Cooking Day Part 3
We were able to accomplish alot of things. The pancakes and breads will have to wait til Friday. I'll have some free time then. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
Cooking Day Part 2
We have the syrup and the jello are cooling, the potatoes are in the microwave (for the bread), and we are preparing apples for applesauce.
I'm pleased with the progress we've made so far, and I'm hopeful that we will be able to cross everything off the list.

Cooking Day
My sister is staying here til tomorrow. We decided to do some cooking yesterday. We made banana bread, turkey, gravy, and lo mein. Today we are going to make sandwich bread, sweet potatoe bread, jello, pancakes, and syrup.
We ate one of the loaves of bread for breakfast, the other two are going to my brother's house for Thanksgiving. The turkey is already deboned and in the freezer, ready to be used in future meals. The gravy is going to be used on mashed potatoes this week. The lo mein was just a bribe for my sister so she would help me in the kitchen. The gravy was a spur of the moment decision. I made it on a whim. For a while we didn't think it would turn out, but eventually we got it to decent levels.
The sandwich bread is going to be used for sandwiches we have through out the week. The sweet potatoe breadis something we just wanted to try. We make jello because it is amazing. We are making up an entire box of pancakes mix. We will cook them and divide the pancakes into individual meals sized portions, then we will freeze them for later use. We will be making the syrup from fruit juice, it's an experiment, and hopefully it will be a good one.
That is are plan so far.

Cooking Day
I purchased about 35 pounds of chicken last night at Kroger. I figured today I would take some time to cook it up and assemble some meals to freeze. Kroger has the 10 lb bag of chicken quarters on sale for $5.90. The Tyson boneless chicken breast is on sale for $1.79 lb. I purchased 3 bags of leg quarters and 4 packs of boneless chicken. That combined with the turkey I already have in the freezer should serve us well.
