I wrote a few posts and they got lost…. ughh…. at least one of them was cross posted…
The kids are making me go crazy today… they are in a such a weird mood and are just at eachother and I really don’t have the patience today…
grumble grumble grumble…
It was Isabelle’s wedding shower last Sat night…. I haven’t went out like that is so long and it has really hit me over the last few days….
I knew I was going to be out late and I knew that would not want to drive home alone so I asked Simon to come with me into Montreal (he went to see our friend Martine with the kids)
I got to the house a bit early and met a few other people there… I didn’t know anyone yet I was not shy at all.. She got there a bit after 4:30pm..We surprised her, snacked and the girls started drinking Sangria…
We dressed up the guest of honour Disco Style and really cheesy… (she is very natural so it was really funny)
Then we went out to a mexican retaurant in downtown Montreal and put a sign on her (Future Bride, 1$= a kiss) and sent her around the restaurant and then down on Ste-Catherine street (Montreal’s main street downtown) to give kisses for a dollar.. (she actually gathered about 50$)…
By this time my body was starting to slow down a bit from all of the walking and of course the next thing planned was dancing..
So, we went dancing at the Funkytown… (a popular Disco bar)…. I went up and danced a few times and each time I got tired more quickly…
After dancing and hanging out for about 2 hours we decided to change scenery.. completely… so we walked around on Ste-Catherine again a bit and then went to the 281 (a male stripper club)… it was actually my first time there…
So we sat and watched and laughed and before we knew it we closed the club at 3am…
Sunday was a blur….and I am still tired and sore…
but I would do it all over again 🙂
Well, I have been doing meal plans every week for a few months now… well I missed a few weeks here and there but other then those it is doing really well..
However, when I go grocery shopping and I see something on special (meat most of the time) it has become easy to pick it up and stick it in the freezer… However, sometimes it gets lost of forgotten in the next week’s meal plan and then just stays in the freezer…
Well, I decided that it is time to something… cook it all up before I lose it to freezer burn, make meals out of it all, portion it and freeze the portions… So I am on the journey of feeding my freezer… One of the great advantages to this is for when the new babe arrives… Since I am the only “cook” in the house.. (Simon can manage a few small things) This will be a very useful thing…
Last night I made beef and bean burritos with a homemade enchilada sauce…. Instead of only making enough for the night’s meal and a bit of leftovers I cooked up all the meat I had, used all of the beans and made 10 burritos… cooked up 4, used half of the enchilada sauce and froze the rest using a Ziploc for the rest of the sauce…
Today I am cooking a big pot of spaghetti sauce and I will freeze it into meal size portions in Ziploc bags also.. and I am slow cooking some meat I had in the freezer with spices and will make more burritos out of that too since not only do we like burritos but they are easy for Simon to bring to wok for lunch…
I am thinking about every few days making a big meal and feeding the freezer each time…
This is a cool site that seems to be gaining popularity…

it’s additcive 😉
Well the e-mail list that I joined proved to be a very good idea… I got two responses with places to buy tinctures. One on the island of Montreal but they don’t seem to have many ready made tictures but more bulk herbs and supplies and one off island in my direction but about 1 1/2-2 hours away from me.
The second one looks amazing though and I will be able to order online or go for a drive and really look…. the place looks so nice and from the site you can even see pics of their gardens… they have tons of tinctures and even home mixes all ready made.
