Could we get another hot, sunny day without rain? Maybe today will be like yesterday and we will. It was over 100F in my driveway yesterday and the heat stuck around all evening too. It was still quiet warm when I went to bed.
I spent Tuesday morning at the computer, then picking up D1 from her trip. I got two pickups in on the way home from the airport. Took a bit longer than I thought it would, so afterwards I stayed home and cooked.
I cooked taco meat for dinner using a liquid pouch of flavoring, and then cooked two more taco dinners of ground beef, and two 1 1/3 dinners of plain ground beef. I vac sealed and froze everything but last night’s dinner. I’ll take them to the BOL with me as quick dinner options. Warm up the meat, add a sauce or flavor packet and pasta, rice, or tortillas and you’ve got a really quick meal without much effort. Granted that ground meat skillet meals aren’t that hard to start, it makes it even easier and quicker. It means I can have a hamburger based meal as easily as one from canned chicken too.
Since my wife’s been trying the sou vide cooker on chicken and vac sealing the result, adding some ready to eat beef to the freezer makes sense. I like to eat, and I like having options.
Having stacks gives me options. Get some of your own!
Today I’ll be doing more pickups. Prices have fallen again and I won more stuff than I expected to. One auction (the fraudsters) I’m basically winning almost everything I bid on with an opening bid, usually $1, or $2. They aren’t high value items, but I like saving $20 or $25 on things I’d buy anyway. The auctioneer at one of my pickups said she was doing the same thing. Good for us, not good for the seller, but they did it to themselves by acting unethically. There’s a lesson in there.
Lessons, like things that can be turned into money, are lying around everywhere, you just have to learn to see them.
Anything that helps me stack, helps.
