Yipes, Dana.
I got to do research at the Bodleian and I swear, I got inappropriate feelings in my ladyparts.
Heh. I mean, I get that; I love the feel of books, and there's something beautiful and awe-inspiring about really old books and manuscripts that have survived for so long. But I don't feel the need to keep or collect them, like I do with (some) contemporary books.
man. y'all have a lot more interesting work stories this week than I do.
Does anyone want to help me choose my CSA shares for fall?
I am wondering if I can possibly get away with not grocery shopping, which ends up eating about4 hours of time with the bus if I get the veggie share, egg share, chicken share (1 chicken per month),and stock up on pasta/rice/beans canned tomatos once before fall. I generally have meat for every meal, so that would be a change, and I do need a lot of protein,but the beef/pork shares seem tremendously expensive.
Oh, my.
Yes. Yes, it was.
Jeweled bindings. Only known copy in the world. Scrapbooks done in the 18th century by wealthy dilletantes who took apart their ancestral libraries to piece together new volumes.
I giggled a lot. My tour guide smiled in understanding.
Sophia, I am pretty sure I could get by on one chicken a month and a dozen eggs a week, protein-wise, especially if you stock up on beans before hand. Maybe get some spam or corned beef or something to keep in your pantry in case you want a little variety.
The thing I would miss under your plan is cheese, but that is more because I really love cheese to the point where doing without it feels like a hardship even though I don't need it nutritionally probably at all. You could stock up on hard cheese and/or shredded cheese to keep in your freezer, though, if that's an issue.
Love the Baltimore compound! It would be a helluva commute for me, though.

Even the chicken share seems expensive to me, compared to the supermarket. It may be worth it to you, though? The beef share is $6-$8/lb, which maybe isn't actually so bad?

I love the Buffistas, because no one spells this wrong.
Maybe set a goal of only going to the grocery store once a month, or however often? I would also miss cheese.
I could get a cheese share as well? They also have coffee and bread. I really just want it all! I think it is expensive, but not expensive as buying my lunch and dinner every night, which is what I tend to do when I am doing theatre, because I can't deal with using my one day off (Saturday) to spend hours on the bus.
But maybe once per month is good, and not get the chicken.
