Standing Room only.

Things are still going great living over at the in-laws. I try to cook dinner three times a week (at the least) with the schedule that I have right now. I am working a little side job that takes up my evenings 2-3 times a week
.
(Need a really great Insurance Agent?? I know a great one here... He also happens to be the fella I am working for! Click the link and you can see who it is!)
.
Anyway I plan on cranking out more meals here when my side job ends. Cooking the meals takes place in the teeny tiny kitchen. We keep joking about how it is a one man kitchen. Anytime someone is preparing a meal, one of us other non-meal-preparers will try to go in to help and end up just standing there awkwardly because there is really only room for one person.
.
Darrol and I are often preparing breakfast at the same time in the mornings and there is a lot of "oops, 'scuse me", or "Just gonna sneak in there for a sec", or "oh I just gotta grab that one thing". I feel like that sequence needs to be in a sitcom or something!

99.9 % of the meals that I have been making have been cranked out of this bad boy of Teri's.

Tonight is sweet and sour pork steaks! I also never knew that you could make your own sweet and sour sauce. It is so easy and all the ingredients are things that I have in my pantry normally. I used to always buy bottled sweet and sour sauce which was kind of a pain and I hate buying a specialized thing I only use in a certain circumstance. Plus it tastes amazing! I love it when I learn something new!

Everything tastes better made from scratch, is my view. I like to make my own sweet and sour sauce too. That is a tiny kitchen! Sounds like you are working hard and cooking good food!
