The topic: Today will be a kitchen day

----------------------------------------------

I think I’ll need to put the pads down on the floor (you know, the spongy kind that help the back from hurting).

We went to CostCo last night and got hamburger and a round roast.  I need to split the hamburger into 12 oz chubs for freezing and since it’s been months since CostCo has had round steak, which I use a lot, I’m going to split up the roast into steaks and package individually.

Last week, I got ingredients for a carrot cake (carrots, pecans, cream cheese) and I think I’ll make one of those.  Maybe two, using the 12 x 12 cake pans and give a couple away.  I love to bake.

And I need to make more hot fudge for ice cream.  I found a recipe online using chocolate chips (2 cups), a 12 oz can of evaporated milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tbsp butter.  Melt the first three ingredients in a pot, stirring frequently, when it reaches a boil, mix in the vanilla and butter, stir until smooth, the cool down for use.  It will keep in the refrigerator for up to four weeks (not here, my first batch lasted a little over a week).  It was surprisingly good, much better than the store bought kind.

And we’ll have Swiss steak with mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner.

Like I said, I think it will be a kitchen day. 

yippee
