Where I'm At Wednesday.....
It's Wednesday afternoon. It's cold outside. I'm dying to go home and cook a pot of spicy chili with cornbread. YUM! Doesn't that sound good?
Well, I can't.
I am going home to have yet another bowl of bean soup without any cornbread.
Here are a few other things I've discovered by Wednesday:
- The foodie blogs, Pinterest and Tastespotting aren't nearly as fun to read. Filled with photos of great recipe ideas that I can't try. Food Network shows, not as fun to watch. They are cruel even. They aren't places of inspiration.
- I always want things when I can't have them ... things I RARELY or NEVER wanted before look so good on tv, in the grocery store, etc. I NEVER make cookies and hardly ever make sweets and I've been filling my Pinterest board this week with all sorts of cookies "I'd be making this week." Right.
- I'm tired of oranges. I'm tired of beans. I can see how a $1 box of mac and cheese looks real good after a few days. If you just want something different and it needs to be cheap. Especially toward the end of the month. It's only been 4 days for me!
- I miss cooking. It's not as fun if you don't have the ingredients you want.
- The cleanup is easy!! One bowl in the morning and one at night. Doesn't get much simplier than that. Saves time, energy, water and detergent.
- Waste not want not is never more true. I squeezed every last drop out of the fruit....used the zest. I've measured and used only what I needed.
But I'm 1/2 way through. Glad I am going through the experience. It really has opened my eyes to few things that I can change permanantly.
