Saturday spending

I made it up and out to the market this morning but that might be as far as my energy takes me today.  I think I'll go and have a nap shortly and maybe that'll leave me able to get some things done this evening.  I'm really not sure how I'm going to make it through a full day of work on Monday.  We'll have to see.

No photo today but I bought a lot, with plans for very nice dishes from a cookbook that I took down from the bookshelf with the express purpose of getting rid of it.  I haven't opened it in probably ten years, it's one of the first cookbooks I ever bought and although I did go through it at the time, marking each recipe I wanted to try, I think I only used it a couple of times.  If I recall correctly, it was a special offer from the Book People, whose representative used to come around to our company and leave samples that could be ordered every month.  I don't think any month went by when I didn't order something.  I have no willpower. At any rate, I finally decided that before getting rid of it, I would see if I could use my Low-Fat Ultimate Recipes book at least three times in the next month.  I started flicking through it and immediately realised that my tastes and entire life has changed so much since I got this book, that there are now far, far more recipes that appeal to me than there were even before.  So I bought the fixings for two chicken dinners and one soup and will try to spend an hour or two in the kitchen tomorrow.
