We are coping with an ice storm here in Oklahoma today and tomorrow. Thus far, we haven’t been hit very hard but there’s been a lot of moisture today and it’s sure to be icy tomorrow. We are currently safe and cosy at home with a nice fire in the fireplace and full tummies. For…
Sad Times on Apple Tree Farm…
We lost seven of our eight chickens last night and have absolutely no idea what happened. Their pen was secure and no evidence of how they got out. I’ll spare you all the details but suffice it to say, I’m pretty saddened by the loss. I also feel really sorry for the one remaining chicken….
Day Seven…
David had to go to town to wash his truck so he offered to pick up the items I needed. Here is what I sent him for: Braums (regional dairy store): cheddar cheese (8 oz.) – $1.591/2 gal. milk – $1.993 pk. tri-color peppers – $2.992 baking potatoes – $1.221 roma tomato – $.293 bananas…
Day Six (yesterday)…
I didn’t get around to posting yesterday but am proud to say I spent no money. And this was despite the fact we went to Oklahoma City to a Ren Faire. David bought me a $9 pair of earrings for my wench costume but that was all we bought. We even resisted the siren call…
Day Five…
Despite the challenge, we are eating quite well. For dinner tonight I made chicken breasts in Parisian wine sauce, glazed carrots, mashed potato casserole and a green salad. I sautéed the boneless chicken breasts (seasoned with garlic salt, pepper, Creole seasoning and Herbs de Provence) in a combination of olive oil and butter. When nearly…
Day Four…
My challenge is going well and I’m discovering all sorts of stuff in my freezer. Today I put some boneless beef ribs in the crockpot along with 1/2 an onion and some homemade bbq sauce: Beam Me Up BBQ Sauceketchupmustardliquid smokeworchestershire saucegarlic saucePickapeppa saucea little Jim Beam I had a meeting tonight right at dinner…
Day Three…
I ended up not even going to town for choir tonight because David was returning from his business trip and I wanted to be home. He ate on his way home from the airport and Chris and I did our own thing. I had some leftover rice from Monday night so I put some grated…
Day Two…
It seems rather silly to even post about this on such a momentous occasion but I can be silly with the best of them. Today I had to make a bank deposit for David who is still out of town. While in town I bought the following at Braum’s: lettuce – $1.69 2 tomatoes –…
Dinner…
David isn’t all that fond of fish so when he is away, Chris and I often take the opportunity to have fish or seafood of some sort. For some reason I can’t recall, I had bought a jar of Archer Farms brand basil pesto cream sauce at Target a couple of months ago. I’d never…
