Since he'll be gone this time for a month, I'm desperate to avoid being bored for an entire month.
Last time he left, I developed feelings for the Netflix and Amazon Prime accounts, so I'm trying something a little different this time with more productive outcomes. Probably.
As everyone is aware, TASTY produces very consumable and "likable" recipe gifs. I'm addicted. I have saved a ton of them from Facebook and decided to do a sort of lazy Julia Childs Challenge and cook my way through all my saved TASTY video recipes while he's gone.
**WARNING: This challenge I have given myself is heavily accompanied by a mild workout regimen consisting of sometimes running if it's not too hot or humid outside and my own swim workouts at the pool as well as a healthy helping of working with groups of children three times a week. I recommend doing at least this much physical activity or, better yet, more than I am currently doing, in order to not have this become a month of completely slumming it. Just FYI, if you were feeling similarly inspired.**
The Current List In No Particular Order:
- Cornflake Chicken Nuggets
- Almond Meringue Peaches
- Bloomin' Onion (classic)
- Spatchcock Grilled Chicken
- Cream Cheese Banana Bread Muffins
- French Onion Soup
- Pecan Pie Cheesecake
- Poached Shrimp and Orzo
- Mojito Marinated Chicken
- Spicy Tomato Coconut Chicken
- Wings (I can't call them "Buffalo" Wings because he thinks "Buffalo" is a boring flavor)
- Stuffed Steak Rolls
- Beef Dumplings
- Creme Brulee
- Pork Cutlet Sliders
- Old Fashioned Donuts
- Creamy Lemon Butter Chicken
So this should be fun. I'll at least feel justified for saving all these videos on Facebook. And, hopefully, this will occupy some mindspace that is normally just taken over with moping when he's gone.
What do you guys do to stay sane when yours is gone?
