Turkey sandwiches with some cranberry sauce over them on the next day isn't bad. I do really like the stuffing. Once I get the pantry cleaned up better I need to get more stuffing to make.
I guess we have different tastes, Flyover. I like moist bird meat. But then I like softer textured foods. I have a weird thing where the in my lower jaw behind my teeth stick up way higher than normal and anything hard and brittle like crackers, chips, etc scrape & cut the skin over the bones.
To this day I still don't like green beans bc Mom used to make them from a can and I hated them.
I'm currently cooking yellow rice and just heated up a Stoufer's chicken enchilada for Mom. She seems to like it. She was born in Detroit but grew up in California so she misses Mexican food. We don't really have much of that around here.
My stupid shoulder is aching. I leaned on the doorframe while bending down for something and my shoulder can't handle any pressure like that. Can't reach behind my back or lift my arm too high. Just getting up from bed both of my shoulders were sounding like rice cereal.
I need to power through and get some cleaning done tomorrow though. Spicoli has been encouraging me to get stuff cleaned up and to eat better. I need to do both, but I'm going to try baby steps. I realize that when I look at the huge mess I feel overwhelmed so I'm going to try tackling small areas a little at a time. Getting the counter with the microwave cleaned up made me feel good. I just got a spray bottle and plan to do the warm water + vinegar to spritz on cabinets.
Speaking of the bottle, I grabbed it and went to check out and then realized there was no sticker or barcode anywhere on it. I do self checkout bc the other lanes are usually closed. The clerk who works in that section came over and I told her where I got the bottle from, she looked it up, found it, and then used the hand scanner from the self checkout to scan the barcode on her little handheld screen thingy. Usually I have to go back and grab another one so that was sweet of her. A lot of the clerks would have me go back and get one that has a label.
As an aside, once I get things cleaned up more, I have a project for my friend's kitchen. I saw this plan on Ana White's site:
Rustic X Small Rolling Kitchen Island | Ana White and decided on some modifications. Full shelf, wider drawer with proper drawer glides, Painted to match the cabinets but the panels under the X pattern would be gloss black (I already have the paint for that).
Here's the original from the plans

My general plans:

I'd still have the 12" deep drawer but would have a shelf behind it. I know, maybe a pipe dream, but I already have some of the lumber for it.
The planning part makes me happy-- especially when my body is not cooperating with actually doing stuff.
