Its been a long week. I'm glad its Friday.
Last week I put a bunch of pork shoulder in my crockpot and froze at least ten meals of around 5 oz each of the most delicious pork. I seasoned it with S&P, cumin, chilies, garlic, onions. I'm going to eat it in tacos, on salads, and mixed into various other things.
I also found a can of pumpkin from the holidays and made some moist pumpkin bread. One loaf went into the freezer and the other has been slowly disappearing. I also used up the last of the chocolate chips on cookies for Bubbie and me.
Last Friday I found exactly the right size filing cabinet I was looking for at Habitat Restore - $5. They even loaded it into Brigid for me!
The one I had was just too large for my purposes. The top two drawers were mostly empty and the remaining drawers had plenty of space.
I removed all of the files, pulled the tall cabinet out, then cleaned up the area and added an extra shelf. My plan is to go through all of my files before I put them back - I'm sure I will have plenty to shred.
I will sand and seal the shelves, paint the walls, then make a space for my stepstool and "new" file cabinet to live here. I will show it when its all done!
Thrifting last week also netted me this Snoopy mug for $2. I got rid of all the kids' Christmas mugs, so now I have room for Gina mugs.

And my favorite little Goodwill now prices all of their books at $2 each so I got some new things to read. Right now I am halfway done with The Things They Carried. Its been a week of introspection and organization here at Camp Rustown. I am ready for my workweek to begin!

I love batch cooking and having meals or even components of meals on hand in the freezer. Good find with filing cabinet; I know from trying to help my mom and step-father find one that they aren't all that common or popular anymore.
You had a great week! I look forward to seeing the finished project. I jotted down one of your book titles to grab next time I go to the library. Thanks for the inspiration.
Gina mugs! I love it...I have some favorites, too. I should give the kids their mugs to make more room for mine!
What a productive, not to mention fun, week you have had. I had pork in the slow cooker as well, revamping an old recipe from the 70s that I used to enjoy when my mother made it. I’ve also had my nose to the grindstone with a couple of projects, and have done a tiny bit of organizing. I am always so inspired by your posts. Have a wonderful weekend, Gina!
yes yes yes I love cooking in the crock pot.
That's a cute mug. I love finding holiday mugs while thrifting. I liked to batch cook and freeze as well. I have some extra cans of pumpkin that I need to use up as well!
