I´m mylotting with the news.
There´s a mix of many things at home. I have to take out some clothes I had washing. I should be doing that as the chilly sun is shinn ing but who knows how long it will last.
I just bought yet another gas cylinder for the heater. The man who sells (Juan, so many Juans in my life) said I was pampered. He has to install it if there´s nobody nearby. I could do it but with great difficulty. I tell him that I´m making him rich
There is a situation of political corruption in the news. I don´t follow it closely. Gone are the days when I believed that politicians were "clean". I do think the that the President himself is not corrupt. But he is now the center of attention. And a few month ago, there was a big case of corruption from the opposition that is now being investigated. JEEEZZZ!!!
I will soon finish making the list of groceries to buy soon. Mostly they will be goodies. I have to think about some "real" groceries to add to the list. Salame, ham and cheeses are not the real thing. But they cost a lot. Still, today I will not buy yet another chocolate cake. Enough is enough.
How is your day going?

I will not buy chocolate cake today. I have other expensive groceries in my list that are more important. But I still will have my nice sandwiches around. And I have some avocados left. As they are a bit too ripe, I´ll turn them into guacamole.

You should always budget the luxury foods first and then buy the real food if there is enough money left for them. 
I just finished eating half of a turkey and Cheddar sandwich. Delicious!
I hope you're enjoying your day.

@misunderstood_zombie Haven't you heard? You're supposed to eat dessert first. I've been eating pecan tarts for supper the last two days. YUM!

@DaddyEvil That sounds amazingly good. Well, I think it would taste good if it's anything like pecan pie.

How can you have your pudding if you haven't eaten your meat.

I am sorry that there is corruption in your country. We have a cheesecake in the freezer. Maybe we will take it out for this weekend as we are going out to eat (maybe) tomorrow afternoon. I have $$ that I have earned from taking surveys and being on panels. Enjoy your day.

I think they are all corrupt, I wish it wasn't true.

I have a load of clothes washing right now, and one load I hung on my portable rack to dry. Cleaned out the fridge, that is the Thursday project. If I don't set a certain day for it's straightening and wiping out, then I forget. Soon, I have to go get meds for the son, and run another errand.
Yes, you need ''real groceries'' some proteins, etc. I know chocolate cakes are more fun, just don't forget to take care of the vitamin part! I dearly love dark chocolate. So, so good.

I always have proteins in my diet. Now that I eat less meat, I replace it with eggs, milk and cheese. But today it will be meat day.

@MarieCoyle I bought and froze strawberries in summer. Now, every now and then, I make a smoothie. I don´t drink milk except is I make hot chocolate or a strawberry smoothie. I do use it for cooking though. I only make mashed potatoes from stratch and they need plenty of whole milk.

I, too, eat a lot less meat than I used to. I am not a milk drinker, but I do cook with milk at times. I love good cheeses and eggs.

I made chocolate cake with chocolate frosting on Independence Day. There is one piece left on the counter.
