I'm trying to use up the food we already have to cut down on what we move. We have lots of taco shells and seasoning packets but no ground meat, so I tried out using chicken breasts. It was great! The chicken wasn't thawed, so I put it in a big saucepan with a can of tomatoes and a packet of seasoning. It simmered for a few hours and pulled apart nicely. Added a can of beans, topped with grated bits of chunk cheese & celebrated quietly when all the boys ate it.
Skin Care
A couple of weeks ago I tried getting my legs waxed and was instructed to exfoliate so the hairs don't become ingrown. I have no idea when I last exfoliated anything. I was going to go buy something, but then checked online for an exfoliating mixture using household items. I concocted my own using stuff in the cupboard and it worked very nicely: kosher salt + olive oil + tea tree essential oil. I put my legs in the tub for this project so I wouldn't drip stuff anywhere else. That worked fine except that when I showered the floor was pretty slippery.
Packing
Packing is not nearly as time consuming for me as sorting. Today I went through several of my desk drawers and found: lots of photos, a book of temporary tattoos, stickers, and a $20 gift card for Target. That gift card bit is a little embarrassing. It was given to us when Owen was born. He's 3! I think it arrived around the time we moved to Milwaukee and you know, life's been complicated.
I will be a little ad for Target gift cards, though. I spent the card this afternoon (on medicine for ear-infected Jude!) and it had lost no value. Apparently there is no expiration date or fee. Nice.
