Well, have gained 5 pounds back!

It's the fig newton's fault, not mine!!! So what if I'm bought 3 packages and ate them in the last week and a half. . .

Anyway, just ate wonderful pork chop, mashed potatoes and green beans. So tasty. It took every oz of will power I have, not to eat the other two and all the mashed potatoes I made. I going to save the little bones off the chops and see if I can boil them up with some white beans, a little bowl. That way I will get at least four meals out of the chops. Which would make it around a $1.05 per meal. I am working hard at making every little bit of food count.

There is a learning curve. I have the second turkey drum stick in the fridge with jellied broth, but it's like ten day old. I'm not touching it. Next turkey, drum sticks get frozen separately, instead of together. I have to say, now that I am not freaked out, that I am enjoying myself, trying to get the most bang for my buck. I like cooking it seems. The washing, that's another story. Just need more recipes. I have found another blog, $5 dinners. I will start looking at their recipes, to expand my repertoire..

I am going to report on a conversation that the florist had with me as we went to pick up the van from a repair shop. He told me, that he had attended a trade luncheon, where they talked about employees getting lunch. He stated that he had misunderstood the law, or what they had said about it. He then asks ME what the law concerning lunches was. I told him I didn't know, exactly what the law was, but I knew I was suppose to get one after so many hours. I didn't know whether it was paid or unpaid. He told me it was unpaid.

After digesting this conversation for about two weeks, I have come to the conclusion that the conversation was actually about, finding out what I know about the labor laws. I really don't think that he doesn't know what the law is, since he's been running the business since the eighties. I find this really creepy. I'm not stupid, just slow.

Today a school teacher, was charged with kidnapping and killing an eight year old girl that lived in the same trailer park. The eight year old was raped and murdered, and placed in a suitcase which was then transported to a nearby pond and tossed in. The school teacher is a 28 year old WOMAN!!! What the hell, women rape little girls? I had no idea. But the charges were quite clear, the child was violated with a foreign object. This is horrible news to me. Men yes, women nooooo.
