Phase two or three, Clean-up

Apparently I leave cupboard doors open when I work, either this doesn't bug me any more like it used to or I overlook it in the throws of cooking a lot.

Well, I feel like I've accomplished a lot. I cut up a bunch of onion, a most dreaded job for me, as I cry like a baby. I tried several techniques today, like freezing the onions first, and dragging the knife through instead of cutting straight up and down. I've also been told making the first few cuts under cold water or not talking while cutting the onions help. I did not find any of these to be very effective for myself. Probably my favorite is under the cold water, but once I move back to the cutting board I'm done. So cutting a lot at once, while my eyes are still burning now, will prevent my eyes from burning every night.

I think that's what I got done today. Oh I also reviewed my recipe box, typed up some practically illegible recipes and will jot down a few ideas to keep me going over the next few months. I'll try to balance updating here and at redwingeatshealthy.wetpaint.com too.

For tonight I'm making a quick chicken parmesan variation. I guess I better go get the kid from day care or finish cleaning, or cut up a few veggies to have as fresh snacks.

Aren't brown eggs gorgeous!?

Are ancient, I'm sure it's original from the house c. 1950, I'll have to ask the original owner sometime. The oven is atrocious, the top element doesn't work, though I've learned to cook around that. What will I ever do when we get a new stove? One month Brad asked about a spike in our electric bill I wondered if it was from one of these cooking marathons?
