Hubby and I did another huge grocery shopping trip. Thank goodness we won't have to for at least four or five days, or so. We bought a lot because the handymen are back to continue the work for us. I'm kind of relieved that our stuff won't be coming tomorrow. It hopefully (hopefully) will on Wednesday. Again, the original moving outfit is being a mfr and not paying the Czech moving company. They're a-hol**, for sure! The Czech company, in contrast, does seem nice. Hubby is even offering to pay them some money if they can come without being paid by the mfrs. We'll see. Anyway, there's still lots scheduled to happen tomorrow.
Yesterday was freezing rain so bad that we had a heck of time scrapping the ice off our car. We should have put it in the garage! We did, at least after-the-fact. We had to go to a Bauhaus (like Home Depot) and buy not only a shovel, but huge bags of salt for the sidewalks. Apparently, it is our responsibility to shovel and salt the one in front of our house.
I made banana nut bread and offered it to our handymen friends. I asked Hubby how to say "I baked banana bread", in Czech, but what I ended up saying was "I ran away banana bread". Apparently "baked" and "ran away" are similar enough sounding words that my mix up was a funny one. Tomorrow I'll make a large bacon wrapped meatloaf with homemade mashed potatoes and veggie sides. They're sure to like that. It's a very "clog your arteries" kind of a cuisine here. Washed down with liters of beer. Today we bought a restaurant's special for us all, translating to "Slaughterhouse Goulash". By "slaughterhouse", that means that in addition to beef, in this case, there was liver and other innards in it. All served with Czech dumplings. When our life is back to normal, healthful cuisine will be back!
