This is a funny post, but nonetheless to me much praiseworthy.

So, it was my birthday and hubby had asked the day before if we should go out to eat. We just about never do; I prefer my own simple and healthy food, seriously! I figured I could work around in the garden all day to my hearts delight and not have to make a meal, instead we would check out the newly renovated, changed owner Italian place in town. ^ PM we got all dressed up (not really!) jumped in the car and found that they are not open THAT day. So home we went and I threw together birthday soup and made bananasplits for dessert. What a wonderful, fast meal we enjoyed with dessert, all for under $10 total. Hubby often says he does not know anyone who eats so well and cheap and good. Thankful he likes my mostly no-frills cooking. Thankful we have in the house what I need to throw something together unplanned and within 20 minutes. Thankful we did not eat out too! 🥰
