Time to make a big pot of ham and bean soup to freeze to eat when the new baby comes.
Chopping lots of veggies...getting stuff done. Husband is home for lunch. Few minutes of adult conversation right in the middle of the day. All is well!
Oh no! There's the toddler crying. He woke up from his nap way too soon!
Fortunately, Daddy's home. He can feed him some lunch...
Nope. Daddy's busy with work stuff. Maybe lunch can wait...
You're hungry right now?
My hands are covered with raw onions, and I still have two more to chop. Well, kid, looks like you're having onions for lunch.
Oh? You like raw onions? Weird...but great! Have some more!
And here are some nice yummy chunks of ham to go with those onions.
Putting all the veggies, ham, and seasoning in the pot with the beans...
So quadrupling the recipe seemed like a good idea...until I realize my pot is not actually four times the size of my normal pot. Maybe if I leave out some broth and pray that it doesn't boil over, especially since I just spent twenty minutes cleaning the stovetop last night.
Spilled onions, chili powder, parsley, and carrots. So much for the clean stovetop...
You're still hungry? Here, have a leftover roll to go with your ham and onions.
Why is there broth all over the one shelf of the refrigerator that doesn't come out? Time to clean out the fridge...
Son, why are you sucking on the nozzle of a bottle of shower cleaner? You have to stay out of that cabinet!
Closing the bathroom door...
I'll start on the fridge by throwing out this old shredded pork that was in the fridge. Oh no! The trash can is overflowing and shredded pork spilled all over the floor!
No! Don't take that bad pork out of the trash and eat it! Stay away from the trash!
Taking the trash out...
Washing the dirty prep bowls and knives...
Why is your shirt all wet? Drink your water...don't use it to blow raspberries and drip down your front! Are you done drinking? Just put your water bottle on the counter. You don't need to throw it...
Soup on the stove. Dishes washed and drying. Floors and counters reasonably clean. Fridge shelf emptied and wiped down. And toddler did not consume any cleaning supplies or rotten meat (although he does have really bad breath!)
Time for cake.
