shepherd's pie

the next few posts will be a bit like shepherd's pie.  a little bit of this, a little bit of that.  all your thanksgiving feast left-overs thrown in a casserole dish and baked again.

unfortunately, these leftovers have been sitting, fermenting rather, in the fridge for, like, a month now.  they've lost a lot of original flavor.  i promise i'm not a bad cook.  it just takes me a while to grow my motivation to try my hand at a new recipe.

i've managed to start and quit this post 4 times now.  now that it's 11:35, and my eyelids are about as heavy as my stomach after consuming that pumpkin nutella bread i whipped up instead of writing, i've decided to try to attack it just one more time.

the problem is, there are so many left-overs in the fridge.  tupperwares cascade down the shelves when i even begin to crack the door to peer inside. most of it doesn't look the same, and everything has developed a slightly funny smell as you peel back the lid.

but it's time.  it's time to clean out the fridge.  to organize the mess.  to see whats still edible, and to make a new grocery list based on everything thats purged.  and once i throw it all out, it's probably best to wipe it down with a thick layer of lysol disinfecting spray.

guess it looks like i have some writing to do tomorrow after church.  that, and legitimate unpacking and cleaning, and cleaning out the fridge.  the literal one.
