Yesterday, Woody & I were able to use a 4 letter word we haven't used for months -- date! We actually went on a date yesterday. We went to see the new Narnia film at the movies (don't get me started on asking why it cost $5 for a small bag of popcorn). It was really good, and Woody liked seeing a non-child movie with action. It was actually my choice as I have been wanting to see it since it opened on May 16. Of course, we took the matinee and then went to dinner. All this was possible since Woody's mom watched Natalie for us! Dinner was great, but now that I cook most meals and am very aware of costs, thinking how many groceries we could eat for the amount of money. But, it was a nice, special treat! And, one we won't have again for a while I bet!
Now, Woody is going camping with Natalie tonight. It will be a wonderful, special time. I would love to go, but I believe sleeping on the ground will not happen at this point. And, being away from any facilities will be difficult, so I am doing my own agenda tonight!
This will be my focus! I've had this book for over a year (available from Amazon). The recipes aren't gourmet, but they are usually good. I have just used it for cooking one item while freezing half in the past. Now, I am actually branching out and trying to cook half a month, or 2 weeks, as that is one option. It would be great to know what was for dinner for 2 weeks! So, I want to see if it is worth the effort and time to try this out tonight. I have already purchased the items to cut up, chop, and assemble. I need a few more freezer dishes then I will be ready! So, I will update how this goes.
