Hung a load of laundry on my new clothesline -- yay for my hubby for doing that for me!
Cooked up a huge package of ground beef. Half went into the crockpot with sauce for tomorrow night's spaghetti dinner and half went in the freezer for a future meal. (large family, so we do eat this much in 1 meal -- plus, kids get psyched when there is actual meat in the spaghetti sauce! haha! Typically it is just veggies)
Didn't put on the air conditioner even though I was sorely tempted. Its really hot here today.
Drinking lots of water to keep cool. Later this afternoon when company comes, I will make homemade slurpees in the vitamix. They are actually a reasonable facsimile, and cost a dime for the koolaid packet at Winco and whatever a half a cup of sugar costs.
Here's the recipe: 1 packet of unsweetened koolaid (adults love the lemonade flavour-- not so fake tasting -- would be good with the addition of alcohol, just saying!), 1/2 cup of white sugar, 2 cups cold water, 2 1/2 cups of ice. Served with a straw, it really seems like a slurpee and didn't cost me a dollar per kid. Adults and kids alike are always super impressed with these and I feel like its a little way to introduce spendthrifts to the joys of mustachianism on a very small scale.
