Rice Crackers and stuff

helwenOnly been to a grocery store once in the past week or so, so I've only tried one type of cracker. They're by Glutino and look a lot like a Ritz cracker except light-colored. They were pretty tasty but useless for my purposes because they're packaged stupidly. They come loose in two small mylar bags inside a box, and most of them were broken. Hopefully we'll be able to stop in at a store sometime in the next week so I can try again.
A friend of mine who's GF recommends pizza rounds by Against the Grain, which I'd like to try out. It would be handy if it came either as dough or in a square/rectangular shape as well; or as a mix, that would be good too. We'll see what the options are.
I put up two wire shelves today, and made space for getting on a chair or ladder so I can put two more above them. I can already tell they're going to make that corner of the room look cluttered, so setting up a curtain for that wall might be added to the to-do list...
Continuing to sort things out, but it's like a puzzle, trying to figure out what to move in order to do the next thing. Moved some things to the basement or the barn, just to have some working room. The kitchen continues to be challenging, and I just can't see using the below-counter corner shelving for anything I need on a regular basis. The door is a bi-fold and just a hair awkward to manage. And originally I put a bunch of the dry goods in one of the cabinets but I don't have enough room for all our kitchen things, so now I'm working on making space for dry goods in the laundry room instead. So in order to make space there, I'm trying to figure out which projects I can get done more quickly...eh, kinda working.
Turmeric continues to be my friend -- hate to think what the arch of my left foot would feel like without it...
L has to go to the family farm daily because of the chickens but I can stay home some days and try to make headway in our house, which is nice. We might be further along but L's work schedule has been pretty crazy between still driving his mom for some things, chickens and hay, and some very challenging projects at work.
Tomorrow I'll be at the farm to at least start to wash/candle/box eggs, while he drives his mom to work and then he'll join in the effort on his return. He was complaining that it wasn't what he wanted to be doing on Valentine's Day, but I don't mind working together on things. Besides, we have reservations Friday night at Elmer's for the Night of Chocolate and Love. SIL D will be visiting this weekend and is taking Ma to this; our reservation is later in the evening because we both kept forgetting to make reservations. It's a pretty social time actually, and quite often folks end up chatting between the tables, and you'll see families or groups of friends as well as couples. This year they have everything from parties of 1 to parties of 10!
