I've been starting off slow the last couple days. I've been so unmotivated, perhaps it's the foot of snow outside, or that our house doesn't get much above 65 degrees inside. I have planned out a menu for the rest of the week though. Tonight is Potato Leek Soup, which I've lightened up by fat free evaporated milk. Here's a link to the recipe. It's the perfect cold, crappy weather soup to warm you up. Mmmm

Tomorrow I'll be making a pizza from scratch with mushrooms and The Piggery Cranberry Sage sausage. I bought a share of their winter CSA, so we've been getting pork in all of it's glorious forms once a week for the past couple weeks. The recipe that I linked to is mostly just my guide to making for making the dough. There is nothing better than homemade pizza, and you will never go back to using a pre-made dough or bobouli (eww). The pizza should hold all of use over for at least two days, or that's the plan anyway.

After pizza night(s), it's fajita night. I really, REALLY dislike those premade fajita kits. It's just 12 different kinds of salt made to taste sortof mexicany... Yeah, you can do better with some cayenne pepper, garlic and other seasonings that you like, without all the salt and eww. I think I've decided on chicken fajitas, with some homemade guacamole and some tasty fresh salsa. It's all about the toppings, the rest is just filling. I"m hopeing to make enough of these to last a couple days. So that's 5 days already, with 3 meals.

We got some great fresh ground beef from the farmers market a couple weeks ago and are still thinking of what to make with it. What ever it ends up in, it'll be great.

Ah, so, now that that's done, I guess I could write about how I"ve been feeling. I could sum it up pretty simply as drained. Really, overly drained. I'm sure the weather has something to do with it, but it's probably more that Brandon has left, again. I know it's his job, but it sucks none the less.

I'm hoping that I get over this pretty quickly, since school is starting in a couple weeks and I have hockey tonight. I am so ridiculously out of shape. That's part of what's making me miserable as well. I have no one to blame on that one but me. If I can keep at this, I know I can make the change that I need to make. Ugg, why does being responsible suck so much. Stupid adulthood.
