the weather was sunny and mid 60's today...so... we both finished work early
and met at the boat at 3:30......it was a bit choppy...but what a wonderful break
from our busy schedule and oh sooooooo relaxing.....
Ross did some fishing....
the fall colors were beautiful....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
had a neighbor stop by this morning to purchase some eggs...
we were talking about how many items we have NOT purchased at the
grocery store so far this year.....she asked if we would continue it on
into next year and I replied that it is part of my normal routine now...
our conversation then turned to the fact that there are 5 ingredients to make
mayonnaise, and yet when you look at a jar in the store there are 12 things
listed....most of which you cannot pronounce...and how by not ingesting
these other items are bodies will be better off....HOWEVER neither of us have lost
any weight doing the Living off the Land thing....just too much good stuff to eat!! lol
while on the boat we made a list of some of the items we have not
had to purchase because we made them here....
Mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, Sweet Relish, all types of Pickles,
Worcestershire Sauce, A1 Sauce, Ketchup, BBQ Sauce,
Red Hot Sauce, Pizza Sauce, Tomato Paste, Taco Sauce, Spaghetti Sauce, Noodles of
all kinds, Breads of all types...including Hamburg & Hot dog buns, Bagels,
Pretzel Buns, Sandwich bread, greenbeans, corn, applesauce, all jellies and jams,
Sauerkraut, Chili, Crushed Red Peppers for Pizza, dried beans for soups,
Italian Dressing, 1000 Island Dressing, Ranch Dressing, French Dressing and
Blue Cheese Dressing (although I do still have to buy the chunks of blue cheese
...so maybe that one shouldn't count :)

having leftovers and watching the debate....
Pleasant Dreams!!!
