A Day Off in the Life of a Personal Chef

So what does a personal chef do on her day off during the week?  I had plans for my day off today.  I planned to go to Jazzercise and I did, I changed sheets and washed the whites.  Next up?  I was planning to do some research and development. 

In my life that means making new recipes.  I was going to make macarons and a new chicken casserole.  I had almost all of the ingredients since I shopped Sunday with the plan.  I was missing some corn tortillas but could just run to the store for that one thing.  Of course it would have been nice had I remembered yesterday while at the store shopping for my customer day but that didn't happen. 

So after Jazzercise and laundry I decided to start the cookies.  There are several steps, I have all day with a short break at 1:30 to participate in a conference call.  I learned that I should have read the recipe yesterday so I could have separated the eggs and let the whites age in the refrigerator for 24 hours.  Okay, done with the cookie recipe!

I decided I would run out for the tortillas.  I do not like to run out for one thing and I was kind of disturbed but then I remembered that I needed my eye drop prescription refilled.  Yay, multi purposes!  I headed to Super Target, stopped at the pharmacy and then went to get tortillas.  Got distracted by nail polish and stopped to look at new colors.

I do not polish my nails but do need to have cute toes.  I picked up a pretty bottle of black licorice colored polish and a nice olive green.  Can't wait to change!  I still had some time so I thought I'd just browse the ice cream.  I like to keep it in the freezer, we were getting low. 

Some very interesting new flavors that Ben and Jerry have come out with.  Picked up enough that the cashier was wondering what I was doing!  I did however get my eye drops. 

Back home to clean off a shelf in the freezer for ice cream, move that corn.  Decided to do a blog entry, now have to get laundry in the dryer, prepare for my class tomorrow evening and yes, make a new chicken casserole recipe for dinner.  

I always have a plan, I just sometimes take the long way instead of the direct path!
