I thought maybe you were posting for #fff early :)
Still looks good. I like the idea of using leftovers from something else you're cooking to experiment and create something else. Practical, thrifty and creative all at once. Having it taste good is a bonus after all of that. :)
We've challenged ourselves with being as thrifty as possible the past couple months.
Not out of necessity, although SoCal is stupid expensive, but to see what we are capable of, and as we really enjoyed Rome, it is worth it to cut back for now and consider saving for another trip!
I think it's best to do when it's not out necessity. That generally helps to keep it from being a necessity and buffers it when it might be. We lived in Orange County for the better part of four years nearly thirty years ago and it was stupid expensive then. I know it's only gone up from there. All the people moving elsewhere as businesses seek better financial climates, I'm not sure who's going to be left. Probably won't get that bad, but I'm afraid it's only going to get worse as far as cost of living goes.
And I'm going to really need to prep for fff! There is serious competition there!
yeah, I agree. For me, it's best not to treat it as a competition, because of just that. It's probably one of the few I wouldn't though. If there were a clothes folding competition, I might try to compete, but I'm flat out bad at that so it would just be for the fun and the humiliation. :)
Competition sounds more fierce than I mean it. 😁
