Messy, messy

Lasagna.

Ceasar Salad.

Goulash.

All of these dishes have something in common with our life right now...filling, a jumble of ingredients, and really really messy. Kind of like the below picture.


(We've cleaned most of that off...seriously, things are dire right now.)

So, what's keeping us busy? Another house. Well, thankfully we're not planning on moving into it, just renting it out. The house out front of ours was for sale when we bought ours, but he took it off the market for a while and then put it back up. We're in our option period and trying to get estimates on some fixes...but it's taking a lot of work to arrange everything and I really look forward to it being done.

I've done quite a lot of cooking lately, which new and old recipes...the goal here is budget meals. I'm focusing more on fresh ingredients (nothing from a can except maybe broth) and good meat. The house thing has put my German hobby on hold a bit, since unfortunately this means we won't be able to go to Germany this year. Sigh. I'll get back on track in a few weeks, I'm sure. I did make a mean Wienerschnitzel last night...

Tschüß!
