So... I was eagerly tidying the place up and somehow I guess the duvet decided that it didn't want the water to stay IN the washing machine this time. I guess it could have been much worse, but all the same, yesterday gave me some additional work.
On a side note, before all that, I decided to make a big slow cooker full of home made veggie soup. It turned out pretty good, a little on the spicy side but good! I just took the 6+ gallons and split it into some individual portions that I can take for lunch this week and froze the rest. I am thinking that maybe next week I'll do some chili. We shall see I suppose. My great attempts to a) Cook for Myself and b) be Domestic lol!
The recipe changes each time I make it slightly. The recipe is pretty simple if anyone is interested:
1/2 a head of cabbage
Green Peppers ( 2 this time)
Celery ( Two small bundles this time)
1 bag sliced carrots
1 package sliced mushrooms (yes I realize that I am capable of slicing carrots & mushrooms)
1 small bunch of Green Onions
1 bottle V8 juice - 48 oz I think?
2 cups chicken stock
4 - 6 cups water
1 can crushed tomatoes ( I forgot these so added a can of tomato soup & 1/2 a bottle of salsa)
spices: Salt, Pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, Tabasco, franks, Louisiana hot sauce, salad spices, onion powder....
Anyway, if you try it, let me know how it goes!
Resolutions...
