the work that remains

[serene]

DONE cold fried chicken: a piece came out underdone, and so I feel I need to stick the whole batch into the oven for a while to make sure it's cooked through. A drag, but not the end of the world.

Also, there's some unbreaded chicken that I plan to bake with barbecue sauce. Will start around 5:30.

DONE veggie kabobs with some sort of veggie protein (tofu or seitan or tempeh): Not started yet, except the pressing and marinating of the tofu. (wtfpotatoes said she would do it)

DONE pulled pork and homemade rolls for sandwiches: Pork is pulled. Burned the first batch of barbecue sauce, so I need to make more.

Need to heat the pork in barbecue sauce around 6:45.

DONE Need to make rolls (dough is ready).

corn on the cob: need to cut and shuck and boil. Will start around 6:00.

DONE potato salad: made

DONE macaroni salad: made

watermelon: Will cut at last minute

lemonade: need to make (wtfpotatoes said she would do it); she squeezed the lemons; I just need to mix the ade up later. Last minute, I think.

BUYING SODA iced tea (sweet and un): may make; may instead buy cold two-liters of soda, because I can't find my other pitcher

SKIPPING peach cobbler: may skip; I have fewer peaches than I thought after the peach ice cream, and I'm going to need the oven for the rest of the chicken

DONE homemade ice cream, several flavors: done and yummy. We made four flavors, but I gave wtfpotatoes permission to eat all of the green tea, because that's her fave. She said it was better than store-bought. *preen* There are small amounts of dark chocolate and vanilla in the freezer, and a bit larger amount of peach. I may make more before the day's up.

ALSO:

Need to buy ice & soda around 6:30
Move furniture around 6:30
DONE Shower
Hook up tv/dvd in the bedroom for kids
DONE Put away the last of the laundry
Might make more ice cream at 6:00 or so
