I came home from work this evening and started “cooking ahead” so the next few days all I have to do is heat and eat — clever, huh? Besides, with DH’s crazy schedule, I never know when he’ll be home for supper.
So while I was steaming, pouring, whisking, measuring and about leaving the salt out of the roux, off to the side of the dining room were the three rat-boys — all a-rattling their cages and wanting out — NOW!
Sigh! Can’t really blame them — and they do seem to like their Grammie…
Robin is hanging on the side of his cage…Caesar is eyeing the latch to his…Hamlet is peering out the edge of his hammock, intently peering…
Nothing like having three little ratties wanting to hang onto Grammie’s apron while she’s slaving away over a hot stove…
Rattle. RATTLE…RATTLE!!
Hang on boys — here… have a yogie…
Back to cooking: besides Sunday’s leftover lasagna, we also have leftover spaghetti which was leftover before the lasagna (!), and barbecue leftover before all of that…but in the fresh department we now have Cracker Barrel green beans and asparagus soup. In the crockpot there’s a roast, potatoes, carrots and onions simmering away.
Once that was all done, I turned the boys loose…
They wore the rest of me out.
