Well, week five was a short week, and filled with good food, and good company, and maybe just a touch to much Sherry on one night đŸ™‚
So overview of the month, first a big shout out to C.D. for staying with this, considering that she ran out of fats very early on, honestly I think I would have been down right snarly if I had been as limited as she was in this way. I will bow my head and say wow to Callie for creating such amazing sounding menu’s while on the challange.
I think we had it easy to be honest because of a combo of the farm fresh stuff( Milk, Eggs, Greenhouse greens/fresh meat) tied into the fact that we have the freezers and a large amount of canned goods from last years garden harvest.
So last night DH needed to pick up critter food and we got our cravings, so I got a bag of fresh apples, and DH got a tub of Chocolate Carmel Icecream. So tell me, what is the first thing you guys are going to feast on?
I was pleased with how well our pantry held up, but I would not be thinking that if I didn’t have extra’s coming in daily from on the farm and I know it.



Thanks for including me on this! It was tough at times and we had a couple lapses as noted but overall we did pretty well.
First thing on my agenda today is eggs(which I picked up yesterday in anticipation) for breakfast, followed by a trip to the grocery store! The Russian has already been to the corner store for some coffee. I think there will be a bbq’d steak with salad greens on the menu tonight.
My wrap up will be up soon!
I HAVE been snarly. And first thing this morning, I was at Sobeys buying a loaf of bread and a pound of butter. Oh, and a tub of frosting for the cake I made last night.
But … here’s the funny thing, and I need to expand more in a post – I walked throughout the store, thinking “Nope, don’t need that, don’t need that, don’t need that.” I think we’ll be continuing this, just slightly less strict.
You’re rich in direct relation to the things with which you can do without.
