Simple, you have relatives from all corners of the country drop by on the same weekend...
It's a good thing that hubby is feeling so well so quickly because we literally had a dozen people drop by unexpectedly this weekend. Some cousins that I hadn't seen in 25 years called up because they were in town for the Baker to Vegas run (it's a 120 mile relay run to Las Vegas for law enforcement teams) so they got invited over, the grandson and his family stopped by on their drive across the US and stayed for the weekend, and a group of bingo players stopped by because there is a big bingo tournament going on this weekend...needless to say, Vegas is a popular place!
At the same time I was looking at all of the food in the pantry and the freezer we are no longer eating--meat, dairy, canned and processed foods that no longer meet our "healthy" standards--and was wondering what to do with it all. We ended up cooking up masses of food to feed everyone which they all appreciated, it saved us a lot of money over taking everyone out to restaurants for meals, and it cleared out some significant space in the pantry and freezer. It was a win-win situation for all!
Very good blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed

DeleteDefinitely a win-win! I remember eating meat for weeks longer than I wanted to, so I could use up what was in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteWe were able to have the grandkids eat most of the meat this weekend then they took the rest with them when they left yesterday. Our freezer is refreshingly meat-free now! :)
