8:30

 I've been up for hours and it's only 8:30.  

I'm cleaning out the pantry.  It has disposable cutlery, paper plates, stuff like that.  Some batteries and a battery operated light, and fan.  A fair amount of canned food which I have to go through and toss most of it.  

And the split peas.  If you're a long timer you may remember Ron and the split peas the year before he died.  That is literally one of the only foods he'd eat for months.  Split peas, 1 cup split peas, 2 cups water, one 5 ounce can diced ham or a ham seasoning packet, 1/2 t black pepper.  I would put rice in there too to make it a complete protein and it must have worked, the coroner said he looked OK.  I got so sick of cooking them, feeding them to him.  I didn't like them to start and I loathed them by the time he died.  

I had about 10 pounds left.  I threw them out today.  I would have never eaten them.  I have plenty of lentils which I adore.  Adios!  If someone wants me to fix them split peas I will be happy to purchase some.  

I am cleaning the pantry as I go and then I will start figuring out where the rice, beans, spices, appliances need to go.  The towels/rags are done and now I have the actual clothes in the wash.  I still haven't seen the remote.  

I took out the henna I had made a small amount for root touch ups which I plan to do today.  I also need to get the lentils soaking to make my Dal Makhni.  

That's it for now!
