Bean Here, Done This! With short subjects of food

January 14th, 2012 at 05:23 pm

This week I did not at any time order coffee or espresso out. I know the week doesn't officially end until fifteen hours from now, but I thought that was remarkable. My husband had only work coffee on Friday.

I will brave jaunts for flour, eggs and canned soups, so I can commence to warming the main floor and our stomachs. I will also brave semi-annual payment of car insurance. This might be the last one we have for our vehicle. I better go bless the heap with holy water so we are protected from driving hell this week.What's great on a snow day? Red pepper soup and brioche!

You Can Too!

As I picked up some paper detritus, I found an old printout from
Text is grocerylists.org and Link is http://grocerylists.org
grocerylists.org. I love how, in addition to dairy, fish, baking goods, there's a shopping section for carcinogens. I resolve to reduce my intake of parabens this year. I just had bacon burgers last night, au Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook, so that will be sad to restrict. Come to think of it, pancetta and prosciutto are processed meats too. I go cry now.

It is nearly the middle of the month and we have spent only $26 on automotive fuel! Yay shut-in lifestyle!

    I've also entirely given up processed meats in all forms. I used to think I was "safe" by eating hot dogs and cold cuts that were labeled "nitrite free," but after reading up on celery juice, i stopped even that. The biggest bummer is staying away from kielbasa.

    I think that the semi-annual payment for insurance is the way to go because it generally leads to annual savings overall... but it can be a big chunk of change all at once. Oh, and red pepper soup sounds amazing! We had stuffed red peppers with qinoa and pork and onions the other night. Delish.

    @Jerry: I love quinoa-stuffed red peppers!
