I have been extremely errant in my blogging. So much so that I'm not even going to bother looking to see when my last post was. It's enough to know that it was quite some time ago.
Since that time, I have been at my 'new' full-time job for almost six months, Lovie has gained a 'promotion' at work that involves a lot of new training, and we've moved into our 1st apartment! And of course, still going to the gym on a regular (semi-regular for me) basis.
It's been a lot. I realize that this is just what 'being an adult' entails, but that doesn't mean there is no adjusting involved. There are a lot of nights where we only get an hour or so to 'chill' after dinner, before it's time to go to bed and start all over again. And as much as I love cooking, dinner often consists of chicken (I've recently started baking it as it is a lot less work, and Lovie likes it), some sort of steamed vegetable (usually broccoli), and rice. Full disclosure: I often cheat with the steamed veggies and rice, buying the microwavable packets from the store for both. Don't judge me.
If we're feeling fancy I'll break out the chicken fettucini alfredo that has become a staple in our house.
Ah! 'Our House'! And it's just us!
I digress.
In any case, it has not been a gastric adventure in any sense of the imagination. Just us getting by, and doing our best to not eat too much pizza. Even though it's awfully tempting a lot of nights.
Hopefully I'll be doing some fun stuff this weekend, although not anything necessarily new. I'm planning on surprising Lovie with his favorite enchiladas tonight. I call them his favorite, but in all truthfulness, they're the only ones I've ever made for him. But he seems to like them. And I didn't hear 3 months later that he was just trying to be nice about it, like my Thai Peanut Sauce... Brat.
I'm also going to try and get the ingredients for Pumpkin Cookies with Caramel Frosting. Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how quickly I get my hiney off the couch.
The cookies also really depend on much I get done around the apartment, too. Since we moved a few weeks ago, all unpacking momentum has been lost, and there is still a pile of boxes and random crap in the space that would have a dining table if we could afford it... So while cookies would be nice, my main goal is going to be to find as much of that random stuff a home as possible.
In any case, I hope you all have a splendid weekend. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a cool front to move in. I want to be wearing sweaters by October.
Until next time,
Enchiladas and 'Where'd-this-come-from?'
