Overzealous

There’s a new market in town called Sunflower Farmers Market and they carry a lot of produce and hippie food. I noticed the other day they had quinoa on sale for cheap and when I was again in the neighborhood I swung in to grab some of that cheap miracle grain.

Only I pulled the lever too hard and dispensed four pounds of bulk quinoa into my baggie. I shrugged at my mistake, tied off my vessel and finished my shopping with it perched on my hip like a Grain Baby.

Once I returned home a new situation arose. I have no containers in which to store four pounds of quinoa. Luckily, I found one that stored three and a half pounds of it just fine.

3.5 lbs of quinoa in a bear jar. That's how I roll.

Resourcefulness

I’m not too lazy to go grocery shopping, I’m purposefully using up what I have.

Right.

For breakfast I scrounged up brown sugar oatmeal muffins (miraculously I had all the ingredients). Right now I’m making myself pesto quinoa and griddled peaches. Kids will have Chick’n sandwiches and French fries.

Another meal made, another shopping trip postponed.

It’s like an episode of Ready, Set, Cook all up in here. Random things left to eat: brussels sprouts, okra and kidney beans. Noticeable voids: milk, bread.
