Summer is winding down and it dawns on me that we haven't been to the grocery store for a 'big trip' since probably sometime last May. Our refrigerator is basically empty. Ok, not totally empty, I think we have eggs, hoisin sauce, beer, and maybe some dijonaise. Obviously, we haven't stopped eating; we've just been finding sustenance in different ways. I've been making trips to Cub over lunch and buying food and just keeping it at work for lunches. We also eat out a lot, which isn't all that good for the wallet, but it is good for the soul, so for now I'll call it a wash. When we are home, we eat simply, and we make a lot of quick runs to the corner market. Occasionally we'll get down to the farmer's market and pick up a bunch of fresh stuff and make up a big meal, but those trips are [regrettably] few and far between.

I miss cooking. I think I'll make pickles this weekend.
