant to close the heat registers in all of the rooms except the bathrooms and our bedroom. So I remembered today and we will see if it saves us anything on our heat bill. With the temperatures so cold this past week and this week, I think we may see a $300.+ bill this month for the first time ever. Ugh.
That’s it for today. I need to go collect all of the garbage so I can put it outside tonight.
I hope you are all having a great day. Be back tomorrow.
