Why am I awake at 6:30 AM on a Sunday? I slept at around 11PM last night and with our usual glass of wine..I should be sleeping like a log till 9am. But what am I doing here so wide awake banging the kitchen pantry doors? I didn't plan to cook today until I saw the skewer sticks (might as well eat in and save $50 for lunch at the chinese buffet).
The good thing about having an extra freezer (don't ask me why we have the giant sized version) in the garage is having the convenience and access to variety of food (since I buy in bulk to save cost). Grabbing half a pack of shrimp (costs $13/pack at Sams Club) and frozen pineapples -- - today will be a special kabob day!
