On Emotional Labor

[ysabetwordsmith]

I was fascinating to find this quote that referenced emotional labor among the trials of women and men:

nature has decreed that for what men suffer by having to shave, be killed in battle, and eat the legs of chickens, women make amends by housekeeping, childbirth, and writing all the letters for both of them ...

I am most prone to chopping white meat for use in leftover makeovers. Add gravy and mushrooms to it, then pour the results over a pot of noodles. Quite tasty then.

White meat is also good for chicken soup or jambalaya.

Noodles, broth and tomatoes for us. Simply because we don't buy the powdered gravy, and we don't use enough mushrooms to justify canned or fresh. Meanwhile canned tomatoes last forever. LOL

...

Still not a bad combo though. We love mushrooms like nothing else, yum.
