No, this post is not so that I can share some imaginative chili recipe with you.


Instead, it is to bemoan my failed attempts to get the grocery expenditures under control.


Despite my commando shopping, I'm still averaging about $130 per week to feed 2 people.

Did the recipe contain cumin?

OK, let's blame the cumin.

Kate, I can totally relate to your problems with cooking.

Lucky for sister I stopped her before she got as much as a whole bulb in!

Oh Kate, you gave me a laugh and a half! I couldn't help it, you cracked me up!!!! I too have had kitchen disastors (one time I used icing sugar instead of flour for my cookies . . . they ended up with the consistency of chewing gum!!!)


All I can say is keep trying. One of my favourite slow cooker recipes is chicken, carrots and potatoes.
