What a wonderful week but as with any vacation I came home with mounds of work to do. We found a fantastic Amish store right in the middle of Branson that we loved so much that we went back and I bought groceries.
I spent about $118.00 and thought it was a great deal but thought I bought a bunch of single service items - (insert blonde moment). Today while I was putting every thing away I noticed it was more “bulk” items.
What I REALLY bought was:
**Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup 7 batches
**Potato Leek Soup 6 batches
**Cajun Rice and Beans 5 batches
**French Onion Soup 6 batches
**Hearty Soup 4 batches
**Slivered Almonds 8- 1/2 cup baggies
PLUS….
pickled okra
pickled eggs (for my brother)
pickled cauliflower
1 large jar of vegetable soup base
various bags of Lentils to try
various spices
6 bags of pasta (mostly egg noodles)
************************************************************************
Once I realized just what I bought I proceed them into smaller batches. The “great ‘deal became a real money saver. All items with ** beside them are stored in the freezer for a longer shelf life.
AND THEN….
I was also able to finish getting my house back into order. I finished the laundry, put the suitcases away, and finished cleaning the kitchen. Kaela forgot to run the dishwasher the entire time I was gone!
On top of that I also double checked my gear for the craft fair tomorrow.
I am feeling like one productive girl.
Best of all… I killed a spider today all by myself!
Starting Monday I will be able to get back to artwork and the card order I am working on. Sunday will be a day for putting my craft fair gear away and rest. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Come and see me at the craft fair SATURDAY!
