This is always a very busy time of year, trying to get caught up on home stuff, Christmas in every direction and just plain trying to figure out what the heck is going on.

Today has been no exception.

Watching it snow outside and knowing I can’t plow until it stops, I’ve been trying to catch up on some cooking that I promised.  I have batch number 4 of Venison Bacon in the cooler letting the nitrites do their thing until tomorrow when I can smoke the stuff.

And then, after a brief pause on this site, I went to making some “One Lisa Burritos” for a party on the morning of Christmas Eve.  This will be year number 3 for me to make up a batch of these burritos and take them to Sherry’s work and have a small party before the store opens.

Everything takes time and when you have an actual count of the number of people that are going to be in attendance (+/- one or two), you buy the appropriate number of items to make up the batch you need…right?…Go back up to the picture I put up about this story and count the number of burritos you see….6 is my count!  And the package says there should be 10!  6 for 10…what a deal!  Now I’m 4 short!  I’ve always been short, but in this case, I will have to open another package to make the number I need for the party…oh well!

I’m not going to bother Smith’s with this, nor will I write Lynn Wilson, I’ll just live with it and in future purchases consider the possibility of a shortage and buy more than I need.

The snow has stopped…my two batches of burritos are in the freezer…I’ve had my lunch and now for an exciting afternoon of pushing snow!

Later!
