March 2014

Hey!  Look at us getting a month posted when we actually made the menu! We're starting to finally find some time (as we're watching it snow us in again) to get some more things caught up on the blog.

Let's see ...Tim is busy finishing up the debate season (only 2 (very busy) weekends left!) and Paul is putting in plenty of overtime getting his lessons finished for the week.  Looks like he's finally caught up to a spot where he can begin using things from last year, so hopefully that will start making things a bit easier for him.  Tim's school is hosting state competition for debate this month, so that means we're hosting the hospitality room.  You should totally come judge & we'll feed you!

This month, we are in DESPERATE need to clean out the freezer and pantry, so that's what we're doing.  Not trying anything new this month; instead, we're really pulling out some old favorites and trying to make a dent in the deep freeze (so Tim can fill it right back up).  Actually, that's a lie.  We're going to attempt roast.  Tim hates roast - seriously hates it.  It's a texture thing with soggy carrots and just, well, it's grossing him out just typing this.  This should be interesting.  If you have any helpful suggestions on how it can not be so gross, or a great recipe you think we should use, feel free to comment below!

This is also a heavy theatre month for us, so we've got quite a few dinners out and about, open nights to catch up on missed meals, and so much to do!  Thank goodness both of us have spring break this month (at different times) so we can possibly get things done without the other one here to distract or delay (Tim's really good at this ... the procrastination/distraction part, not so much the getting things done part).

It looks like we're having a lot of recipes this month that we enjoy but haven't included on the blog yet.  Perhaps during that spring break time we might be able to get some of them posted.  But, then we go back to the procrastination part ...
