How many of you had to work today? Raise your hand! I am raising mine. I wasn’t sure if I was going to have work to do, but I ended up with pretty much a full day. I kind of was hoping to have the day off because I worked about 3/4 day on Saturday.
My work schedule has been pretty all over the place lately and I have to admit that I am feeling the effects of being unsettled. Plus I am feeling tired and worn out. I need to relax about the work a little bit, but seem unable to do so. It’s kind of hard to do when you control your own paycheck.
Anyway, I totally forgot to take pictures of breakfast and lunch today. See? My head is just not quite where it is supposed to be. Which ideally would be a tropical island or possibly New Orleans, but what are you going to do?
Pixie has been enjoying the work on the floors. It’s opened up all kinds of new places for her to inspect. Like the intake vent.
I laughed when I took this picture, then she tries to disappear into the vent. Do not need a kitty in the duct work, thank you very much! We have to make sure to replace the vent covers after we work on an area or she gets in there.
I did take some photos of dinner. I made an easy cheater soup tonight. Cream of turkey and rice soup. Only 4 ingredients, 2 of which were these.
I don’t know if I have ever posted a recipe with condensed any kind of soup before LOL! I normally don’t cook with it, but the grocery store was discontinuing this organic cream of chicken (who knew this could be organic?) – so I bought a couple of bargain boxes. If I had precooked rice, this would have been the quickest meal ever, but I didn’t. I just cooked up a bigger batch to have leftovers later.
I used 1 box of chicken soup and filled the box with 1% milk for a 1:1 ratio. Put that in a saucepan. Then I chopped up some cooked turkey we have been feasting on for a while now from the big bird my sister cooked a week or so ago.
Isn’t soup pretty much the last thing you make with turkey leftovers?
Once that came to a simmer and heated through, I added 1 cup of cooked rice.
This was pretty good, I have to say. And easy. I like easy.
Plus it helped clean out the pantry. Always a good bonus.
