Pshaw. Radish chips and vinaigrette is a slow day. You guys have to remember, I don't have a (paying) job except for maybe 5 hours a month of voicework. The kids are at school for 7 hours every day. That's when I cook. The other morning I made 4 pounds of lamb meatballs*, a batch of barbecue sauce, a batch of cranberry sauce, 4 pounds of boiled onion quarters, a dozen muffins, and roasted 3 pounds of veggies for smoothies**. All before lunch. I have a double oven and four burners on the stove, it's not as hard as it sounds.

*this happens about every 10 days, which is why you see 4 more pounds of ground lamb in my picture.
**this happens every day, it takes almost no time at all.

Yes, I love the salad tubs! The arugula I bought is the standard "small" tub, and the large tubs at our store are twice as big for the same price. (Except they don't have arugula in that size, only spinach and various mixed greens.) We always end up throwing away part of the big tubs too, but how can you not buy them, when you get 100% more for free?

I assume you already had bread at home, right? Or do you eat the lunchmeat and cheese in some other configuration?


Tony, your single egg on the shelf makes me cringe with danger. How can it not fall?
