We went to Cullman Saturday. I got the mail and went to the Farmer's Market where I bought:
A mess of green beans $2
dozen eggs $4
peaches--seven for $6
zucchini $4 with yellow squash added to make it $6,
2 yellow squash
I used coupons for free produce, and they are in $6 denominations, so I get something to make up the extra cost, hence the 2 squash.
The green beans came from the guy selling eggs. I asked him if I could just get $2 of green beans. The other guy at the booth started bagging up a whole mess of green beans and I reminded him I was only buying $2 worth. He said, "Well, this looks like $2 worth of beans to me." So, he was being generous because I am a regular customer and love to talk chickens. Good deal!
I went to a store and bought tomatoes and Vidalia onions. The market only had green tomatoes, and I am not a fan of green tomatoes. I should have bought a couple to fry for Tommy.
Saturday night, we had meatballs and green beans cooked in foil in the oven and sliced tomatoes. It was delicious. The tomatoes should have been added to meatballs and beans. Tommy like the whole green beans--"different way to cook (whole) and different taste (olive oil and garlic), good." The meatballs were cooked and frozen, so just needed heating.
On Friday, I "marched" for 10 minutes, a new record for me. Tonight, I will do the same. Okay, it is getting late and I am about to drop, so tomorrow.
Saturday morning, I cooked breakfast to avoid buying Hardee's sausage and biscuit. Tommy ate bread and two sausages. I had three scrambled eggs and two sausage patties. Next time, I will only have one sausage patty. The Johnsonville Sausage patties were on sale this week, so I have three packages of premade sausages.
After sleeping an hour and a half on Friday night, I took a two and a half hour nap, getting up much sooner than I really desired. Hopefully, I can work my way back to a semi-normal sleep pattern.
Saturday was a really good day.
You are seeing gradual improvement with the marching!
ReplyDeleteOne,
DeleteAnd, I am so happy to see my stamina improve.
Maybe now that you're marching time is up, you could add more outdoor walking for variety-5 minutes and back?
ReplyDeleteSAM,
DeleteThat is a nice thought, but my back is not improving for that.
Since when is $4 for a dozen eggs a good buy?
ReplyDeleterhynes,
DeleteIt is a good buy when the hens are raised in good conditions.
that does sound like a good day, especially the onions.
ReplyDeleteUrspo,
DeleteUsually, I buy several pounds to dehydrate and put into pint canning jars. Then, I buy another several pounds and keeping storing them until I have what I think will last a year. They are so good.
Great on the marching.
ReplyDeletekim,
DeleteThanks! I want to do more of that each day.
