I am really tired and sleepy and at work. Apologies for spelling mistakes, more than usual grammatical errors, etc.

A few weeks back when Crunchy Chicken introduced the challenge for May, I readily signed up. I was especially excited about turning off our ancient fridge and going without electricity. I thought: well my husband is unemployed so he can cook my food daily.

I was not expecting him to actually get a job, especially since his job applications were going into a big black hole.

Well he got a job and now he is working both the part time one and the full time (its via a temp agency) one for at least the next 2 months until we move. We decided to toss all his earnings at his student loan and continue to live on my income.

So we’ll be using the fridge since we cook our weekly meals once a week and store it in the fridge.

SF: I haven’t forgotten about the vegan meal ideas. Its in draft and very incoherent right now.

The other part that will be challenging will be no plastic. I still wind up getting plastic packaged stuff once in a while. This weekend I will be in NYC so I should remember to carry all my snacks and drinks with me so I don’t buy something packaged in plastic or styrofoam. I’m also going to try to check out restaurants focused on local foods.

I will also be taking a class later this month that runs for a few weeks so I should remember to be adequately prepared with the proper foods, drinks, chocolate, etc.
