Sunday rolls around, and I got up with the boys and started their day. Did I mention that right now my husband is working crazy hours, so 2/3 of the day, 7 days a week, I am by myself with the kids. I am not complaining, it's just a lot.
So I did not get to chopping and prep until after 5pm. So I went to OAMM and found the instructions, which told me to go to the recipe cards to find the chopping amounts. It was highly recommended that I do this first, so not knowing better, that is what I did.
In short, I had to chop 10 onions, and quarter about 6 more, chop green onions, peppers, carrots, celery, garlic, fresh ginger,cilantro, and parsley. Plus I sliced tomatoes, zucchini, and yellow squash. This took me about 3 to 4 hours. I will admit that I chop veggies in front of the tv, plus I took a meal break.
I continue my prep the next day. Following the instructions, I browned half the ground beef, all the ground turkey, all of the breakfast sausage, and slow-cooked half of the chicken. I also had to soak 5 cups of oatmeal in 5 cups of buttermilk.
By this point, it is VERY hot in my house. The thermostat said 80 degrees. I started to feel sick, plus I had to teach a class later, so I stop. My prep is pretty much done anyway, the cooking starts next.
I know this post was pretty borring, but so was the prep work. Next time, I intend to drink heavily first....
And completely unrelated to this post, because inquiring minds truly do want to know...
