Old Mother Hubbard, your cupboard is bare! When E is gone, I often play the “how long can I go before I have to food shop” game. Sometimes it makes me get creative, and put together some interesting meals, but I have been known to go up to a month. Keep in mind, I don’t stock up at Costco before he leaves. It’s just a regular shop, and then a personal challenge. Why? It probably started because I didn’t know how to cook and I was a workaholic who could eat out at least once every other day. Now that I am a stay-at-home with AJ, it isn’t as easy. AJ notices when our diet deviates from the norm and says “no mo…” Ok, well today is the day that often comes: The day I have to stock up. On the upside? I still have enough in the large freezer that I don’t have to get that kind of thing. On the upside? I can keep my food organized, and not waste any! Oh, and I always go hungry to the store so that I buy stuff that I know I’ll want to eat later :)!
