Cleaned out the refrigerator

Last night we cleaned some of the lingering items out of the refrigerator. This morning I packed a lunch that includes this wacky assortment:
1 can Barq’s Root Beer
1 jar of the homemade white bean dip
1 plastic bag of pretzel chips, everything flavor
1 container of leftover wheatberry salad
1 container of mini carrots
A knife and a fork

Who wants to guess how soon I’ll be hungry after lunch? Hopefully the bean dip will be filling enough to tie me over to dinner. The better-half and I are going out after class.

Speaking of class, I certainly hope I don’t have bad thoughts about my professor like I did last week. She asked me to talk about specific portions of my school blog and then she proceeded to talk over me the entire time. If she wanted to co-train, she should have said something. Instead my frustration level peaked at 10–it’s not like it took much to pump that level up last week.

Last night I put the jars of pickled jalapeno in our cabinet and I thought to myself that I didn’t even try the finished product before I processed them in a hot water bath. I hope they’ll taste good when we open them later this year.

I have tons of habanero and anaheim peppers already picked and, frankly, the peppers don’t seem to be letting up yet. I know we’ll make some more habanero oil but as far as what to do with the other massive quanitites of peppers, I’m not sure. I think we’ll have to figure out the dehydrator function on the oven and dry some. It’s not like there’s a big audience for hot peppers like there is for squash or tomatoes. You can’t just take a basket of peppers into the office and expect people to snatch them up.
