Today is chocolate cake day, and it's still up in the air if I will make some:) Maybe I'll pass some down to one of the [MANY] pregos I know who might need a little chocolate in their life.
And in other news, we used our first gift card. Let it be marked forever and indelibly in the annals of history---January 26, 2011, our little family ate out for the first time in over three weeks. Actually, we ate in. Jeff got take-out with one of our three cards (so tally it...we're down to two...two cards hahahaha). What did we get? The all-American fast food---McDonalds. I had a southern chicken sandwich (with lettuce and tomato) and some EXTREMELY salty fries. I'm thinking my tastebuds are in the process of regressing back to a time when we didn't have salted EVERYTHING. We broke down mostly because I think we were both suffering from headaches and "I don't wannas." That's fine.
Tonight is a black bean soup recipe that a gal-pal passed along. It has bacon, and as we all know, you can't go wrong with bacon, butter or chocolate.
Life is good and we're back on the wagon.

Jan 18, 2011---Winnie the Pooh Day (or now we are [on day] 18)
I've been avoiding fast-food rows.
We have a few roads in town (mostly the main streets) that are simply laden with restaurants. I read somewhere that our county has the third-highest amount of disposable income in the nation, so of course restauranteurs want to give you many, many choices. That being said, I've seen a ton of restaurants go under lately. And that being said, I still see many opportunities for me to blow it.
That and I feel like I've sent the women's movement back to 1895, to a day with no microwaves, and where food is on the table with a smile when the breadwinner comes home.
I've changed how I derive my menu this week. Have you ever looked for recipes from Kraft (please note that I'm not affiliated with Kraft at all)? I've found a few things (that I alter mostly to suit my/my fam's needs). This week I pulled recipes from their healthy living category.
Tonight, we shall be dining on Zesty Shrimp (slightly modified).
Maybe I'll put on some heels and pearls just to mess with my head some more.

Jan 16, 2011---National Fig Newton Day (and Mr. Microwave, why have you forsaken me?)
I think I got a dose of radiation today.
I was your-crowaving (as my son used to call microwaving) some broccoli, I opened the microwave....and it was still going!!!! So now, my machine I use every day for everything from morning oatmeal to aftter-dinner brownies is b r o k e n.
My dh says that it's only a $6 switch, but...we'll see how this turns out.
