when you are having fun. These last few rainy days have given me lots of time to spend on inside projects...including a huge pot of spaghetti we've been eating on. Hubby put a beef roast with vegetables in the slow cooker yesterday and it was really good. He used the last of the wine and lots of fresh garlic and after smelling it cook all afternoon we were ready to eat when it got done.
Little Man stayed with us over the weekend. We threw marshmallows in each other's mouth and had a very large time. I fixed him some coupon bacon and French toast sticks for breakfast. He likes to dip them in warm syrup and melted jelly. So does hubby.
My daughter gave me about 3 pounds of cheddar cheese and I made a big bowl of pimento cheese to snack on. Love those freebies! I shredded the cheese, added a jar of drained chopped pimentoes, salad dressing, a touch of Worcestershire sauce, a couple of spoons of olive juice, salt and pepper. We like olives on top and have been munching on that with pretzel crackers I got on sale with a coupon for $.50 a box.
Nobody has brought up THE QUESTION yet...but I'm sure we'll get around to discussing it soon.
I have made a game out of buying groceries for 2 people on less than $100 a month. It's a challenge but not as hard as you'd think. A little imagination goes a long way.

It's Official
The next full moon will be April 28, and we will finally get to plant our garden. Planting by the full moon may sound like an old wive's tale, but I'm an old wife and it really works. The garden seems to flourish a little better when we do that.
Fried chicken it was for supper last night, for less than $2.00. The chicken was $.47 lb., and the steamed veggies in sauce were $1.28 with a coupon. Pretty good for two people. We had those German chocolate cake balls for dessert. I really could have eaten the cake balls for dinner and left the chicken alone, but something about that is just not right.
Tonight, liver with bacon and onions.
