It seems that the weekdays are just rushing past me, and I have been cooking so much on the weekends, that I have left overs for the week. Which for any working person is not a bad thing. The days I work 12 hours, I do appreciate just having to toss something in the microwave and its still home cooking, not paying a fortune to eat out, or staying cheap and getting fast food which always makes me sick. It is not cheap to eat healthy. I always wondered how that worked, I mean I can go to McDonald's and get a burger, fries, and a soda for $3. Yet, if I wanted to try and eat healthy, while still at McDonald's, the salad is $4-$6. For lettuce, are you kidding, what else is in there. Oh yes they are charging me for the plastic container that it comes in, and the fork. You know what, toss it in a bag and Ill use my forks at home. I can purchase an entire bag of salad for $1 at the supermarket when it is on sale. Yes, now if only I did that and ate it, well then I just wouldn't have my lovely curves. And who am I kidding, I love to eat just as much as I love to cook! It's weird I used to be the baker, I was always the baker, I still made a dinner each night for the family, but I never took pride it in, and it showed in the cooking. I think it was due to who I was cooking for at that time. But I took pride in my baking, whether it was chocolate, cookies, cakes, breads, even dog biscuits. I took such great pride in it. And that showed in the presentations! I have learned to love cooking for myself and now even more for others. I guess since I got rid of the trash in my life, I enjoy cooking for others again. Baking however doesn't seem to happen as much anymore. I need to work on that, but rarely do I have milk or eggs in the house. I can't drink milk so I never think to buy it, but most of my baking recipes call for it. And eggs, well i never made breakfast so I would never think to buy eggs. Now I start my shopping list off with those in hopes that I might remember them.
Today was interesting , I realized I had $20 to go shopping with and I had a field day. I pulled out the circulars and planned a menu of sorts in my head around what was on sale. Hence the aforementioned salad in a bag for $1. I wanted to make something sweet after cooking all day yesterday, and I couldn't make a single thing. Well maybe if I would have stared in the cabinets some more I might have been able to come up with something but... So I think setting the goal of a daily blog was a bit too much for me at this point. I do most of my cooking on the weekends when I have time. So maybe that is where my concentration should be. How much can I cook on the weekend to get me leftovers for at least the beginning of the week. I guess we will find out how well this idea works. I put to much pressure on myself for individual tasks and maybe a daily blog was too much with all of the time spent at the vet and then at the dealership over these last few weeks. I am hoping that once this is over, that I will have my time back during the week so we will see.
I believe my last post was on the 28th, oh goodness. The week surely wasn't too interesting, I purchased lunches from work and got them late in the day so they were more of a linner meal (lunch & dinner in one). I took some pictures as I wanted to remember them to cook myself at home, and I had some new vegetables as well. So Hoping you will bear with me as I attempt to catch this up once again and hopefully start getting this into high gear!
