I have a favorite egg salad recipe! (I know no one is asking but it’s just so much better than most egg salads I’ve had that I want to share!)

Thank you! That first tasty dish is courtesy of @noodle who I’m sure will downplay her brilliance so don’t listen to her because It. Is. Amazing.

Hahaha OK it wasn’t my idea!! We subscribe to Sprouted Kitchen Cooking Club and she posted that “recipe” either in 2020 or 2021. I can’t remember because it quickly became a heavy hitter in our rotation

Aaaaaaand then I went into target without a list. Waiting for Ramit to show up and slap me on the wrist! But the tank tops were in such nice colors.

I got peanut butter, Reese’s cups, three of the same tank top in different colors because I couldn’t decide (:cold_face:), a pair of work pants with a stretchy waist that may or may not fit, and a $5 “travel” mug for tea that isn’t fragile like my glass ones (those worked fine when they could live in a filing cabinet at the office, but now everything gets dumped into a tote bag at the end of the day).

ETA: I put it all on a gift card I’m supposed to use for groceries and consider that fine since I did get…one grocery lol

In the spirit of no food waste… we have leftover Crystal Light and Gatorade from Boyfriend’s colonoscopy prep. I don’t like either and he won’t drink more of it because it reminds him of prep - so I am wondering exactly how much alcohol I can put in this stuff to salvage it. :rofl:

Vodka is pretty good in Gatorade. Add a lime and baby you’ve got a stew going.

Good to know. It is lemon Gatorade so I guess it would be like a vodka lemonade.

I have gin too.

I’m a little hypoxic I think so that’s entirely possible.

I decided to focus this pay period in paying off my credit card balance which is quite high even if that means next to nothing goes to the down payment fund. Small consolation, this was a very spendy month for pet expenses, so after Boyfriend and I settle up our expenses at month’s end I’ll at least have a couple hundred bucks to throw in there, I think.

Or, actually, what I should do is take that money and use it for my hair salon bill. I hadn’t saved up for that.

And then start fresh in September with better spending. (Though, who am I kidding, it’s Halloween season almost, and also I have 2 costumes to put together still. Gonna start on that this weekend.)

Is it the powder stuff or liquid?

I had many a cocktail made with Gatorade/crystal light mixers. Vodka or white rum are going to be your go to a here. Champagne if you want to go for a mimosa like kick.

Lemon gatorade plus champagne plus muddled mint makes a decent summer afternoon libation.
