Lisa, no the house is not on the market yet. Sigh. I have one room that needed a lot of TLC before I felt I could list the house. (It's the third bedroom/office and it had awful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle wallpaper when we bought the house, and I wanted to redo it back then, but DH was too anxious to get his books unpacked and installed on shelves from floor to ceiling, so then it was always a major deal when I'd mention removing the wallpaper.) Sooooo, now I felt I really had to get it down. Wednesdays are my day off work, so I spent today scraping the backing from the wallpaper off two of the walls. (DS and I got all the vinyl top layer off when he was home this weekend).
And DH really likes his new job -- he says the people are wonderful and the tasks he's been given are interesting.
Anyway, back to the real topic, dinner tonight was homemade Hot and Sour Soup. Very soothing and warm after my day of battle with Ninja Turtles!
Made center cut pork chops in the turbo cooker tonight. Just put some bread crumbs for flavor and a little oil. They come out so tender. Hormel does have good pork chops.
Cut the tops off peppers and stuffed with chopped up peppers & tomato mixed with bread crumbs & a little oil. Poured some tomato sauce over them and cooked covered in the microwave for about fifteen min. Didn't have time to put in the oven but they turned out pretty good cooked this way. Was surprised Mom ate the whole pepper. Next time will use rice in the mix. Also made sliced mushrooms & leftover stringbeans.
