I hate to shop too, so we've been eating beans, rice, eggs, etc. and lots of rotisserie chickens from the local store. only $6 and can be separated into several dishes.

can't wait for summer with all the farmer's markets, hopefully can avoid the stores even more.

avoiding any George New threads, so that's ^ my life skills lesson of the day:)
