susandennisYesterday there was very little work. Today there has been very little time to do much else.
Except now I'm caught up and finished with everything on my plate. Nice. It could change any minute but for now, nice.
I'm on a crusade to clean out my pantry, fridge and freezer. And I'm doing very well. My fridge is looking good. Nothing spoiling now or soon. My freezer is looking good, too. I like to have enough food for a week and a nice variety but I don't need a bunch of stuff that is going to die of freezer burn before I get to it. Right now, I'm in good shape. I have a couple of pork chops, a chicken boob, a fat steak and a thin one, some sausages and a selection of Stouffers. Plus some white rice, cheese rice and potatoes. And a few other bits and bobs.
My shelves are another story. Why do I need all these tins of fish? I have smoked oysters, and clams and herring and sardines. I need to crack these puppies open and eat 'em. Ditto with some of the other stuff. Can goods last a long time but still...
Then, my plan, once I get the larder under control is to shop way more efficiently. In the olden days - like when I left the house for work every day and only really had weekends to do stuff, I really only got to the store every month or so. I still shop like that which is ridiculous.
I can easily, now, get to the grocery store every week and that's they way I should shop. It is more financially reasonable. Plus, I'm growing more fond of fresh stuff - like fruit. So... that's the plan. For now. As soon as I eat up all this fucking fish.
Lunch tomorrow - herring and cream cheese on those crackers that have been on the shelf since the Nixon administration.
