I made my grocery list and discovered that most of what I "needed" were luxuries. So, as I´m on a budget, I decided to wait until next week. Today, when I go to the drugstore, I´ll buy cilantro leaves. That´s the only thing I really need because I found some rather old beets in the fridge. I an boiling them and will make a salad with salt, oil and lemon and topped with cilantro leaves. I hope the beets plump up some while boiling. I had a nice breakfast with Anita and now I´m going for a shower. See you later.

I love beet salad with potatoes and boiled eggs or just beets with mayo.

I love beets. It used to be my favorite salad when I was a child.

@marguicha brings me memories of the great borscht soup my mom used to make with some smoked ham

So many are watching every penny now. I look at it this way, it definitely makes us more creative in our cooking!

By all means! Today we came very late and I made a delicious omelette with the pasta I had from yesterday. I served ice cream for dessert and Anita didn´t even want any pork. I went to bed after the outing and was fast asleep in 2 seconds.

@marguicha It made you tired, don't do too much at once, Marga. I'm glad you rested.

Sometimes, it`s easy to spend on things we don't necessarily need. It's good that you realized they were luxuries rather than necessities.

I bought less than $10 in other groceries besides the cilantro. If I had sent for food, I´d spent over $100

I have another cart full at Walmart. Our housekeeper will have to pick it up next Monday. It's hard to make a $35 order when I'm by myself. Have a good day.
