I was perusing the Dollar Stretcher website and I read this excellent piece of advice for those preparing school lunches every morning. In a nutshell, it said to prepare "prepackaged" lunch bits on the weekends. I'm a big advocate of less waste, make it yourself, control the sodium and fat by preparing your own - that sort of thing. So, I made a bunch of stuff for Gabe's lunches this weekend. I was rather tired, but kind of proud of myself:
- hard cooked eggs (for which he requires hand-drawn faces)
- pumpkin bread (baked the fresh pumpkin myself!)
- oatmeal cranberry cookies (from the Trader Joe's freezer section)
- toasted pumpkin seeds
- chocolate pudding
- popcorn - bagged it in little bags, too
- and....honey butter, for his morning waffle
Dang, I'm good!Speaking of waffles, we picked up a belgian waffle maker at the recent garage sale weekend here for a buck. Makes great waffles, too. I loves me a good bargain.
I don't plan on living in this area forever, and I feel a bit ashamed that I haven't taken advantage of some of the rich opportunities here. Specifically, I haven't done any visits to local historical spots. This should be rectified. In that spirit, I'm collecting here a list of places to visit and things to do. Please make suggestions as you see fit!
