OAMC in Monticello?

-
It's called Once A Month Cooking? Anyone heard of such a concept? Well, I realized recently that this is something I need to start! I have spent so much money on eating out lately, that I am ashamed! So, I had this idea...OAMC. I don't really want to do it alone, since my sanguine personality forbids me to be alone! I had an ingenious thought...get a group together, decide on the recipes, and have everyone cook that same meal for everyone in the group. What you end up with (if say, you have 5 people), is a weeks worth of pre-cooked, healthy, super cheap, super speedy dinners. Does this interest anyone? I will get some books and recipes together if anyone is interested. I can't wait to get this group up and running! Common y'all were in this together! What we would end up with is less dollars out of the pocketbook and more time with our families. I know of one in our tight knit group that bakes fresh bread. What an excellent companion to any meal. Anyone game?

i'm already in a group that cooks once a month. the way we do it is we meet once to set recipes and divide out jobs (someone makes lunch, someone shops, someone cuts produce, etc.) then we set a cooking date. on that day we each bring a cooler and freezer bags labeled for the number of meals we have chosen (usually about 10 recipes. . .and i usually double, so i get about 20 meals). each person chooses a recipe, gathers everyone else's bags who also chose that recipe, and then throw all the ingredients in the bags. after a day of fun with friends you go home with 20 ready-to-go meals in your freezer! awesome, huh? you can join ours, if you like, or just come to a meeting or 2 for ideas for your own group to get started!
btw. . .did you know tj got me a mill for my bday? now i make my own bread AND grind the flour from fresh wheatberries. . .how cool is that?

That's awesome Brandi. I think I might have to join yours if I can't gather the troops to start my own. I was planning on having a big group cooking session though. Just a get together to exchange meals. I am excited to start if anyone is interested. I have one, but need others. Oh Brandi, when is the meeting. I might want to start till I can get mine up and running.

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
