Tara ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'll be doing a lot of Trader Joe's I think. Although my other concern is that I'll be in training for this huge bike ride in mid-May so I have to be eating with that in mind. healthily.
TJ's has a LOT of food that is both microwave-able as well as healthy. That's what I love about them.
A lot of Trader Joe's stuff is nutritionally reasonable, and certainly doesn't create a lot of dishes! Me, I'd be eating takeout and toast, for at least the first few weeks...

lisa - if you can, tonight look at what you have in the freezer/pantry that you can make casseroles out of - (pasta, ground meat, veggies, cheese, with red sauce or cream soup - is the easiest thing I can think of). Cook up what you can. You can also cook up ham/turkey burgers and freeze them, or with less work, cook up several chicken breasts (in foil with veggies). you could do a good 2 weeks worth with not much work.
I am trying to clean out my freezer so I can have 10 - 12 meals in ther at all times.

Trip to TJ's on Sunday will also have to be on the weekend's menu for sure.
Also, cleaning out my freezer!

Then you could come to Bling!
Wait, no, wrong answer.
Thanks for the tips, msbelle!
The start date of this project has kind of snuck up on me. This spring is just crazy busy!

... to travel the world. Because I don't have the money for it.
I am a patient boy, I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait...

Flipping out and quitting my job, unfortunately, does not come with a cash prize, which may be the only way I can afford to fly into Richmond.
Oh, man, I'm freaking out a little now.
If it is any consolation, I emptied my whole kitchen in under a couple hours once. Keep in mind you don't have to do all the sorting *right now*. It might mean a mess of boxes in your diningroom for a bit, but if you can live with that, you can do all the sorting at a more leisurely pace.
