Notes:

~ I used a package of venison from the freezer marked '13.  Yes.  I did that.  And yes, it was great.  (Foodsavers are awesomesauce.)

~ Two whole chickens, roasted at the same time, allowed me to make several meals all at once.

~ we used the last of the storebought sandwich bread which means that homemade bread from henceforth is not a luxury but a necessity.  And guess what...

~ I am running out of all purpose flour!  I have only one 10 pound bag left- which is pretty much nothing in our family.  I have wheat berries I can grind but they produce a much more dense product and that won't be ideal for Adele's birthday cake at the end of the month.  I have to start rationing that.

~ I also ran out of breakfast sausage.  Matt isn't too thrilled about that.  Guess we should get some pigs then, amIright?!  I made that last little tube stretch into three different meals.

~ Finished all the sweet peppers, lettuces, celery and carrots (!!) off.  No more carrot sticks to go with pizza night.  (sob!)   That's okay.  We ran out of ranch dressing for dipping anyway.

~ Have to start rationing the cheddar cheese now too- not much left of that!  Homemade cheese is making that less traumatic though.

~ made homemade cheeses, butter and bread again this week

~ Precariously low on my chocolate chips and stevia.  I don't want to talk about it.
