Saturday, I started Chicken stock in my slow cooker with a bag of bones from my apartment sized freezer – added water, peppercorns and bay leaves. Put up today in freezer, with clean, saved Salsa jars and labels I printed. Then washed and repeated Sunday with Beef and Pork Rib Bones. Today, Monday, I put up the Beef/Pork Stock with plans to make Vegetable Stock tomorrow. Its nearly free and I know what’s in it.
My neighbor/adopted Grand Daughter/Rescue Dog Owner/Elementary School Teacher stopped by (dragged by treat conditioned dog) today and I knew she was late, on a Cary Concert Singer Rehearsal night. She was late due to a Mom being late picking up a child. So she waited.
And I told her about my channeling “Martha Stewart”, including replacing Air Fresheners and Soap Dispensers and how my Father would have been aghast. And she grinned and said, “Somebody has to do it.” And I said, yep, usually a Woman.
It is liberating to escape societal preconceptions and just get stuff done that needs doing. Which is why Submariners understand doing Laundry and cleaning Heads and Cooking, while submerged for months. Mama ain’t there.
