Taking a short break

First blog on our new blogspot... a LOT of busy work that's getting done today! Where to begin?
James and about 9 or 10 other Army guys went out last night to Jekyll Island for a "Night Shark Fishing Charter." They had such a great time, and after four 'manly' hours joking around, drinking beer & bragging like fishermen do, four guys each caught a 3-foot long sharpnose shark. It's really not shark season anymore (so I'm told), so lo and behold to my surprise, and since all four guys live in the barracks, James came home with all four sharks for my fillet-ing pleasure.
We tore out the culinary school knives and got to work. Lucky for me the captain of the charter provides gut-cleaning services on deck, so I didn't have to get the grimy part of the job, but it was fun nonetheless. :) James is off delivering shark fillets now, as I blog.
My big projects of today are as follows: 1- finish cooking up my orders for my extra-cash biz venture "Meals on Heels" and 2- seperate & store all of the miscellaneous stuff around the house.
I have a myspace set up with menu options and delivery info for Meals on Heels, providing healthy, hearty, home-cooked meals in frozen portions to the guys in the barracks. Their kitchens consist of a sink, fridge & microwave, really limiting their culinary options. My 'just like mom's' microwaveable dinners are starting to take off. Word of mouth has helped out!
Today, I'm making one pan of mexican lasagna, one pan of chicken parmesan, five large stromboli's, one pot of jambalya, and will prep five large racks of ribs, in addition to side dishes, rolls & dessert.
And the storage- James built this amazing storage shelf system in our garage. Pictures will definitely follow! There's hanging room for his military gear, special shelving for his fishing poles, a work table, etc, all custom designed to still allow a car to pull in (home resale in mind) and the attic to fold down.
Today, James and a buddy are going up in the attic (first time since I fell through) to put insulation up & nail down thick wood panels to ensure no one else falls through, lol. And another friend is helping complete the mural in Slade's room- this guy is good! He drew out everything, and he & I have slowly but surely been painting sea turtles, starfish, miscellaneous fish, jellyfish, treasure chest, etc. Again, pictures will follow when I find the camera cord.
Slade's down for a nap, so my break needs to end while I have the time to cook...
