Two Things

1) A few nights ago, in an effort to start cleaning my kitchen, I decided to clear out my pantry a little bit.  I decided I wouldn't buy any food, except missing ingredients (like ground turkey for the chili) until my pantry was reduced to a normal level for a single person with a small kitchen. (Currently, my pantry items are stacked too high on shelves, and in a corner of my kitchen floor.)

So on Wednesday, I made a boxed-item carb-fest: Kraft Mac & Cheese, Stove Top stuffing & Betty Crocker Au Gratin Potatoes.  I also opened a can of spinach and have been eating a lot of fruit at lunch this week.  Not the healthiest set of meals, but this is temporary.  Anyway, I noticed all these "meal ideas" on the backs of the boxes, so next week I'm going to start trying those.

2) This makes my arteries clog & harden just looking at the pictures.  Don't get me wrong: I love bacon.  I love bacon a lot.  But I have a hard time with the concept of the Turducken as is, wrapping each of the three birds in bacon...  How does the inside of the turkey not just turn into one big pile of bacon grease?  Happy Thanksgiving.
