<found a Cadbury ‘Royal Dark’ bar. Score!
LOL. I can just imagine the happiness. : )
I got a bit depressed about the 1000 meal thing. I make a lot of food because I eat vegan. We are in a money-saving mode, but I don’t think my son realizes that sometimes I feel really hostile about having to cook, again, and am perfectly willing to pay someone else to cook. I’m fortunate that, as a professor, I’m either at home or can get home early and don’t have to run home and cook at 5:30, but darned sometimes I just get tired of that kitchen. Even a vegan burger & canned baked beans can seem like too much effort sometimes.
When I was working part-time, raising three boys and feeding two adult men at every meal, too...talk about a multi-tasker!...my crockpot saved the day. Lots of great vegetarian/vegan recipes for those. I’d use mine once or twice a week. I still use it a few times a month just for the two of us & my Dad.
Here’s a recipe I’ve become a ‘little’ famous for on the web:
