I said at the start of this project that I wanted to learn how to chop an onion quickly like Gordon Ramsay. I have begun to learn, but I'm still definitely not as quick as regular chef. I will keep trying though.
However, the problem with chopping all these onions is that I apparently haven't yet taught my tear ducts to stop crying. Today, while making vegetable wraps for dinner, I literally had tears rolling down my face. It doesn't always happen, but it's very annoying when it does. There has to be a way to not weep while chopping onions, otherwise there'd be chefs sobbing in every kitchen.
In other Housewife news, I finally have a clean-ish house. On Friday, I spent the afternoon reorganizing our big cabinet to put away some of our wedding gifts. Prior to that there were piles of boxed bowls and such everywhere; now the only things left to put away are some charger plates and our nice china place settings. I'm aiming to get that all done this weekend, but I'm not completely certain it will work out as planned.
Unfortunately our office area is still a rubbish tip. Because of this, we have three big boxes in our living room that hold the pieces of a bookshelf, and it's starting to wear on me. However, we aren't able to build the bookshelf until we clean out the office completely. A homeowner's work is never done I guess.
Recently I've hit a wall in the recipe-trying arena. I'm still finding some recipes that look great, but they just seem like a lot more work than I'd hoped for. On Friday and Saturday it's not so bad since I'm not at work, but every other night it just seems to be too much by the time I get home. If we didn't live across the street from a grocery store, I don't think we'd be eating at all some nights.
