I´m waiting for a luxury that is in the oven.

I have always thought that some luxuries are part of the basics as they help you with your mental health. And there´s nothing more expensive than to start going to a psychologist or a psychiatrist. So this month, in my personal challenge of not buying groceries, I checked what I had and made one single list of MUST HAVE. And that will be it. So yesterday I bought a big bag of food for Luna so that she won´t be hungry or eat my own food. I saved a bit there because I bought the sac on cyber day and discovered a mix that is about US $2 cheaper. Instead of "meat flavor" it says "salmon and chicken flavor". I know that Luna likes salmon and chicken. And she is not picky with mixtures as long as they are not sweets. But as I did not buy a cake, I´m making a leche flan. It is now in the oven. I would have had problems with the eggs for the month if it weren´t for my SIL´s trip. She brought me a dozen of eggs (although I know that nothing would have happened to them during the time that they will be away). The eggs are those I would never buy: colored and laid by hens that run free who knows where. They cost a lot and I´m sure that there´s not much difference between mine and theirs. But so be it. 4 of them are in the leche flan in the oven. I will not even spend money for my birthday. I´ll go to Dixie´s. She will come for me after her prayer meeting on Saturday evening (my birthday) and we´ll "do something" on Sunday. I will now go to see the leche flan. See you later, friends

@marguicha I really do enjoy it, too. I guess some people hate to cook, but life is sure much easier, and much cheaper, if a person knows how to cook!

Enjoy your flan. It can be really hard to avoid spending on groceries. You would need to have a good supply of basics.

I will try hard. I am sure that I have enough ingredients for lunch and dinner. I don´t know if I can reach the end of the month in food for breakfast.

I love flan. Does the leche flan have a sauce? The one I made had a caramel sauce. Have a good weekend and a fabulous Birthday.

I first make the caramel in the aluminum pot. And then I pour the milky mixture over it. So the caramel sauce is there from the begining.
