I still have what looks like enough money for groceries
May I suggest tacos?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have also figured out that, given what I know about my income and obligations for the first half of August, I should be spending no more than $200/month on food (and anything else that isn't bills, really) and that's a bummer. $50/week is just not a lot of groceries. I think I figure this out every month and am sad about it every time like it's brand new information. Living within my means is hard. When I just couldn't live within my means it was, in some ways, easier because if I know I'm going deeper in debt no matter what, what's going a little deeper a little faster matter, but the difference between staying afloat and sinking seems like a more important line to not cross if I can manage it. Most first world problem ever?

Oh, geez, no -- I think food budgeting is fraught and for damn good reason.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In food news, Turkey Hill did a survey and America's favorite ice cream flavor is "choco mint chip" (not sure if they mean mint ice cream with chocolate chips - which is what I'd guess - or chocolate ice cream with mint chips). In bad ice cream news, Kraft is going to sell a limited edition macaroni and cheese ice cream. um ....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Have you considered Parmesan cheese ice cream? [link]

I will now. That sounds intriguing.
I am less intrigued by mac and cheese ice cream but I would try it if given the opportunity. Might be good, who knows?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I know. I know it would not be good.

Now I don't know what to think. My instinct is to believe Dana, but mac and cheese casts a pretty compelling spell (I have tried a number of dishes that include mac and cheese in some unlikely way that are not so much bad as just not worth the effort and I have clearly not learned my lesson)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I would try it if given the opportunity
I'm like 95% sure it will not be good but I would try it once just to say I did.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I do not want savory ice cream. No thank you.
- t that sucks re:budgeting. Is there any way to reduce other expenses?
The last 2 days I have felt increasingly bad as the day went on. Headache, chills inside (no fever), sluggish, slightly upset stomach. Yesterday after I walked the dogs and fed them, I laid out in the recliner with a throw over me and drank water and listened to podcasts. Around 8 I fell asleep, so when I woke up I took the dogs out one more time and went to bed. Felt great this morning, got up early and everything. Now I am yuck again.
