We are into week two of the redo and I need an intervention. This week I have had nothing to do!!!
The sub contractors are working this week. The electrician, otherwise known as my DH, put in about 14 hours yesterday so as to be ready for the ceiling guys who are here today. They will finish tomorrow and the tile guy will be here Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
My washer and dryer have been removed so I can't do laundry. The guys are creating a lot of dirt even though they are being careful, so there's no point in cleaning the house. I certainly can't make cards. The wind chill here is minus 10 so, no thank you to being outdoors. Here's where the intervention comes in: All I can think of to do is bake and cook! So far this week I've made three loaves of incredible raisin bread, a batch of brownies with a caramel-toffee filling, a big batch of buttermilk pancakes, a huge pot of turkey vegetable soup and a vat of chili. I'm going to weigh 500 pounds soon!!
Seriously, I have eaten almost a whole loaf of that raisin bread by myself. The other two loaves are in the freezer along with the pancakes. I've been reading and embroidering and playing with my computer but Pinterest recipes keep calling me. Luckily, I should be able to start painting the walls down there by next Wednesday. That will get me off my butt and out of the kitchen.
