The husband's away!

He's off to snow adventures and I'm left to my own devices!  I feel eerily content.  Except for some errands, I've stayed home for much of it.  No weird single behavior here!

I've been in the kitchen in between Netflix movies to keep sane.  I made chicken stock from scratch and proceeded to made chicken noodle soup with the leftover chicken.  Then I made my own barbecue sauce from scratch for dinner tomorrow.  Ever have that feeling where things just taste better when you spend the time making it from scratch?  I'm having that toasty feeling now. 

I replaced my coarse salt box.  We've had the ugly blue Morton's box out in the open for the past year.  It was taking up too much counter space.  So I put some in one of OXO vacuum containers at first.

I knew it wouldn't last for long because I would find this at Ross.  It's a $2 sugar jar and looks way better than the OXO box container.  And if it weren't obvious before, I have a soft spot for cute ceramics/glassware.

  

Oh, I also tried a lemon glazed vegan donut yesterday. It was good, but expensive. 

Like 4x more expensive than a donut from 7-11.
