A couple of people here are dressed up, and we got to go through the Haunted Office, which was fun. (And impressive! And just someone's office.) And also got a flu shot (SCARY!) and watched a movie with my coworkers.
I would like to understand why no one has told be about Take 5 bars before. They are amazing!
How do you guys freeze large volumes of soup? I use 1-2 portion sized tupperware (that came to 4 with this recipe) and freeze 2/3 of it immediately, and keep 1/3 in one container in the fridge to eat in the short term.
About like that. I can never figure out how to do it in ziplocks, mostly because it's usually in my Le Crueset, and that's too heavy to pour out of one-handed, so the container needs to stand on its own.
Apparently Neko Case is doing a live Tiny Desk Concert on NPR right now, but it won't load for me. Boo. [link]
I've been loving the freezable Bell jars for freezing stock or leftover soup. I have a bunch of quart sized ones.
I wore my Jedi robe & was an office Jedi ("these are not the TPS reports you're looking for".) Best costume was my coworker who dressed as a kidney which is thematically appropriate to our project (developing a system to measure the quality of End Stage Renal Disease facilities).
mostly because it's usually in my Le Crueset, and that's too heavy to pour out of one-handed, so the container needs to stand on its own.
I either ladle with a proper ladle, or scoop soup with a spouted container.
Which reminds me, I am totally out of vegetable broth. Maybe I'll do that this weekend...or maybe I'm souped out.
I don't have a ladle! I do have one waiting for me at my new apartment, which I keep meaning to bring back to my current apartment, but whatever. Sometimes I use the cup measure, but it's so much more fiddly than pouring.
Tale 5 bars are pretty good, yes.
I'm going out tonight as Rosie the Riveter but first I want a nap.
There is some dressing up at the store today (within limitations). I had to go in this morning briefly and there was a guy dressed as one of the Assasian's Creed characters (sans sword), Fiona from Adventure Time, Captain Hammer, and one of the guys I work with regularly said he was going to wear his fencing gear, but when I left he was in regular clothes. (although I'm not really sure if that counts as a costume since he actually fences). And someone was the Crow. Supposedly there were a few other people going to dress up.
I'm going in later to take posession of a beta fish (someone's moving, I volunteered to take it home with me) and check out the other costumes.
I am most pleased with my grumpy pumpkin. I'll need to be sure to get a picture of it when it's lit up.
About like that. I can never figure out how to do it in ziplocks, mostly because it's usually in my Le Crueset, and that's too heavy to pour out of one-handed, so the container needs to stand on its own.
Place the ziploc in a coffee cup or measuring cup.
