He's 14?

I cannot afford teenagers with all their growing. It is ridiculous.

That sounds amazing, Kat, what all did you make?

I froze my chicken stock. It came out really well. I want to do the fish stock tomorrow, but the house probably shouldn't stink of fish when the bank inspector people come over.

I didn't finish the office today, but I got it down to a point where if the lady called to say she was on her way over, I could shove everything left into the remaining empty bins. I am somewhat dubious of the amount of work it will take to go through everything properly, but if I were able to do it, I could start the school year clean.

How old and how tall is he now, Hec?

He turns 16 in September. He's already six feet tall. Maybe a little more.

What I made:

Each batch has 4-6 servings.

3 batches of cajun chicken (will be grilled or baked)
1 batch of jumbalaya (to be baked)
2 batches of garlic and parsley chicken, with breadcrumbs (to be sauteed)
1 batch of honey lime chicken (to be baked or grilled)
2 batches of parmesan crusted chicken (to be baked or grilled)
2 batches of herb crusted pork chops (to be baked or grilled)
3 trays of black bean and beef tortilla casserole with bonus hatch chiles from the freezer (to be baked). Each tray is probably 2 meals.
1 batch of herb crusted flank steak, to be grilled tomorrow.

Wow! That's awesome. That's a lot of work.

I do not even know how you prep all that. Now I feel all lazy that I didn't manage to bake one batch of muffins.

I am... not doing too great with the uncertainty of the Isaac's projected path and the conflicting advice on staying or going. I'm actually incredibly tense and also scared. People are now saying to start evacuating tomorrow... I'm nervous about being able to get out of here if we decide to... I would prefer to stay but I know Tom wants to evacuate... and, in conclusion, ugh.

I can't wrap my head around that, Kat.

Who advises not to evacuate, Nora?

That's amazing, Kat. I don't cook that much meat in a year.

Nora, aren't they recommending evacuation in low lying areas?

Look what I missed by not working this weekend! [link] I don't know if this was for a movie or a TV show. Chicago Fire and some Bollywood movie have both been filming in the loop recently.
