Chicken stock is in jars in the fridge (3/4 gal), beef stock is now in the crockpot. Chile sauce is made, and dishwasher is going.

Dinner was red chile chicken over sauteed brussel sprouts and green beans.
Red Chile Chicken
3 guajilla chiles
3 ancho chiles
4 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp ground cumin
salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste
2 lb shredded chicken
Soak the chiles in boiling hot water until plumped up and no longer dehydrated, approx 20-40 min. Pull the chiles out and remove the stems, reserving the soaking water. Puree all the ingredients except the chicken together in a blender with a couple cups of the soaking water. Taste and adjust seasoning. Heat oil in a pan. Add the chicken and sautee until hot, then add the chile sauce. Cook on medium for 10 minutes or so, until sauce is thickened. If desired, add 1 tsp honey to balance the sauce if overly bitter. Serve as tacos, or over veggies.

My apartment is not dirty enough to really clean. I'm putting away some sweaters this evening, might vacuum a couple of the rugs, but that's all that's really needed unless I went all out and started dusting and wiping down surfaces. I usually only do that before parties or if something gets really scuzzy. Sometimes I wish I had more things to clean.

Come to my house.

I AM EMPLOYED!!! It's with the local firm, and a higher pay than I've made to date.

Ah! I found the good news in your journal too! I hope it's a good job!

I don't need to do much, but it's enough that I can't just ignore it. Laundry mountain needs to become a laundry hamper again. I need to run the dishwasher and clean out the disposal. Take the trash out. Clean the master bath (including the unused shower). Sweep/ mop/ vacuum. Change sheets and wash sofa covers. Put away my shoes and pick up both living rooms.

Lordy, lordy, that sounds like 'much' to me!

Come to my house.

I am the one that organizes cleaning efforts at my parents house hehe. If were to ever visit, I'd do a really good tidying & closet purge session for you in exchange for food and a bed

In that case, come to my house as well. I've noticed my house has a distinct lack of people with colorful hair.

[namelesswonder]

Is one enough to fill that quota? My hair is several shades of pink and now purple, so perhaps
