More projects completed:
23. Sprayed yard for mosquito control before they hatched. Hope to stay ahead of the problem this wet summer.
24. Altered two pairs of shorts so that they fit better and I am happier wearing them.
25. Hubby washed the front entry and siding. He also touched up some paint chips around the door using paint on hand.
Other accomplishments & all seem to be food related LOL.
- Made a coleslaw dish to take to the neighborhood potluck and summer party with what was on hand (green & red cabbage, green onions, red pepper, carrots and a vinegar dressing). It was a hit.
- Used up extra ripe bananas, applesauce and walnuts to make muffins
- Had 5 people over for lunch before a play matinee. We had fallen out of the habit of having people over to eat and are trying to get back to doing that more.
- Made a menu plan and followed it. No dinners out again this week.
- I am trying to break my going out for coffee & a treat every afternoon habit and managed not to do it at all this week.
Its all progress, food related or not!! :)
ReplyDeleteTrue - and we do love to eat!
DeleteI bet the cafe habit is hard to break! Glad the lunch and play went well.
ReplyDeleteIt is a hard habit to break and I am sitting here right now thinking of going up and getting an iced coffee. I want to do it once a week or so and not daily.
DeleteI have been reading so many depressing articles about the sorry state of American diets -not reducing diets, just everyday eating- that I'm beginning to think of cooking at home as a luxury item.
ReplyDeleteAs to cafe habits -- are you biking or walking there? One of my favorite bike ride things is to ride along a trail that just happens to have a coffee shop at the end. I still pay a silly amount for a coffee, but at least I've gotten some exercise.
That sounds like a great reward for bike riding. When the weather permits I walk up about half the time to my local coffee shop. I do like to go there and read over a coffee to have a change of scenery so I drive on those occasions.
