Depends what side of the fence you sit upon.
For me, Monday has always been the start of the week but that is just an employment thing I guess. Sunday is still the weekend and not to be spoiled by being part of the next working week.
Rained on and off all day, started with a storm then just went to shit from there.
A good day to make cheese!
Muenster and Smoked Gouda were quickly put together and I now have two new blocks of cheese to enjoy this week. I can't get over how fast and easy it is to make. I can buy soya milk from the Asian Grocer at Indro and it has nothing but water and soya beans in it so exactly what I would make myself. $3.99 for 2 litres is pretty cheap. I have frozen what I didn't use today for next time. So that takes away the most time consuming part of cheesemaking. Making the milk. The cheese actually cooks in around 4 minutes and thats it folks.
I also got a bag of garlic very cheap and roasted up about half of it. I then made hummus from chickpeas I had in the freezer, and the garlic. Not sure if anyone will be able to get close enough to me to enjoy a conversation with me this week but oh man is that hummus good. With 2 heads of roasted garlic in it it should be!!
I asked DH if we are now saving money on food and much to my delight he showed me a graph of food spending for the last 12 months that clearly shows a huge drop. Huge. Like $600 a month huge. I kid you not. We were spending 1300 a month on food and that has now dropped to $700. This is for 21 meals per week for 3 adults and 2 dogs so 63 human meals a week, 252 meals a month. So averaging this out we have gone from $5.15 per meal to $2.77. Bloody nora. Whoever said they can't afford healthy food is just making excuses. I can't afford the old food we were eating. Onward and upward! So apart from living cruelty free we are now eating a far tastier diet and saving heaps of money doing it. I have never eaten so much cheesecake in my life!
Big week shaping up.
Into the city tomorrow to buy gifts for the GC luncheon. That will take all day.
Tuesday I have an appt teaching a woman to sew. Then I have to prepare myself for Wednesday.
The big interview.
Going for quite a prestigious position with a big outfit that will last for 1 year. I will do massive travel around the state to represent the big outfit at functions I will be invited to attend as a vip guest. I will even be asked to be the guest speaker on occasion. I have the list of criteria they are looking for so will need to study up. Then Thursday probably have to go to the GC to look at units. Maybe Friday.
I cut out 3 shirts and 3 skirts today so will now have to be sewing them up.
What to have for dinner.
Hmm
It will have to involve zucchini as I have a few of those now. Might make that frittata again. It is easy to put together and also good for lunch.

All of these companies are now off my shopping list. Bastards. They should be off yours too. You'll just encourage them otherwise. One thing that I read that really got to me "you wouldn't ask your best friend to drink shampoo" with a small dog standing in front of a bowl of shampoo instead of water.
It has to stop. We cannot continue down this road of torture to animals.
Fuck I hate humans.
