I have been inspired by Janella on her fb posts to have some miso again.  I don't really want to, but I am not all that into meat either.  I know if I eat too much meat and cheese I will put on weight again.  I have been enjoying our shop having both pork and chicken schnitzel though.   I went to the other shop and found they have some lovely food items, and brought home some bacon bones and smoked cheese for a snack.

Success from last week:
Balsamic Chicken with Bean & Corn Salad it is like our favourite taco salad

New Year Menu

After I made up a menu of what I wanted to makes, which is salad because we had one of those catastophic days, well it felt like it hot winds and scary.  Then it became cold for the odd day as well.  We were able to go to the regional centre on one of those colder days, quite by accident and it turned out to be a sale day at my favourite clothes shop.  In the end I had enough food money left, and there wasn't much for the deposit on a dress and four lots of mince until next week.  Coles mince was cheap again and we got a cheap bottle of sweet and sour sauce.  I'll make the rest of the salads when some more money comes during the week.  Can't wait to try the haloumi one.  The fattoush salad we made into a wrap it was beautiful with the mint in it.
