Kashi, Who are You Kidding??

Well, I went shopping last week and was trying to find something different and convenient to have for my dinners.
I bought one of those Kashi dinners that they have been advertising so heavily on TV.
They looked really good.
So I bought one.
A Mango Rice and Veggies casserole.
Now it WAS very yummy and I thoroughly enjoyed it BUT...
And here's the BUT;
It was about a cup of rice, a couple of tablespoons of black beans, some julienne carrots, a little corn and some mango chutney.
I figured it up and it was probably about 30 cents worth of ingredients.
It was yummy and it was convenient but there was no way it was worth the $3.15 I paid for it.
And that was at the commissary.
No way.

So....I got a bee in my bonnet and made some of my own this morning.
I cooked a cup of rice, julienne carrots, a handful of frozen corn and half a can of black beans.
I added some chipotle seasoning and mixed it all together.
(I didn't have any mango chutney).

For about $1.00 worth of ingredients, (maybe less) I made 3 servings of basically the SAME stuff.
Mine tasted every bit as good.
I am very pleased and although I liked it, I will NOT pat $3.00 for a measley little serving of rice and beans, Kashi or not.

That's it.
We have 3 SOLID days of rain and I am about to go stir crazy.
I HATE it when I can't get out and do stuff.
I am ready to tear my hair out.
I keep thinking that I could go to the gym but I can't seem to get back there, even after 6 years of going loyally 3 to 6 days a week.
I just can't make myself go anymore, even though I know I should.

So I don't think hubby wants to do anything (he rarely does).
I guess I will take the trash to the dump (Yay). It won't take itself.
And then I will go to Wally World and maybe to the Goodwill Store.
I don't really need anything from either place and going to the gym would certainly make more sense and be more benficial but I can't seem to go.
So....it'll be lunch somewhere, Wally World and the Goodwill Store.

I HATE this lousy weather.
It just makes me miserable and unhappy and crazy.

Oh....BTW just because I want to LOOK at something, explore my options and discuss the possibilities doesNOT necessarily mean I want to do anything right that red hot second. The only way I can figure out exactly what I want is to look at different things and figure out different options. Jeeeeeeeezzzzz.
