Through the weekend
So, while this is actually our second weekend not buying, it's the first weekend we've had time off and would have been able to spend money if we had wanted to. (But we didn't . . .)
It seems to me that everyone spends more money on the weekends. On some level, I think there is a cultural pressure that you're supposed to be out doing something Friday or Saturday (Call it "Date Night" if you will . . .) Saturdays at the mall are packed. And then, there's Sunday brunch out, which we love, and I truly like breakfast food best when eaten at a restaurant. There is just something about those diner-style pancakes! Yum! I can't get results like that at home!
OK, I digress.
This weekend, we experienced the fun of staying at home, vegging out, reading, cooking, napping. It's been great. Of course, I'll enjoy experiencing those pancakes at Wild Eggs again, but I bet not having them for a while will make them even better!!

One year, I bought Joe for Christmas a griddle and he loves to make diner like pancakes on it. We found a recipe from Tyler Florence (my man) who does those "Tyler's Ultimate" shows and he had one on pancakes. No, they are not exactly the same - but pretty good. But I guess you can't buy a griddle ...sorry. Maybe next year. But then you can just go to Wild Eggs - I'll stop with the suggestions...:)
Actually, we used to have a griddle! I'm not sure if we still do or where it might be, but I need to look! I'm also going to search for that recipe!
maybe you will not even want diner style pancakes at the end of the year! are you allowed to walk through the mall (or is that an unnecessary temptation?)? i'm just assuming that vegging out all the time will get boring and i was wondering what you two plan to do throughout the year to avoid "date nite." is it possible to find new hobbies without buying anything?
Well, I work at the mall, so it's not really an unnecessary temptation, but I just don't want to spend any more time there! :-)
And you're right about the vegging out, it will be tiring. Alex works 2 jobs and I work and go to school - so sometimes a little vegging out is great though!
New hobbies is definitely something to think about - especially without buying anything. I'm going to ponder that one!
Thanks for commenting!
Maybe making everything from scratch will be your new hobby. Maybe that is why the lady makes her own stuff - she is so busy she can't find time to want anything - or even time to go to the mall to get it!! Something to think about.
oh Terri, you would bring Tyler Florence into this wouldn't you...
Kayla, just use the quesadilla maker for your pancakes, it will totally work.
I am with Lynde...looking forward to your posts about what in the world you are doing with all your time.
PS-I am buying it, so I am typing on my new keyboard with a "v" and a "!" that work!!!
PSS-I bought it on Saturday, I felt the pressure...and I caved.
Hiking is a good option. There are plenty of recreation areas that are free, especially this time of year. And maybe the museums have free nights or events. I cringe saying this for reasons you will understand, but the library may become an excellent resource for filling up time. Or maybe just the internet.
