it doesn’t really suit me. but, i’ve been trying.
on friday, we went to the west side antiques mall (it used to be much further west than it is now) and i managed to escape only spending $15 on a book. unfortunately, it is not brand new nor would i sell it if it were. it’s an analysis and explanation of all of carroll’s puzzles and riddles in his writing.
after spending two hours weeding through treasures, we went to menards to get hardware to finally fix the kitchen faucet. it’d been unattached from the sink for a while and i jb welded it which only lasted a month so it seemed time to fix it for good… especially after the mess we discovered under the sink. :/
we stopped at jeni st o the way home saturday night and got two huge lake perch. they were a pound a piece. the butcher-guy was surprised that we wanted two, but we saved one for last night. i made instant mashed ‘tatoes and vegan chicken gravy. we watched the book of eli but i didn’t make it much past the bar fight before zonking out.
yesterday, i whipped up this week’s lunch: a huge pan of lasagna. i’ve come to love bags of frozen vegetables, for some reason. i just cooked ’em up and threw them in with some cheese and spaghetti sauce and noodles and baked it. $5 worth of ingredients for over a week’s worth of lunch. i’m hoping to get matt to try some so he can experience vegetables in a yummy way.
side note: i want to get some more pin-making supplies and come up with a cute design to attach to a pair of bittens (or anything, really) when i knit them for someone.
