Noodle Jars. All prepped in the fridge and just needing hot water. Broth paste or miso at the very bottom and then the veggies, meat or tofu, next up the cooked and chilled rice noodles and herbs. If I was till working--I would be making up a set of jars each Sunday for a week's lunches. The water machine can do hot water.
We had some serious anxiety yesterday. The Tree Guys were supposed to work on daughter's dying (very old and tall) maple in her small front yard on Thursday. But the coming storm on Thursday had the Tree Guy Owner start the work yesterday. And the two workers made QUITE A MESS.
Daughter arrived home at 5pm and flew into a panic. Tree branches (cut) were breaking and crushing her neighbor's lilacs. Another branch crushing her hydrangea (still in blossoms) up against the house and another bed that needs to reseed.
Her neighbors were hanging around--everyone likes to visit a crime scene.
G and I arrived. I directed daughter to calm down (nice try). G started taking pictures and sending them to the Tree Guy Owner who arrived on the scene (I think he was eating dinner with his family at a restaurant) in 15 minutes (after seeing the pictures) and just stood there in complete SHOCK. One of the guys who did the damage (10 year veteran of tree work) arrived with a small chain saw and started moving and cutting the branches bending the lilacs. He said "the other guy said it was okay to leave it "messy" when they stopped work". It wasn't and from what the new crew said this morning.........they all got a very serious (and scary) ass chewing with continued employment being discussed.
This morning's crew included one of the two guys who worked on our property last week. When he drove up, his eyes bugged out (my husband said) and he started right in "cleaning things up" and saying how sorry he was for what had happened. I guess no one in the company had ever left a job site looking like that in--well, EVER.
Damage is done though and our daughter will be re-living her arrival at her house for years to come.
And I will be negotiating before paying.
