Wow, I haven't posted here in a long time, have I?
It seemed like Sheri was the only person who read this blog and now she can have gluten again (as far as I know) and summer hit and so I've let it go.
Now I'm seriously thinking of getting into Once A Month Cooking. For me it might end up being once a week cooking. I don't think I'm that committed yet. Or that energetic. I really need to start eating better and so does my family. Most days when dinner rolls around I'm too tired and unmotivated to cook and so is David.
I've been looking at recipezaar for OAMC recipes. I was very excited to find out that the shopping list option is available with the free membership. I think I'm going to do 3-4 beef recipes one week, then 3-4 chicken recipes the next. I'll have to let you know how it goes. If I like (or don't like) any of the recipes, I'll review them here.
Also, our electricity went out Thursday night at about 8 pm - a lovely way to end our 21st Anniversary! David and I did have a good day other than that, though. The kids said it went off and on several times while we were gone during the day. Once it went out after we got home it stayed off until about 4:00 pm on Friday. Luckily it wasn't a hot day, I was more concerned about all the food in our fridge and freezer. They were both pretty full.
My very nice boss Joe let us use his generator, so our food didn't spoil. That made me happy. It also got me thinking. We should probably have food storage - or at least a good portion of it - that won't spoil if the electricity goes out. And what about cooking? Our stove is electric, so we couldn't use it. We did have lots of flashlights, but no non-electric radio. I guess we have some preparedness things to work on.
Ironic that I started thinking about doing freezer meals now, isn't it?
