stockpiling

1. I am grateful that my dad was willing to watch Gulliver for several hours today so that I could get some cleaning and organizing done.

2. I am grateful that the new recipe I tried tonight (and optimistically doubled) was a big hit. I doubled it because it was a "great for freezing" recipe so now I can freeze half and know that when this shows up on the dinner menu next month everyone will happily eat it.

3. I am grateful for ice cream and strawberries and that sometimes they combine to make yummy strawberry shakes.
