Six

Today is pay day which means I have about six jillion things to accomplish before I go to bed or maybe it just seems that way.  I have to make the menu for the week which then yields the shopping lists for Kroger, Family $ and any other store that I might need to visit to get everything on the lists.  I pretty much have the weekly shopping down to a science, so it really should not take me all that long to get it done.  Making the menu is the hardest thing as I try to bring variety and nutrition into our food foray for the week as well as eliminate boredom from the diet.  It is a challenge most of the time because Will's diet is a lot different than mine.  I like lots of spice and he likes none.  Trying to strike the balance between the two without busting the budget is a real test of my abilities.  Even so, I sometimes have monumental failures when it comes to dinner.  For example, I made chicken enchiladas for dinner last night.  I used no peppers or hot sauce and I used mild enchilada sauce.  Granted the brand of the enchilada sauce was not one that I have tried before, but the makers definition of mild and Will's are two different things.  He took a bite or two and declared the enchiladas too spicy for him to eat.  I thought they came out delicious, but then I am a pepper belly and Will is definitely not.  So therein lies the challenge at which most times I am successful at overcoming, but not always.  Now all I have to do is figure out what he will eat and I will also which will still fit in the budget.  So I better get to it or I will be at it much later than I need to be.

Your Musical Moment for today features the music of Frederic Chopin with his Opus 10, Opus 25 and Opus posth Etudes for Piano taken from this two CD set recorded by Boris Berezovsky.  The play list is followed by this week's denim dynamite with a sexy edition of Men in Jeans for your visual appreciation.  Thanks for sharing part of your day with me, see you again tomorrow.  Until next  time as always, Enjoy!
