I’m not as upset about not getting a garage sale together. Today we woke up to rain and a balmy 49 degrees outside. It was a little cold in the house, so we had to turn on the heater (ouch high gas bills). I checked the forecast and tomorrow it is supposed to be back up to 80! So I guess we’ll have to turn the AC back on 😉
I was thinking about cleaning out the boy’s Summer clothes this weekend. I guess I’ll have to wait until the weather makes up its mind.
This month I’m trying to cut our grocery budget and making more from scratch. Last night I attempted to make Re-fried Beans, and I miserably failed 🙁 Where did it all go wrong? I sorted, rinsed, let sit overnight in plenty of water, rinsed again, all ready to smash, and the beans are still hard as rocks!?! I added water, and let them boil for 2 hours, and lets just say the results were not pretty. I’m not giving up though, and I’m going to try to make one more batch. Any tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated.
