Keeping Track

I've pulled the following from yesterday's entry to track my progress. I start late today, but I finished the last dish at 12:30 a.m., so I'm moving slowly. I also have a party to attend tonight. Who knows how much I can accomplish today or tomorrow? It's the same party I attended last year, when I came home at 5:00 a.m. smelling like a city bus stop. Perhaps a little self control is in order this time.

What I've made and stashed in the freezer so far:
Pot Roast
Pakistani Chicken
Tortilla Soup
Minestrone
Tomato Basil Soup
Baked Mustard Chicken
ETA: Giada's Artichoke Soup
ETA: Shrimp Etouffe
ETA: Coq au Vin

What I have yet to make:
Greek Lemon Soup (Again, does anyone know how it freezes?)
Chicken Cacciatore

I have three pounds of shrimp to get through, so I'll make other shrimp dishes as they occur to me. The same goes for chicken and vegetables. I hadn't planned the Minestrone or the Baked Mustard Chicken, but when I thought of them I realized they'd freeze well. I expect to continue improvising like that.

ETA: Shrimp and chicken all gone. Will return to the store. Cooking finished for the day. Almost time to go out.

You're making me hungry. Everything sounds delicious!

Ha! Thanks. :)

I just finished the Etouffe. OMG!!!111!!! *flailz* THAT wins. I've made it many times before, but this was the perfect batch. I had to eat some for dinner before storing the rest.

From waht I can find on the web, yes, the Greek Lemon soup should be okay in the freezer.

Happy New Year!

Oh good! Thanks for checking!

Stayed out late last night. Trying to get the energy to cook again today. Ugh. So far, no success.
