I have a slight knee injury, so I can’t ride my bike, which means I can’t go anywhere. Stuck at home, I decided to deep clean my kitchen in preparation for CSA season. My friend Heidi single-handedly farms at The Farm at Caracara and her vegetables are deserving of a beautiful, clean kitchen. The most disgusting thing I found while cleaning so far was actually in the living room. We have an area rug under the coffee table, and under the area rug is an anti-slip mat that has small perforation. Dust accumulates in those cracks so even if you lifted up an edge and vacuumed under the rug, you wouldn’t necessarily full get out all of the debris tucked inside the mat.
While I was at it, I fried some red onions to make an onion paste. I don’t think there’s any other meal prep that’s worth doing today. I already have quite a number of ingredients in my fridge that are ready to go. Here’s my current “bowl supplies” list. My partner works from home and makes his own tacos or salads for lunch every day. I keep a running list of things we have in the fridge that he might consider using.
The cat thinks I am never home, so she’s been happy to have me puttering around the house today.
Here’s a beautiful dead moth that blew across my doorstep. It was about 4 inches across.
I think the last thing I need to do is use some lemon peel to make a scented-spray so that the room smells fresh instead of like caramelized onion.
