    Menu planning

    On a good organized week (and depending how low we are on money too) I plan out my menu for the week or two ahead. I go through the freezer and pantry to see what we have and what can be made w/ it... then go through the sales ads and see if there are any great bargains... then see what...

    LOL! Funny! When we lived in our old house, I wouldn't talk about it in the house (on the phone, or on the computer) but now that I"m far away I mention it occasionally. The funny (or not) thing about it all was that DH does not/DID not believe in ghosts. It's totally against his whole...
