I'm posting a menu for the dates October 2, 2012 through October 16, 2012 (We always eat out on the first and fifteenth of the month, when I pay bills and/or go shopping.). Hopefully, it will help me to save money shopping. I'm posting a tentative menu here and will work with it throughout the next two weeks, if it's not satisfactory. If anyone wants any of my recipes, leave a comment and I will post it.

1. 10/2/12
   • Breakfast- oatmeal, toast, bacon, and grape juice

On top of all of that,...

I've never seen, until now, a lot of Democrats say, "A woman should stay home and take care of her kids." It's kind of funny, actually. My mom, a hard-line Democrat, has told me that she can't understand why Sarah...
