Office Work.......

[Orchid]

I am proud of myself right at this moment. A few weeks ago I started meal planning on the weekend before we head to the grocery store, and I write the meals down in my weekly planner. I still have times when I think "what on earth are we going to have for supper tonight" and then I remember that I have it written in my planner AND I have the ingredients I need!

Tonight it's a ham slice, baked sweet potatoes and green beans.

Which means I will have time to go for a run with my Cody dog after I pop the taters in the oven.

Ooh, that needs to be my next step. Actually plan my meals. I currently get home and go OMG WHAT DO I EAT. It's a lot easier for me since its just well...me......but hello, chronic disorganization here. Attempting to not be featured on Hoarders, Season 12, in 10 years.

It is really a good feeling. Plus we waste so much less food - write it on the list, buy only what we need, eat it up that week. No more cake mixes from three years ago in my pantry!

Thanks Orchid he's my empty nest syndrome baby lol, and so is the other one just like him. Hey Maple come to my house too, The bunny, the bird and the kitty litter needs to be done, I'll make cupcakes and even share!

I need to do that. It was horrifying how much food I threw away. I still have a big pile of expired stuff that needs to be given to the chickens. I should do that tonight, so that part of the counter is cleared. I made the mistake of sticking it in the corner, so I don't even notice it now.


Alright Jbowyer, what should we call you here? We have Lori, Maple, Orchy, etc.......don't make me type JBowyer!

Ha! I got one thing right. I do plan meals ahead of time. In fact, I plan them so that there are leftovers of certain things and then plan side dishes around the leftovers so they don't seem leftover-ish.


It is not warm and sunny outside. I think we've been screwed by the weather man. I feel so violated....

JB, like the whiskey

Even if her last name isn't Hunt.... (isn't that a whiskey?)

I'm not a whiskey afficianado.....or however that's spelled.

Think I'll have McD for lunch. Nice giant thing of french fries. Maybe a caramel frappe......Some sort of "meal" type item also. I'm such a winner.

I do that too. I'll make a big roast beef in the crockpot, then use part of the leftovers for bbq beef sandwiches and part to make beef stew.

It's sunny here, but not what anyone in their right mind would call warm....or anyone in their left mind for that matter...

I bring lunch to work. Cheaper and since I only have 30 minutes it's quicker, too.
Today is either microwave popcorn or clam chowder. Depends on my mood when I get around to eating....

I try to avoid fast food. If I'm going to consume calories I want it to be in cookie or candy form. I'm not wasting them on grease!

Plus, at the last county fair, there was a woman who did a whole presentation in 90 degree heat with a gob of Crisco on her arm. IT NEVER MELTED. She explained that it takes like 140 degrees or something to melt it enough to fry foods. So than that yuck coagulates in your belly and clogs your arteries

I've never looked at french fries the same after that. I'd rather swallow bubblegum....
