Day 15: Gospel Choir

Money Spent: $0
Total amount in food: $1.40

CG Tip of the Day: Cook your meals for the week in two spurts - make 2-4 dishes one night, and 2-3 extra dishes a few days later.  This will help you stay on track (you'll always have food in the fridge), but won't overwhelm you (you can plan your second round of meals after you assess what/how much you have left.

Breakfast: Cereal ($.25)
Lunch: Macaroni and Cheese ($.40)
Dinner: Burrito ($.75)

I had a lovely lazy Monday since I will now be working Mondays at the office.  Mike and I got to laze around in the morning.  I watched a ton of Weeds (Buy Weeds - Season One)...

The macaroni and cheese is incredible - I heated it up in the oven for about 15 minutes on 350 degrees.  I think I should have baked it covered 'cause a few of the top noodles are unacceptably crunchy/dried out, but otherwise I'm incredibly happy with it.  The onions and garlic cooked in the milk seem to have made all the difference - it's rich and incredibly flavorful.

Tonight, Mike and I went to see the Broadway Inspirational Voices gospel choir concert on 64th st.  Three of our good friends were in it.  I was pretty nervous about the cost of the tickets ($20-40), but when we got their, our friend Bradley's mom paid for both of us.  I don't always know how we get so lucky, but it's awesome...  The show was great (we couldn't hear the words very well, but the music was awesome)

I have a busy week.  A bunch of my friends have found me some odd jobs (greeting at a bat mitzvah, cleaning apartments, fixing a prop for work, and babysitting).  I'm also meeting with my friend Rachael tomorrow because she's getting rid of a bunch of clothes, and I just happen to really love her style :)  

Jason's coming to hang with us in a little while - I live in his apartment and he's simply an amazing person.  A great day, overall...
