Lots of new recipes this month, plus a revisited recipe that I haven’t made in several years. We ate well! Even if the photo leaves something to be desired. New Recipes Sheet pan fall chicken thighs – I’ll have to make these again soon, because I do love bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and this was…

Step 1: Get laid off. Step 2: Receive severance lump sum. Step 3: Profit??? Late last month, my severance payout hit, and suddenly we crossed a rather significant milestone. It feels a little fake, given that we’re going to start slowly spending down that lump sum, but… I guess take the win while you can?…

We are only doing new recipes this month! Not intentionally, but I did enough new ones and this is late enough in the month that you know what? It’ll balance out last month’s no new recipes at all. New Recipes Broccoli beef – You know, I had a different broccoli beef recipe saved in my…

Whoops, I’m late. It’s the dumbest and laziest reason, too. I got everything set up in my spreadsheet, other than the balances of our various savings accounts, and then I got too lazy to finish inputting those numbers. And now it’s the 17th of the month.

No new recipes in August! Unless you count this Fruity Pebble sourdough I made that was truly mediocre and ended up being tossed because the other sourdoughs I made were better. I was a little distracted being laid off and realizing how burnt out I was, which is also why this is showing up weeks…

I was not paying a whole ton of attention to the stock market this month, due to the aforementioned layoff at the beginning of the month, so I was pleasantly surprised when we hit an important milestone once I updated the spreadsheet.

No, that’s not clickbait, I really did get laid off. The timing was rather amazing. I had my 6 week sabbatical this summer, which I managed to stretch a little further than that by aligning it with the Juneteenth holiday. I returned from the sabbatical, worked a single day where most of what I did…

You know, I didn’t think I would have anything to say about recipes this month, because we spent almost the entire month traveling, but in the last week of my sabbatical, I ended up going a little nuts making various dessert items because I was so excited to be able to cook again and wanted…

Up and down, up and down, we tread a lot of the same ground this month without making much progress overall. This was also the continuation of my sabbatical and our two week trip to Europe, so another pricey month though this time cash dropped at the same time as the market. I was a…

Well, this month was the month that we generated our first bill for the remainder of our roof replacement, so we once again have a line of credit to pay down as quickly as possible. This one is on 0% for the next 18 months, and the plan is obviously to pay it off before…
