I was on my feet cooking all day, and because I am an idiot, I was barefoot. I had been wearing sandles that were made to make your feet look cute--not to help you walk. I took them off because they were hurting my feet, and I didn't put on my tennis shoes like I should have.
My sister is getting married in 2 weeks, and I'm hosting a shower the day before the wedding because all of our relatives live out-of-state and they want to be able to attend a shower. Because of some bad scheduling conflicts, the bridesmaid breakfast is that day at 10:30, and then my shower is at 12:30. That means that all of the food has to be in the freezer ahead of time or made the night ahead. Fortunately, some out-of-town guests will be staying at my house, and they'll pop a casserole in the oven and assemble finger sandwiches while I'm at the brunch, but everything else has to be done.
So, I've been cooking. Today I have put into my freezer:
4 dozen buttermilk blueberry mini muffins
4 dozen applesauce spice mini muffins
4 dozen chocolate chocolate chip cookies
5 dozen butter cookies sandwiched with strawberry jam
Lots of cream cheese melt away mints
The night before the shower, I'm making pimiento cheese and chicken salad for finger sandwiches, fruit salad, spinach dip to go in a bread bowl, and broccoli salad. I'll also be assembing a breakfast casserole that will cook while I'm at the breakfast. On the way back from the breakfast, I'm picking up a cake and a veggie tray (to go with the spinach dip).
I was cooking and then cleaning for over 6 hours today. As soon as I get done reading the boards, I'm going to take a hot bath and talk DH into massaging my feet.
