Friday Celebration Post -the first!

[jamethiel]

I start early because I am early! It's the end of the week! Let Joy and Celebration be unconfined!

Come and tell me--what progress have you made towards your goals this week? Finances OR frugal living, or even buying something that you've saved up towards!

My kitchen is fully of foodstuffs just bought! This doesn't sound quite like progress, except that everything I bought tonight was on the list, and 90% of it gets used tomorrow in a big cook-and-freeze bash. (Along with about an equal volume of things-I-already-had-and-gee-I-should-use-that-up....)

I thought of three more recipes in the store. I didn't buy the ingredients for any of them, since I have already planned enough that I think I will be tired of cooking when I am done tomorrow, and would just not get around to any more.

I am inordinately proud of myself now. I have, either in the freezer quick-freezing or in the fridge cooling down for same, 12 servings (maybe more) worth of chicken noodles, 4 servings of plain noodles (cooked in broth), 10 burritos (chicken and black bean), 7 tortilla pizzas, 11 cups of chicken broth, and enough chunk and shredded chicken for probably 10-12 sandwiches. I also have a couple bell peppers (bought more than needed for the pizza) sliced to eat, and a loaf of foccaccia bread.

I still have more tortillas to cook up (purely because when I bought tortillas, the big container with half again as much as I needed was on sale for slightly less than the amount I needed in smaller containers), which I'll do tomorrow or Sunday, but this has been very productive.

But I do need to find the noodles-only container, as I think I mislabelled it as containing chicken and noodles. Heh.

Congrats! I kind of... had an amazingly busy weekend, but I'll do a menu and shopping list next week.
