Brrrr!!

August 29th, 2006 at 11:47 pm

Wow, we're in the middle of a damp, cold stretch. Feels like fall in northern NJ!

I was super-proud of myself on Sunday. Spent the entire day cooking and baking, including homemade bread, blackberry ice cream, blackberry and peach clafouti (thanks Contrary, for the suggestion!), blackberry sauce, steaks for Sunday night dinner, and bolognese sauce for Monday night. It's been a long time since I did that much in the kitchen and it was great!

I've been positively swamped at work, so I haven't had time to get my 8/31 stub and finalize the August numbers. If I thought they were better, it'd be easier to get motivated to do this!

Got my electric bill today. The actual usage was really high due to the a/c being on during last month's heat wave. Fortunately, we still have a credit of about $85 on our budget billing...I'm hoping that we can end the year with a credit and drive next year's rate down...

Quiet rest of the week...work, work, work!

    Sorry you're not enjoying the colder weather more! I'm thriving in it because I hate the heat. Just think how much nicer it is to do all that cooking when it's cool! (great job on cooking ahead!)

    It suddenly feels like fall here, too! The trees are dropping leaves already! Wasn't it just 100 degrees??

    Mmmm, blackberry and peach heaven...wish I was in your kitchen.

    Yeah! We have jumped from summer to fall here in Missouri too! I LOVE IT! Good luck on your totals when you add them up and remember that this is a lovely FRUGAL time of year, where you don't have to use the heat or AC!! Free!
