#house All the art is off the walls, all the holes patched and painted. Plants that needed a home have been parceled out. Tomorrow rugs will be rolled and taped; house cleaned for the last time.
Bitch is, we donβt close till April 2nd and this all could fall apart.
We have bought and sold 6 houses and this Florida transaction is the biggest cluster fuck ever.
#house allegedly we close both houses in two weeks. Why allegedly? Because shit happens. Done this dance 6 times and the last two weeks are nerve wrecking, loads to do and hope for the best. Daughter and I are chill since we go in autopilot and get things done. Husband turns into a fucking asshole who, though wrong every time, thinks he knows best. Fun, not!
#house We found a house, put in an offer, it was accepted; now, hopefully, to close in FL and drive away. The next two weeks are going to be π«£
#houseupdate So the house we put an offer on had multiple un-permited work done; a deal breaker. Somehow we have two weeks to find another house, put an offer, close, and move.
I swear this FL house is haunted by my crazy family and are not letting us move.
#vegan #cooking #deli If you are paying for vegan deli slices, pay no more. They are easy to make at home. Excellent recipe at Sarahsvegankitchen.com For chicken flavored, Mrs. Dash Chicken and some sage; for Mexican, a can of chipotles, sauce and all does the trick. Italian? Healthy dose of Italian seasonings. We are generous with the powdered onion, garlic, paprika, and pepper.

The appraisal came through, now we wait on the underwriter to sign off on the loan.
Another week of waiting, urgh!
#cooking #baking
On a happy note, I finally figured out perfect pie crust from scratch. I know the woman who can make mallorcas, stuffed cinnamon rolls, has kept a jar of sourdough going for over a year, can cook you name it couldn't make pie crust to save her soul
Also figured out baking powder biscuits that don't scream baking powder
It's a win

The latest Florida Scam:
Buyer sees houses with nice appliances, makes offer, goes to closing, takes possession, moves in. Surprise! Buyer has replaced the nice appliances with shitty ones.
On a different note... the people who want to buy our house and have no $$$$ are relying on a huge loan for their purchase. For the loan to go through, the house has to pass a couple inspections. Interesting part is that they keep calling the tradesmen and almost harassing them to get the inspections done. Wish someone would tell them that pissing off trades is a really bad idea.
