For the past two months we’ve been cooking from this book now and enjoying it in various ways:
- Buying groceries has become easier because of the weekly lists that it provides.
- Aside from occasionally juggling recipes around for practical reasons, we tend to know in the morning what we’ll be eating in the evening. No more last minute oh damn, what are we going to feed the kids situations.
- These recipes (which are easy to follow) have allowed me, who used to stick to a fairly fixed list of things I Knew I Could Cook, to do my share of cooking.
In fact, the last few weeks it’s been almost exclusively me doing the cooking on weekdays, which allows us to have dinner ready when M comes home with the boys and means we have more time available between dinner and their bedtime to get useful stuff accomplished.
It’s also supposed to help us save on cost of dinner, on average, and we probably do but it’s hard to tell because of not keeping track of spending on groceries as accurately as we perhaps should have.
On that note, if anyone knows of an OS X equivalent of GnuCash (and I mean a non-X11 application at that), I’d love to hear about it.
