10 for 20 last night - 50%!

Today sort of depends on what DH decides to 'get done around the house.' I have a project that's free, we own everything we need for it. I hope he goes with that.

He's not going anywhere today. 11 for 21. FINALLY TIPPED THE SEESAW... 52.38%

Its a testament to how 'settled down' life has become in the last 18 years (since I married this guy) that I'm actually excited about a % of no-spend days.

Which means.... what? That he's boring? ;) That I am? :shock:

AH!!! That we're middle-aged :lol:

Alas, postage to return 3 of the 4 trial special chinrests has broken my streak, along with sending Mom some melatonin via amazon.

This too will be overcome but I'm at 11 for 23...aag, math! 47.8ish %.

But that's okay, tomorrow is a no-spend day, as is at least one of Thursday or Friday. Sooner or later I'll have to go for milk and, of all things, ketchup.

! Someone gave us a butternut squash a while back and I made a squash/carrot/pumpkin (I was in a beta carotene mood :lol: ) soup and cubed the remaining squash and froze it. Today, I made this

minus the coriander, because ? I don't know the last time I even HAD coriander, using a garam masala DH brought back from India and using brown lentils instead of red because I've been out of red since before we moved.

Even with the substitutions - this stuff is AMAZING.

It is always nice when substitutions work out. Congrats
