trucking along

lent is more than half over now.

the journey is trudging along, but it is worth it. i had a calculated portion of spaghetti last night that was less than half of what i normally get - and it was a bit too much! part of this experience has been learning that we simply don't need as much of what we consume (food, materially, etc.). i've found some cheap chicken breasts and they are making for some meals that are better. i haven't had a salad in about a week (need to change that ...), i haven't had much tuna yet (one meal), i need to make another batch of refried beans, and the list goes on. in other words, i still have some options left to spice things up!
