But not now. I’m making dinner and always clean as I go. Not so with this recipe. I’m all over the place and my Saturday night martini isn’t helping. I had so many things cooking at once! Now that it’s in the oven, I have time to load the dishwasher, scrub by hand, and clean all of the counters and range top. What a mess I created! Hubs will clean up the dinner dishes. What a gem I have. That’s my Saturday evening. How’s yours?

@DianneN I’m a very tidy cook. My wife however uses every utensil we possess and leaves them scattered from one of the kitchen to the other. She doesn’t see that as a problem.

@Shiva49 I agree. I also contributed to finances when I worked. The only thing I won’t let him touch is the laundry. He turned too many white items pink and shrunk a few of my outfits.

Ohhh, is that an All-Clad pan that I see? I have an All-Clad pretty much exactly like that (and I use it ALL the time!). Saturday we had gone on a family hike in the afternoon, so we had a restful evening. Hope you had a lovely weekend . . . I'm trying to catch up now!

@DianneN I love All-Clad pans! Although all of my pots and pans aren't All-Clad. We have a lesser quality set we had since we got our first place . . . we still use those! We went hiking in the next county . . . a place in the hills where they used to film a lot of movies/commercials (I guess). No water, but we are supposed to get rain this week - so maybe then. Oh no, that headache is still lingering? I hope you feel tons better very soon. Yah, I never get entirely caught up .

What eagle eyes you have!. Yes, you are right. When we redid the kitchen, I replaced all my pots and pans with All-Clad. Aren’t they great? My old pots and pans are in Florida. What a nice thing to do with the family on a Saturday afternoon. Did you see any water in the creek? I haven’t been here much due to a blinding headache. You are not alone trying to catchup.

@much2say The kids were out of college when I bought them. It was like throwing myself a showe. . How cool is that? You must have seen some beautiful views. Rain is good! I feel a little better, but can’t take much more on here, even though I feel overwhelmed.

Last night was just one of those meals that had me stirring pots and making a huge mess. My husband just told me he would need about 1000 chicken wings if I made them for dinner.
