It’s nice to have a little bit of breathing room in our financial situation. The mortgage has gone through and we have a few days until another bill because of the holiday. Still I’m not going grocery shopping until after payday, and we’ll see how that happens.

I’m so incredibly grateful for all the help and support we received over the past few days. I’m going to keep the tarot special open until July 12th, because that’s the last date I’ve already got someone booked as wanting a tarot reading, and so it’s only fair.

We’ll see what else things bring.

I’ve been learning how to stretch food because of not going grocery shopping and a friend of mine suggested I look at a website called SuperCook and already I’m in love. It’s great. You add to a list the ingredients that you have and it automatically pulls up compatible recipes. For example just before I put in a bunch of ingredients and because I put in chicken, curry powder, milk it started bringing up various curry recipes the top one said “do you also have garlic powder?” and I clicked yes, and voila a recipe.

Then I was plugging in cocoa powder, flower and eggs because I was wanting to see if it could suggest a good brownie recipe and it asked if I had ricotta cheese, and I got this great recipe for low fat muffins using ricotta cheese and low fat milk and canola oil, and they’re delicious!

The munchkin definitely seemed to enjoy them.

I’m bookmarking supercooks for future meals, not just when I’m short on groceries and can’t go shopping. Everything was really good and a lot healthier than me just doing a special fried rice, even with the chocolate muffins.
