What's a few more days?

** warning - rambling food-related post below **

Well, the seller has until Saturday night to get back to us with a counter-offer... We're not too nervous though as we know he's willing to sell his property and we've got a bit of room to move, price-wise. Then, we'll find a mortgage one way or the other because hey, we're doing this and we're not afraid of obstacles... If we wanted easy, our love story would never have happened, LOL!*

*new readers: Vegas moved from England last summer to be here with me in Canada, now we're married and looking for more trouble, apparently. He he.

Hey, do any of you ever visit my photography blog? I haven't been updating it much lately because I don't think many people visit...

I can't let it die cuz I think it's so pretty, but whatever.

Our fridge has been miraculously full this week because, ta-daaah! I did some smart cooking on Sunday! I'm always too tired on weeknights to cook so... used my brain, for a change!

• Poached some skinless, boneless chicken breasts in a bit of broth. Set them aside for chicken pot pies, used the broth in a yummy ham, potato and corn chowder.
• Made a juicy meatloaf, defrosted some thick pork chops and pie dough.
• Peeled and chopped a bunch of potatoes, used some in the chowder and boiled the rest to be used in the chicken pot pies and as mashed to go with the meatloaf.

So Sunday we had the chowder for dinner, with wine.

Monday we had the meatloaf with the prepared mashed taters, just peeled, julienned and steamed some nantaise carrots for veggies. Finished the wine.

Tuesday, rolled out the pie dough, made a packet of À La King sauce and tossed that with some chopped cooked chicken breast, the cooked cubed potatoes and some canned peas and carrots. Had enough for two lovely pies that cooked golden brown and bubbly in no time. Vegas ate almost an entire one. *rolls eyes*. The other is in the freezer for next week or so.

Tonight, we had the meatloaf again, with some steamed broccoli.

Tomorrow, we'll have the pork chops that I baked with olive oil and onion soup mix, just need to bake some squash to go with that.

We've been lunching on the chowder and still have a bunch of chicken left over, dunno what to do with it... will probably freeze and save for later, there is just too much food and not enough mealtimes. Wow. That's never happened before!

*giggles*

I can only imagine how ridiculous it's going to get once I have my own kitchen and time to use it... I plan on buying a bread machine and planting a small garden next year, btw.

I told Vegas that I'd make some lucky guy a good wife someday. He he.
