This and That.

This is going to be a super girly thing to say, but I wanted to show you guys what I'm sporting today.

Striped shirt and dark blue shorts.

Super cool detail on the arms.

I bet you're wondering why I'm turning this into a fashion blog. Really, I just wanted to brag about the fact that I bought that shirt and the shorts for a dollar twenty. Kohls was handing out these $10 mailers, and then I had a 15% off coupon, so I got this outfit for the price of a Doublestack. Hot diggity!

I feel like I was out of the apartment all day today. I went from the post office to Costco to Food-Walmart, back to the apartment, to the Non-Food-Walmart, to Michael's, then back to the apartment. The stop at the regular Walmart was for mason jars - I wanted to buy just one, but had to buy a pack of four, the lowest denomination (look look! math words!).

I'm going to put applesauce in that mason jar - homemade applesauce, that is. A week ago I bought some apples in one of those three pound bags from the grocery store, and put those suckers in H.'s lunch. After getting an apple back at the end of the day two days in a row, I asked him what was up. Turns out the apple peel had a funny taste, which is a great shame considering the flesh is actually pretty tasty. After considering apple pie, apple strudel, and appletini's, H. and I settled on applesauce. Makes for a great snack, and it replaces oil in recipes. Win-win all around. As we speak, there is a pot on the stove with a bunch of peeled, cored, and sliced apples. With a pinch of lemon juice and cinnamon. And a smidge of sugar - these guys are already pretty sweet, but the sugar helps reduce them and whatnot.

I might have eaten a few slices before they were put to their steamy death.

All that's left is to wait until they're super soft and throw them in a blender for a minute. And then figure out how much applesauce we'll have in the end. I'm pretty darn excited.

Tonight we're having tilapia for dinner. We're also going to work on that twenty pound bag of rice. Have a nice night, folks!
