Okay. Okay! I know I am supposed to be budgeting- I know! Yes, all of my credit cards are almost maxed out, and yes I spent all afternoon perfecting the $50 food budget I made for the week. But then I saw the perfect book (some of you know how often this happens to me). And I mean come on! This title? "Urban Pantry: Tips and Recipes for a Thrifty Sustainable and Seasonal Kitchen"? Amy Pennington was speaking my life in that cramped aisle. I had to have this book. And the enabler totally agreed. And then there were the perfect Christmas cards...Sigh. So anyway. The budget went out of the window- but it's okay! Because I was still able to have enough money between cash and credit card to get the books, (the other one was just two dollars--stop judging me!) cards, and ingredients for one of the recipes in the book to try it out.
