1449 Dinners to Go
I've been growing herbs and vegetables since this summer. Some pineapples, basil, lettuces, tomatoes, hot peppers, celery, parsley, sunflowers... I get bored too easily to grow many flowers, but I've been keeping a variegated mum alive since September. I've been adding fresh basil to everything and I recently successfully rooted a rosemary sprig a friend gave me. I dried a bunch of the rosemary she gave me just too, just to have on hand. I stored the dried rosemary in empty Bonne Maman jars I washed out.
Dinner 10 - Our youngest was feeling sad and wanted to go out for pasta. A nostalgic brand of my youth (Fazolis) has re-opened so I got baked meatballs and salad, and they still serve unlimited free breadsticks in the dining room if you eat there. People think Breadstix in Glee was based on Olive Garden, but to me, it was clearly an homage to Fazoli's.
January 31st (Dinner 11) - a friend of mine is having a hard time, so I brought her some cold medicine and hung out doing a jigsaw puzzle with her. Then I convinced her to go to Wendy's with me for a chocolate Frosty (for her) and dinner for me. I had a chicken sandwich, some fries, and a coke.
It's a volleyball weekend, but hopefully, I can figure out a way to eat at least one dinner at home. I actually hate going out so much, but lately, I am prioritizing tiny boosts to our mental health over cost savings analysis. Let's see how that goes.
1450 dinners to go.
