Day 3 of Project Switch

Last night's dinner was quite tasty.  Chicken and Sausage Cassoulet in the crockpot.  I didn't know what cassoulet was before yesterday and I'm still not sure I could describe it too well.  There was chicken, beans, sausage, tomatoes, and I'm sure a slew of other things all simmered together for eight hours.  All I know is that it was good and we'll be hanging on to the recipe.  We finished up the leftovers today.

Tonight's dinner is currently in the oven and smelling so good.  Homemade meatloaf made out of good ground beef and not the creepy stuff I refuse to eat.  My husband is so good to me!  There will also be mashed potatoes made from scratch.  Seriously going to get spoiled this month!

I haven't done too much in terms of Stewart's duties/chores.  We did have a discussion today over who was supposed to be doing the ironing.  When we got married, I told him that I would never iron which would technically mean that I had to iron today.  BUT.  I've done all the ironing anyway since we got married which means he would have to iron.  Since it was for work, he went ahead and ironed.

I did have to go fill up our two 5 gallon water jugs.  San Angelo water is not tasty and actually quite disgusting.  So for $1.25, we can fill up a 5 gallon jug.  I've never done it before.  I loaded up the dogs (yes, they go on this errand) and put the jugs in the back of my Xterra.  We drive the short  > 1 mile drive and I get out and set everything up and sit back while it fills up.  Piece of cake.  Wrong.  First, it overflowed even though I chose the 5 gallon option and there isn't even an option for more than that.  Then, have you ever picked up a 5 gallon jug of water?  I am not a strong person and it was quite the task/workout.  I had to do this twice and then bring them all the way into the house when we got home.  I would not even attempt to put them on our water tower as I couldn't even lift it past my waist and I was sure it would spell disaster.  So Stewart walked in, picked it up with ONE hand and took care of it.  If I was strong like him, I would have been just fine!
