Today is the first of many days I will attempt to distract myself from the constant reminder that my finances are in absolute turmoil. As a result of the recent recession my business has been hit hard and my income has been reduced by almost 50%. Unfortunately my debt has not been reduced in the same capacity. As a result I find myself embroiled in the daily reminders of my financial strife. From credit company phone calls to the threat of my phone being cut off and not to mention the fact I owe the government a large amount of money for my taxes - there is no escaping the fact that I am in serious trouble.
So, in order to do things like sleep, eat, breathe and think without drowning in stress i am exploring as many different ways to distract myself from my fate in order to save my sanity.
Phase One: Cooking...
Today I am cooking/smoking a whole roasting chicken stuffed with apple stuffing, served with potatoes croquettes and Edwardian vegetables steamed and served with Danish bacon. This meal is enough to feed my family of 4 for 2 days. The overall cost is approximately $25 which breaks down to 12.50 per meal. I am not just trying to distract myself I am also trying to save money. Every penny counts while I try to dig myself out of my current dilemma.
the food tasted just awsome, I am such a lucky husband to have someone that cooks such great tasting meals, wish my mom cooked like this when I lived at home
