Live Modelling & Dinner Menus
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
Last night was a quiet night, I listened to my favourite podcast and watched a tv show that I downloaded.
I made a carrot ginger soup which didn't really turn out as I ran out of cumin and i felt it left the soup tasting very bland. My sweetie and I said it tasted like baby food. So I now have about 12 cups of soup which I dont like, so I will freeze it in margarine containers and bring it to Food Not Bombs next Sunday to give away. It's not BAD, it's just that i'm picky and I couldn't get this tasting quite right without the cumin. So my sweetie had grilled cheese and still managed to eat some of the soup with it, while I had a small portion of mashed potatoes, a cup of broccoli and a veggie dog without the bun..mmm. Tonight I'm making scrambled tofu with roasted sweet potatoes! I can't wait, I love scrambled tofu but never really make it.
From 8-9 tonight I venture off to do live modelling for a sculpting/drawing workshop. I just remembered last night that I had to go tonight, I usually get booked about a month in advance. This is very good timing as I am pretty broke and the $25 I get for an hour of sitting around will really come in handy. :)
I should really start thinking about writing down a dinner menu for the week. That way I can purchase groceries based on what I will make. This week is supposed to be the bigger grocery shopping trip but I might skip it altogether and see what I can create with what I already have on hand. I realized that i've collected a lot of canned goods this past month as a lot was on sale and i stocked up. I also have an ample amount of frozen veggies & tofu. Another idea is to make a list of the loss leader items at grocery stores and just purchase those and make something based on that. Flyers come out Thursday so I'll have a look!
Anyone ever write out weekly menus?
