The working world: September 2009 Archives

My dad, one of 17 in his family, grew up on a farm.

And they would butcher pigs. Dad used to tell me that everything except the pig's squeal was used in the butchering processs. He wasn't the first to share that saying, but its meaning certainly holds true: Nothing goes to waste.

Thankfully, I've taken that "nothing goes to waste" philosophy to my cooking. And it saved me in both time and money this week.

I was bad today.

I went out to lunch with co-workers. I spent $6.96, including tip. But I feel guilty. I'm having buyer's remorse.

I spent or should I say wasted almost $7. And on what?

I order a a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon.

Honestly, it was a waste of money, not time, because it really was a nice break from the office.

I will do better in the future. So, again no more going out for lunch.
