Domestic Goddess

Yes, that was me today. I left the house at 9 and spent nearly two and a half hours grocery shopping. I had a coupon to get £3 off if I spent more than £25 at Tesco and I was determined to use it. I hadn't been shopping in two weeks, so it just meant that I had to get everything on m list, no skimping. It worked, but barely, seeing as I nearly fell over carrying the whole load home. It's amazing how much stuff I can shove into my skating bag. :)
After putting away the groceries (and realizing I'd forgotten to buy the vinegar for Chicken Adoboe that I specifically bought chicken for - duh oh!) I set to work on my pants. I managed to get the hem ironed in, and then took it downstairs to watch "ER" while sewing, where I finished off the first leg. Honestly it is so much easier to hem with (a) a comfy couch (b) good lighting (c) something mundane playing in the background.
I hit China Town and bought the soy sauce for my adoboe after that and then came home and finished off the other leg while watching the news. Now I'm going to make either chili or pasta sauce, so I can get rid of some old veggies that have been in my fridge far too long.
Am I a domestic stud or what??

Chili Notes

Note 1: I make pretty fine kitchen-sink chili (ie everything in it but the kitchen sink).

Note 2: When the original guidelines call for 1/2 a chili pepper, and you are halving the recipe, adding a whole chili pepper means your chili will have serious kick. This is not a bad thing, just FYI.

Note 3: It's still pretty fine chili though, and I'll bet it'll taste even better tomorrow.
