Purging

Over the past few weeks I've definitely gotten into the nesting phase of my pregnancy.  Baby boy is coming and I need to clear out all the stuff we've been holding on to.  Clearing my own stuff is easy but my husband is a little reluctant parting with his things.  He has drawers overflowing with tee shirts.  Tops he hasn't worn in over 10 years and will never wear again!  So while he's out working I have his permission to sort through these articles of clothing. 
He warned me not to make a 'keep' pile and a 'donate' pile because the entire 'donate' pile will end up back in his drawer.  I'm very proud of his owning the boarder line hoarding.  So, I plan on hiding the the 'donate' pile for one month just to be sure I don't get accused of giving away some priceless, faded tee shirt he got back in the 90's.

Here are some photos of before:  Overflowing...





 These slightly "folded" tee shirts were not allowed to be thrown away at the last cleaning. 



 And after:  Two bags were left over.  One will be put in a better Space bag to be stored.  The other will be hidden for one month before donated just to see if he misses anything.

It's slightly more organized, however now I am in need of a Space bag to condense and protect his precious tee shirts. 



I'm feeling pretty good about the 'Tee shirt purge of 2012.' 
So, now I'm looking toward my refrigerator.  What can I use to make a meal?
I have zucchini I got last week at the farmer's market, some onion, garlic, mushrooms, two eggs, left over salad, some feta cheese, and a carrot.  Hmm.  
This looks like a scramble...

 I scrambled up my two eggs with a touch of milk, salt & pepper.  I added the feta cheese and left over chopped tomato at the end. 


 I chopped up some onion, zucchini, mushrooms in a little butter, O.O., salt & pepper and garlic powder(because I was out of fresh garlic.)
I added some julienne carrots for crunch, however they got mushy and watered down the dish.  Note to self, leave out carrots. 
I mixed them all together and...
I got a lovely little scramble.  I made a little white rice in my trusty rice cooker.  Mixed it together with a touch of parm cheese and siracha for spice.  It was quite tasty.   Not bad for a meal of left overs.  My only regret was the carrots.

Now my belly is full and my fridge is cleaned but I am late for work...whoops!
