Roto Rooter!  I had to call Rotto Rooter today because my kitchen sink started backing up.  I was making pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin butter, and preparing to make Chicken and Lentils when this happened.  It was GREAT.  Thankfully Roto Rooter sent someone out within an hour and they were able to snake the drain.  I live in a condo and 4 units share the same pipe.  They ALL put food down their disposals and I don’t (because I’ve learned) and who ALWAYS has to deal with the clogged sink? ME.   There was 16 FEET of food backed up in the pipe-EWWWWE!

Once the plumber left, Lu and I walked to the store to pick up a few items I forgot and then she had lunch and went down for a nap.  While she napped, I did P90X-Kenpo X. Have any of you done this workout?  They are all sweating and acting like it’s hard and I just don’t feel it or get sweaty.  And I really DO the moves.  I don’t get it.  Give me running any day.  After that, I cleaned the kitchen and then took a shower.

My house smells REALLY funny right now.  I’ve got Indian Lentils:

and Pumpkin Butter:

cooking right next to one another:

For the lentils I used this recipe. Only I’m cooking it in a pot since my crock pot is being used and I added carrots and more spices.  I’ll let you know how it turns out.

This afternoon, I’m making fajitas for lunch and then we’re going to a get together for Shaun’s Mountain Bike Boot Camp.  It should be fun!  It’s beautiful out there.

Today I’m grateful for Roto Rooter!!!
