Less Stress Friday & Cooking

 The workout this morning was cancelled.  One girl bailed because of a late date last night and I cancelled on the other due to me having to snow blow this morning.  I was also apprehensive with slick roads.  But even with the extra time, I wasted a lot of it looking at TikToks and crying over some.

I got a project done for work that I've been sweating over for a long while.  I think it's going to work great!  The test is in the pudding.  Or rather in a file that should be delivered within the next couple hours.

The D&D game tonight is most likely postponed until tomorrow night for the kids.  I'll be making a whole mass of chili and bread bowls for it.  I hope it all turns out ok!

I pulled about 10 pounds of chicken drum sticks (99cents per pound from Sam's Club) out of the garage fridge yesterday, intending them for supper, but since it's been so cold they were frozen...  ugg.  

So I threw them into two Instant Pots for 3 minutes.  It defrosted them perfectly and starting cooking them a bit.  Then I put them on a big pan, sprinkled with salt and baked for 45 minutes.  

We ate some for supper and the rest I used my seal-a-meal device to suck all the air out and freeze them.  5 per bag.  Leon loves these and they cook straight from frozen in the air fryer for 12 minutes easy.

I also divided up a 10 pound tube of hamburger, also from Sam's Club into 1 and two pound packs, sealing and freezing them up too.  My deep freezer is well stocked now!

I saw a sale on bone in ham (non-sliced) at Aldi and I grabbed it for Easter.  The spiral sliced is okay...  but doesn't can well.  Still on the lookout for a sale of Corned Beef slabs.  Those can up SO good!!!  A can of corned beef hash that I made last year was SO delicious!  I can't wait to do that again.

I've got an Instant Pot working on some bone broth this morning from a "miracle chicken" carcass purchased at Sam's Club for $5.  We're getting our money's worth out of that one!

Ok, back to worky work
.  A meeting was cancelled for this afternoon and while they're really dragging their feet on this project, all I can say is WOOHOO!!!  Less Stress Friday!!!
