Today will be terrific as soon as I wake up!

 

Today is just general stuff...nothing too exiting

 

Yesterday we ended up having pork chops, cause I went to our annual "back to school" breakfast with friends and forgot to put the brisket in before I elft. so that is for tonight.

 

Had what I hope was a productive talk with one of my neighbor ladies about controlling food portions to save money. When I cook the brisket tonight, I will pull out most of the meat and they get what they get. If I left it in there it would last one meal instead of the 3 I can make it last if I cook it early and include pulling out the extra as part of meal prepping. My neighbor has a family of five and they are on disability, so their money is tight, and they are always running out of stuff like sugar or cooking oil. But when I go over there, they are always having big chunks of meat with their meals. While we do that once every few weeks, we don't do it often.

 

Momma, I will post some casserole recipes over In The Kitchen, I don't think I posted them here. Those really help our money stretch. Maybe a couple of them will be new for you.

 

OK, my brain isn't awake enough to think of more.

Hello everyone. I know, I know. I haven't been around here much lately. Actually I have but I just haven't been posting much.

 

I am off work today and I'm finishing up on my tomatoes. The summer garden is done. I planted green beans for a fall garden and we also planted some garlic. I am hoping to get more planted but I'm running out of time.

 

I have spaghetti squash that I need to get frozen so I will be working on that today.

 

I will be ready to go back to work tomorrow just to get some rest.

 

Have a great day everyone.

Well, what did I do today...?

 

I slept too late.

I did some launtry.

I read a book almost cover-to-cover (Cold Fire by Tamora Pierce...I tend to read YA books quickly)

I made some rice krispie squares, because Kev asked me to...He thinks the premade ones are too small for being ridiculously expensive. I think the homemade ones taste better, and they only take 10 minutes to make.

I played with the cat, and tried to teach him to stop him play-biting me. The back of my right hand is scratched too.

I started some reasearch for a story.

I came to work.

I sneezed a hundred times, and now I have a headache. Pixie, it's all your daughter's fault! She gave me a cold. to everyone!

Never mind, I figured out why! It's because I always go to Pixie's profile first and read all of her posts! I have to keep up with what my dear sister is talking about!
