can you believe i've actually made a goal not to go grocery shopping until im back from my next trip? (if you are a frequent reader, maybe you can) of course, my pantry is pretty full of canned goods, pasta and coffee (a must-have) and i have a freezer full of frozen stuff, including a turkey that i had a whim to try baking, although i dont think i meant to cook it in the dead of summer. these things should provide enough for two weeks, if not more.

i think i can do it, really. afterall, its only 2 weeks until i leave for the UK and i can always head to my parents early if i start to run out of food (i say this sarcastically, but its the sad truth), since my flight leaves from their town anyway. one thing i cant usually do without though is tomatoes. i have one slightly sad one that somehow was forgotten in the fridge and some cherry ones that i (among other things) snagged from a friends house who is away ... i mean, im doing them a favor, this stuff would go bad anyway. that should help with the fresh veg/fruit issue for a couple of days (since i also took all their other vegetables). except the celery; that stuff lasts forever.

now if only they had had some cat food...
