This one’s a concoction of my own fevered imagination and a desire to get more fresh veggies into our diet. All ingredients given here are suggestions, make up your own mix based on what you have available/like! All times and temperatures are estimated, you know your stove better than I do.
Last month I had very little after bills. This month, I have even less. Combine the $570 oil bill, the $320 electric bill, the quarterly $120 water bill, the quarterly $156 sewer bill, and then add in all the other usual bills and I have to say we’re pretty much bust.

On friday, I started sneezing at 8am. I didn’t slow down until 8pm. Despite working from home and generally avoiding sick people, there was one inlet for infection that I forgot: I pick up medications at my local pharmacy.
