vanillafluffyI think I need to declare a moratorium on grocery shopping. I just got a wild hair and inventoried my canned goods. I have 25 cans of assorted beans, for starters. At least ten cans of tomato products, and similar amounts of corn and green beans. This is thanks largely to the weekly food giveaway---most of the aforementioned stuff comes from there.
I feel a little queasy at the thought of all those beans---although I'll probably end up mixing them into bean-and-corn salad---I mean, I like beans, but I foresee eating them daily for the next month. Then, too, I've got rice stockpiled as well. beans and rice are good together...and I'm not hurting for pasta, either.
It's a question of cooking---I've gotten out of the habit. It's not like boiling water for pasta is complicated, just time-consuming, and I lean toward instant gratification. I'm starving---nuke it or slap it on a piece of bread and it's ready to eat. With the exception of fried eggs. Eggs are one thing I'll cook, even if I'm tired.
At this rate, I'll achieve lift-off by New Year's...twenty-five cans of propellant later....
