Eat on $30: Day 5

First of all, I made bread yesterday. Sure, it's a big salty. And yeasty. And dense. But it's totally edible and I am happy to use it as our bread this week. I'm quite proud of myself.

So dinner last night was, indeed, leftover lentil soup and fresh bread with butter. Mmmmm . . . it made me very happy.

I made waffles and bacon today for lunch for me and Erik. There's something about a lazy Sunday afternoon that just screams out for the combined blissful smells of waffles fresh off the iron and salty bacon frying in a pan. Add in a fresh pot of coffee and, as they say in football, it's a slam dunk.

Tonight I'm taking Eliza to see Erik perform in a Christmas concert at the Gateway church in north Austin. Now, we are by no means God-fearing folks, but I see nothing wrong with listening to talented musicians play lovely holiday music and maybe hearing some nice messages of peace, love, and kindness. Even a staunch atheist like myself can see the beauty in such an event.

But I"m not sure what's going to happen for dinner. Right now I'm so full of waffley goodness that I can't even comprehend eating again for a while. There's still lots of soup left over, and of course there's bread. I'm sure I'll figure something out.
