The sun is out, beautiful cumulous clouds fly through the sky, and we are
recovering from a weekend of being social.
We had a great weekend.
I pick through endless Holiday pictures to share something new with you
every day. Often I find just pictures of
the wreath, the tree, and a grandchild or two.
Two years we took cruises down to Mexico, but, though we had fun, the
images aren’t very Holidayish. Next
Christmas we will go again. If they are
shooting at each other, we won’t go ashore. Then again, if there is warfare, I might get some great shots to share.
We discovered we weren’t saving enough money…eating out too often is one of
the causes. Except for sharing a Mexican
holiday soup with our friends, I’m determined to serve more dinners here. High protein - low cost dinners are oxymoronic,
but it’s what I am aiming for.
If you all have any suggestions, I’m all ears..

They look like dolls, not real girls. Lovely picture. And, beans are cheap and good protein.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are, but you don't want to be around us when we have beans. lol
DeleteI like the photo, and it's an expensive time of year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and we often shop at Ross or thrift stores. This year we did some shopping at JC Pweenneys.
DeleteNot sure how to cook oxymorons
ReplyDeleteI give lessons. :)
DeleteMexico sounds a bit scary though it may all calm down next year.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were dolls also.
Good luck,I am cooking for one so you don't want to know.
Mexico is really scarry right now.
DeleteNo dolls. :) The girl in the middle is ours. Yes, I want to know.
I'm afraid we eat out too often as well. It becomes a habit that is hard to break.
ReplyDeleteYou might set aside a day each week where you make larger batches of food...soups, casseroles, and freeze them for throughout the week. I have spent this month emptying the small and larger freezer to use up food that has been preserved way too long. Also you might find some quick recipes for those days when you have been out and about and are too tired to cook.
