Feb. 28, 2009 - Preparing to go to work
Now that I know I will be starting a job soon, I have gotten into the "organized chaos" mode. 
Here is an example of what I mean: I have been brainstorming for things I can do now, before I start working, so that I don't need to do them quite as often once I start my job. IOW, my kitchen was constant chaos until I finished all of my projects. 
After going to the post office and the grocery store, I started a load of bedding in the washer. While that was going, I got 10 # of leg quarters cooking on the stove. Next, I made a double batch of grape nuts cereal. (Posted under recipes)
Once the chicken was done cooking, I started working on making a huge batch of Cincinnati Chili. While I waited on that to simmer, I washed up all the dishes, and finished running the grape nuts through the blender to grind it.
DD and I ate the Cincinnati chili for lunch so that I didn't need to make anything else, other than the spaghetti. I still need to bag up the chili into meal-sized portions and freeze for later use. Usually, when I make a recipe myself, it is much better than the store-bought stuff. I'm not sure that is the case with the particular recipe. 
We will have to eat it anyway. 
I added a few more spices to it to give it more zing because I thought it was rather bland in taste.
I still need to de-bone all of that chicken and put it in meal-sized portions, but right now, I needed a break. 
Now, back to kitchen.......
