They left me alone near books... I couldnt help myself... I only HALF of my pay check.. >>; I.. I think thats better then my whole check...
Luckily the new job has a shitty selection so its not tempting but this Ollies had a really good variety... And they were all SUPER cheap!
Farming, Camping, Herbalism, Gardens, Art, Fantasy, Horror... I was in hog heaven...
Then I got dragged away, told I looked like a rabid dog, and taken to the tiny little farmers market... There was like 6 stands...
I spent the rest of my check on potatoes, strawberries, eggs, and tomatoes.. Not many tomatoes..
So I spent my off day (a sunny, humid one) outside on 2 electrical burners. I made jam, jelly, fruit fillings... Tomato sauce, soup, and stewed... Canned boiled potato (its like instant mashed potatoes, season, cook it, store in a little water and then dump, smash with fork, splash of milk and butter, done. Not quite as fast as the flakes but it taste a lot better). I made a bunch of baked potatoes that I now freeze (always cook them first or they turn black). I put others in storage for later use.
The eggs went in the out door fridge since they had never been in a fridge (fun fact, eggs can sit room tempt as long as they arent put in a cooler of any kind. But our room tempt is a bit hot at this time so I figured the crappy outdoor fridge would work better). I also attempted a potato loaf of bread. A bit too heavy, will have to try a new recipe.
But yah.. This is why you dont leave me alone in public.
Now im going to try and start potatoes in a bin... Because I love potatoes and onions... Especially with a fatty seasoned meat like sausage...
Dont give me those looks either, I am part Irish but im also dirt poor... I learned to love cheap foods and potatoes are better then ramen (in my opinion... But I ate nothing but ramen for 5 months straight. I now hate the packaged stuff. It has to be the more expensive cup or handmade noodles... I even use different noodles in my ramen bowls.)
So Kiss Me, Im Irish. And dont forget the booze too... Booze goes well with potatoes.. Yum.
