So I'm still attempting to eat all in my fridge without wasting or throwing anything out. I'm eating my stirfry for breakfast (yes, as BF would agree with you, anything very not-breakfasty for breakfast may not be orthodox, and to some slightly gross. It's all food to me, though, so I'll do it anyways. hehe). I still have enough for one meal, though.
I got a call yesterday from a classmate of mine I havent seen, well, since the semester ended. I was so excited to have heard from someone from school (once summer came about, it seems we all lose touch), and I'll be doing an early dinner with her pre-work at Primanti's (bar and grill, fantastic sandwiches). I'm alotting $15 including tip, for a sandwich and a beer. On second thought, I might just get a basket of fries. That'll knock the price down a couple bucks, I'll just eat something small before I go. I know I said I wasn't going to go out to eat until vacation, but I consider this more of an entertainment expense than a restaurant expense because I'm spending time with a friend.
Sooo. I'll be making White Bean and Sausage Soup with Peppers for lunch and saving the leftovers. This is another silver palate recipe, though I'll be doing some substitutes. I have a bag of mixed beans that I've had since before we moved. For some reason, I haven't found a recipe to try with them, so I figured to substitute the mixed beans for the white beans. It wont be the prettiest of colors, I'm sure (you puree the soup before adding the sausage and peppers), but I'm sure it will taste just fine.
Well, that's about it for today. I'll cook, I'll go to the bank downtown, and get dinner with my friend before work. Then work. We have a party of 35 coming in tonight, so it's going to be a busy night. Yay US open. Cross your fingers I earn some moo-lah!
Cooking, cooking, cooking :)

Do SOMETHING with it before it spoils or don't buy it!
Now for the disclaimers:
--Hubby loves to grow vegetables in the backyard, but doesn't like to eat them!! For example, he went loco with planting too many lettuces this year, many were fed to the 2 guinea pig pets. He planted a peach tree and doesn't like peaches (what's up with that?) So I can them and use them for pies or cobbler in the winter.
--The throw away was for 2 black bananas which normally get made into muffins. This time I decided my time was more valuable and didn't make the muffins.
--I'm also getting tired of eating whatever my kids leave or don't like as leftovers. I might slack off in that respect and increase the throw away pile.
Have a great time!
