Day 11 ( June 9, 2019)
​
​There are only two types of avocados:  Not ripe and too ripe.
 
Tossed salads are a great place to toss a bunch of vegetables that are on the verge of turning from ripe to nasty.  This included the avocados sitting on our kitchen island for a month.  We took them, leftover blackened chicken from last night that we never served, and some other things and made a salad.  Make our own Green Goddess Dressing by _________.  Topped off with watermelon.
 
Corn was 10 for $1 at the nearby TOPS grocery chain.  Wow – 1970s prices.
 
One of the girls was at a sleep-over a week ago and loved playing a card game called Sky-Joe. Picked it up on sale for $12 and played until it was dark.  The middle daughter pulled out a miracle round to win it all.  Her prize:  She gets to cook dinner tomorrow night.
 
 
End of the weekend ice cream.  Three pints of funky ice cream (Rolo, Cookie Dough, and Twix) for $5 at the nearby Dollar General.  Ice cream cones which used a lot less ice-cream than bowls.  Ate half of the stash and everyone was happy.

    Ten Dollar Dinners

    What's it like to eat a month's worth of $10 family dinners?  Since my job ends this month, we thought we'd give it a try.
