Saturday's sugarin' left me with a little more than a gallon of syrup (three gallons divided between A., Jason, and Jodi left us with about a gallon) that needed a little further reduction. So I did some of that this morning during Charlie's first nap. I did some dishes as well, because they didn't all get finished last night.
During Charlie's second nap and Cubby's nap, I managed to get some more laundry mucous made. And did more dishes.
Tonight when both kids were asleep, I canned seven quarts of chicken stock made from the surprise rooster (the lone surviving chick left after the fox attack turned out to be a male) that A. killed Saturday. And then I did some more dishes.
So, three quarts of maple syrup reduced, three gallons of laundry detergent made, and seven quarts of chicken stock canned. And a LOT of damn dishes.
I'm ready for bed now.
* Have you ever read "A Jury of Her Peers," by Susan Glaspell? I love that short story, and I don't even like short stories. I always think of the phrase "kitchen things" as used in that story when I'm working in the kitchen.
LOL! No on could ever accuse you of being lazy!
ReplyDeleteI have been walking around with a note telling me to read "A Jury of her Peers" for maybe 2 years? I heard a bit about it on the radio and wrote it down. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteSo productive! That's my kind of day. Minus the dishes of course.
