Under $20: Movie Night Edition

Image
That's right! You can have a wonderful movie night at home for minimal effort and under $20. Make your own pizza, pop your own popcorn, and score a free or (extremely low cost) movie. Why pay more than you have to? You will save not only a bucket of cash, considering its about $20 per person to go out to the movies, but you will also save loads of calories as well. A personal pan cheese pizza has 813 calories. Just cheese! No toppings! Is anyone else grossed out and mad? I won't say which restaurant that is, but there is a very good reason their name rhymes with Butt. Thats where their food heads straight to... Well and your hips and waist, but you know what I mean. And 218 for a small popcorn movie theater...ick Dont do that to yourself! Make your own, so you dont have cardiac infarction halfway through the movie. So here are the details for an uber economical movie night..... The breakdown below is for a typical pizza and popcorn combo

Snow and Sherry and Chocolate

  A few weeks ago we had a lovely blizzard. Morning service was canceled to a degree. Father dropped me off at the public library near my place of employment.   As I sat writing some letters the snow fell in beautiful, soft crystalline clusters.   The roads quickly covered themselves with the softest and most beautiful blanket one could ever imagine!   I went to work shortly after, but we were let go early for fear we should never make it home.     In warmer news...   I found a lovely Sherry for cooking. Although, I have a sneaking suspicion that those who purchased it were drinking it.   Shocking indeed!   It starts off pleasant on the tip of the tongue but once it gets to the back... Well, I shouldn't criticize anyones taste in beverage, but may I say it does not suit my palate.   But speaking of palate pleasers this chocolate granola with vanilla coconut milk Kefir and sliced almonds would do nicely indeed!
