1 can black eyed peas, 1 big can diced tomatoes, some asparagus that's been in my fridge for almost too long, 1 can lima beans, half a bag of egg noodles, the right amount of salt and garlic powder, all mixed up in vegetable broth. that's what was for dinner last night, lunch today, and probably the next several days' worth of non-breakfast meals. i've reached that let's-see-what-i-can-do-with-the-nonperishables point in my kitchen. the above, plus peanut butter, a couple of boxes of couscous, various pasta, and some applesauce is about all i had to work with.

methinks it's time to go to the grocery store.

man, this post is boring. my life is boring. i guess this is the appropriate time to mention that i spent my friday night teaching myself how to purl and bind off. i was pretty damn excited about that. i made a small square, which i decided was an appropriately-sized baby blanket for a first-trimester fetus. see? i can make things! they're not useful, of course, but they're "things". and cats like them.
