More Food I Guess

brigidWe need to clear out the fridge of all leftovers remnants and then plan what I'm going to cook for regular ass meals this upcoming month.
I don't think we're going to do anything fancy for Christmas. We often do charcuterie for Christmas and for New Year's. Crackers, cheeses, meats, nuts, fruits, fizzy beverages.
But I'll probably do lasagna again (this time using no-boil noodles and making two half pans); macaroni and cheese; baked beans; pulled chicken or pork; split pea soup; chicken soup. Sweet potatoes are easy as heck to slap in a crock pot and cook to perfection so I'm going to start doing that ore, too. I might do black beans and kielbasa, that's pretty easy and fast. The issue, of course, continues to be finding foods that everyone is willing to try and that isn't too labor intensive.
I might pick up a bread machine. I had one previously but I'm extremely irrationally weird about certain things and I could not cope with one aspect of the machine. Basically the mixing/kneading paddle left an impression along the length of the bottom of the loaf that made loaves look like they had legs and I just... it freaked me out. The bread!!! Had legs!!!!!
Could not cope.
I'm pretty sure that if you put that in a book people wouldn't believe it, would possibly find it offensive or something. And yet. AND YET.
In other news, there's new JoJo and I cannot believe how much this show/book has taken over my life due to pals peer pressuring/bullying me into watching it with my kid.
