Survivor: Kitchen

When MB moved in, we combined kitchens, and I realized that we have waaay too much food. I realized this in force when I looked in the cupboard and found four (4) cans of corn.

So I devised a game called “Survivor: Kitchen.” The rule of the game is you have to make dinner with what’s in the kitchen, not going to the store. After 2 weeks, we agreed we can go buy veggies, milk, and bread, but nothing else. So far it was pretty easy: lots of pasta and tacos. But now I’m out of frozen ground beef and tomato sauce, so it’s starting to get interesting.

Tonight we used 4 cans of food, including 1 can of corn (score). The result was corn-bean casserole and smoked salmon melts. Yum:

Biking is great

I biked to work again for the first time in a long time on Tuesday. I took the canal for the first time, and it takes about a quarter mile off of my route. On the way home, I stopped to snag a picture of the day, ala Bob Wold, because the traffic was particularly bad today, and I was quite happy I biked instead:
