Money Matters

FOOD [+ FEAR]

I woke up fearful that today would be bad, like last Saturday, w family crisis. 
I started the day overeating, maybe in an attempt to soothe that fear.
  • You snooze, you lose. I told Dan yesterday there was one Pot de Creme left but he did not act fast enough. I had it for breakfast with leftover homemade whipped cream. Then, everything went to hell in a hand basket and I finished the remaining whipped cream, topped off with the last of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, which made me think of Milk Bar*--that fabulous bakery franchise that started in NYC with cereal milk and other brainstorms. Also 2 Ritz crackers and 3 of those gross Takis. Then I went to my support group on Zoom and pulled myself together.
  • Coffee with milk.
  • Lunch, leftover roast chicken, sautéed mushrooms, leftover rice.
  • Dinner, cavatelli w broccoli. Garlic knots w red sauce. Bread w butter.
  • Made Yolos for girls, Ate 2.
  • Milk.
$ MONEY SPENT OUT OF POCKET--Saturday
  • Acme, Instacart, 4 organic oranges, 1/2 gallon organic whole milk, organic + vegan chocolate chips and I forget what else, plus tip, $41.
  • Kings, Instacart, Van's frozen waffles, loaf rye bread, pound of butter, Purple Haze goat cheese, Triscuits, pitted Medjool dates x3 to make Yolos for girls, tip, $59.77. K, now this Instacart lure is gettng out of control. So tempting, free delivery within 2 hours, contact-free, instead of putting mask and gloves on etc. 
  • Villa Victoria, 2 orders of cavatelli w broccoli, garlic and oil; 2 orders of garlic knots w red sauce, ordered at 7:30 pm, $38.
Will crunch numbers later. going for nature walk at a distance in CT w Sis. Driving over Governor Mario Cuomo Bridge soon--once I get dressed and get out.

*Per Wikipedia  The first Milk Bar opened in November 2008, and began selling Tosi's "happy mistakes," including the compost cookie, the crack pie, and cereal milk.[6]
