Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Tonight I'm making a chicken dinner, which will become matzo ball soup tomorrow.

Also bought apples to bake with a dash of raspberry liquer.

SO HAPPY that my oven is working again.

I'm making pigs in a blanket because I've got in the bad habit of not having anything instantly edible and then I just end up not eating and it ends in tears, literally. I'll have chicken for dinner.

Depending on what the weather does tomorrow, I may make a TJs run and/or make some black bean soup. And clean. Mnerg. I need to cook more.

I am getting a TiVo for Xmas! I sent an email to all my family members with a link for preordering, and said, "This is what I want. Please chip in and order it for me." And they did! I have scared the cats several times by randomly yelling out "TIVO!" all day.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Whohoo, Tivo! You're gonna love it, Sue.

Whoo-hoo for Canadian TiVo -- about damn time!

not your mom's socks.

We desperately need a TJs run. Sarameg - do you trek up to Towson or have they finished the downtown one yet? Just kidding (that's still a bare plot of land, I'm pretty sure).

DH is making couscous with pine nuts, spinach, tomatoes, and cheese - all gooey and casserole-y. And we're having onion quesadillas too. Though I could make that into a fritata without trying too hard. Hmm.

I made chicken noodle soup for lunch because the soup pot was clean. Possibly I need to run the dishwasher.

I'm managing to cut down my monthly expenses a lot. I feel less panicky about it. If I can keep my expenses down I might actually be able to start saving money again.

Tj's run is on the bill for me tomorrow. Cherry cider, mmm.

Today I made the loveliest soup with TJ's faux-meatballs, rice, carrots, celery, onion/garlic, in a creamy tomato base. Oh, and some dill I froze over the summer. Very nice indeed. Very comforty and nutritious.

I wish my DH would eat soup. sigh No soups, no casseroles, no sauces. He's so lucky I married him anyway.
