Oh, that macaroni and cheese was SO good - probably since I'd been eagerly awaiting its consumption since Saturday! We had green pepper slices, thanks to neighbor Shearin's late-yielding garden, and the ubiquitous carrot sticks. This morning I started the potato soup for tonight, from that huge bag of potatoes Ken bought the other day. We'll reheat it and add the milk for supper tonight, throw in what's left of the frozen shrimp, accompanied by the rest of the homemade bread and remaining salad fixings. Yum.
Looking ahead to the rest of the week, plans include pizza once again, maybe with some onions and what's left of the fresh mozzarella cheese. Surely spaghetti or rigatoni will also make an appearance, either with Ken's frozen sauce or from the can that's on the shelf. Usually I doctor it up, maybe with some of those nice dried mushrooms and - SOME GRATED CARROTS!! Maybe that will use them up!!
Once again I'm rethinking how long this project will last. I looked at the pantry again this morning, and there's a TON of food there. It is a bountiful pantry, though I didn't fully realize that at first. We will be eating down for some time...that in itself is a humbling thought.
Some of you have commented that you've been inspired to do your own 'eating down' project, or at least try and be more conscientious about planning your shopping trips. Whatever you do, I'd love to hear about it. I think we're all better for learning from each other, and it's amazing what you have to teach me. See you tomorrow.
