monkeymom's Diaryland Diary

In which I have contracted a virus.
This is my weekend to work, so I got home at 7 this morning and went to bed, instead of going to church. Rich was downstairs having lunch, and he headed upstairs to have a nap after he ate.
While Rich was sleeping I went looking through the kitchen cupboards. There is a really deep pantry in the kitchen, where things get shoved to the back and are lost or forgotten, but I needed to find the bulgar for a recipe. I have a vague memory of bulgar being in a container at the bottom of the pantry, where I put largish boxes and big Tupperware containers of things that were bought in bulk.
I found the bulgar, and lots of other things, too, like a large quantity of lentils, and some powdered sugar, but everything was covered with a layer of floury stuff. I cleaned the powder off of the containers, but there was quite a bit of it on the floor, too, so I had to vacuum it out of the cupboard. Ugh.
I got most of it myself and then when Rich woke up he vacuumed it out way at the back where I couldn't reach, and he put everything away again. I hope he kept the bulgar near the front, so I don't have to excavate it again.
I had some chicken breasts that I baked yesterday when I didn't feel like making dinner, but they needed to be either used or put in the freezer, so it was easiest to just bake them in the oven for 30 minutes at 350. Rich ate a couple of them yesterday, and I used the rest and the bulgar to make a recipe from the South Beach Diet book, and it was really good. It was like tabbouli, with chunks of chicken. I didn't have a cucumber, but since I am the queen of substitution, I used a zuchini. I had some tomatoes from a friend's garden to use, too. So yay, I made dinner!
Then I got Rich to sit and watch a couple of episodes of The Big Bang Theory with me, because I love that show, and he likes it too, in spite of the lack of supernatural Nazis or boring history. AFter that I went to bed, and he ran some cleaning-type software on my laptop, because it was acting virus-y. He says Sarah must have been looking at porn last week when she used it.
