Ever read A Canticle for Leibowitz? It's a classic sci-fi postapocalyptic novel that puts forth a neato cyclical theory of civilization. A very cool, fun, accessible read.I like anything involving the end of the world. I don't know why, but I find it interesting. I've read tons of books on it too.
I did this and thought it was pretty cool.

I read it for a class back when I was 20. It was cool as hell back then. Now? Meh, I'd probably still like it, but find its theme a little hokey and silly. Still a fun read though.Yes, I have...although I didn't love it as much as I was supposed to.Ever read A Canticle for Leibowitz?

I thought it was a good concept, but they beat you over the head a bit with the religion stuff and the fact that we're doomed to repeat ourselves. The book definitely has it's fans though and I wouldn't say it was bad; I just thought it was alright.I read it for a class back when I was 20. It was cool as hell back then. Now?

TREbro and I will be at Grumpy's in Roseville on Monday for baseball if you're interested. :hugs:
Gllll today, Krista. And congrats on the next steps, whatever they might end up being long term.
I wouldn't recommend anything valuable though. I'm convinced my FIL has been stealing our things out of a storage unit we share with them and squirreling them away in his garage.
Are you joking?
That is really awesome.
Thinking back to my late teens and early 20's, I was always the youngest guy in the card room.. And there were usually one or two older guys whose game I respected and advice I always tried to learn from. They were genuinely nice guys and not using the RFW catch and release strategy, right? Right??? 
Definitely not. If my wife quits working and we have kids, this will be the norm in my house. But my wife is an obsessive perfectionist who has checked out about 30 books from the library this week (and will get them all read in short order), half of which are on how to manage a home. She tried meal planning a couple months ago, but with a full time job and skiing on all of our days off it went the way of the dodo bird for now.
I hope so, but I don't think so.
Not getting married? 'Sup Disco Stu.
What's the problem with micromanaged meals? There's always something good to eat and I never have to cook it. Really not sure why you think this is a bad thing, especially when it involves reading massive amounts of books.
To me it would feel like I'm at some crappy cafeteria no matter how good the food is. I'd end up getting sick of it, guaranteed.I'm also a guy that does a lot of grilling, which means I stop at the butcher on the way home quite a bit and just pick something up. Fresh meat! In general we have a number of choices on hand and based on time/desire/etc we come to a decision on food.
We used to sit down and plan out a week or so in advance (never two months, that sounds a bit daunting). But it helps get a plan together, save money on grocery shopping if done right, and allows for free time during the week if you can knock out a big cook on a Sunday or something. I haven't done anything of the sort in the last six months and can report that our free time, waistlines and pockets have all been negatively hit by the lack of planning.
Damon called to remind me that I got very angry nobody would let me drive. I was hoping that the shtick was obvious, but in case it wasn't, I WAS JUST SCHTICKING! GM is not down with the drunken driving. Also, there's a bunch of cool, hip, trendy places that will have a happy hour for you in downtown Seattle starting at 3pm, but Dragon is my personal favorite. Be sure to use a happy hour app that will point you to all the current HH going on near you. If Blackberry has one, I'm sure your fancy phone will too.
My wife does a great job of couponing it up and getting certain items that are on sale depending on the week. It would seem flexibility is key there though because some weeks it's chicken, some weeks it's other ####.
You can add ground raffle meat to it if you like.
Turned out great. Boys devoured it. Add some chips to it and its a fine Mexican Monday Meal.
Cool. We do a lot of grilling in the summertime as well, so we have to do the same in regards to our proteins. I just know that when we leave dinner planning up to our 5:30 PM post-work selves, we aren't at our best.My wife does a great job of couponing it up and getting certain items that are on sale depending on the week.

trying to save money and plan things out - help cut down on food expense. hedge fund business ain't what it used to be.
Yes, but she does eat fish.
It was my idea to plan our meals out.
Every Friday is Cookout Friday, which is up to me to plan. I usually roll to the store on my way home and grab whatever I feel like grilling.
I should have known your wife was cooler than that.It was my idea to plan our meals out.
We want to limit our trips to Costco, so by planning, we have an idea of what we can stock up on for dinners. We also don't plan out meals for the nights we don't have the boys (Tues/Thurs/Sun + alt Sat). So really, we're just trying to save time and money by planning in advance. We have three kids and both work full time. Add in three sports for the spring (I coach two of them), a board seat that requires a lot of non-comped time and all the other trappings of time eating that goes middle aged home ownership fatherhood and it helps to know what's for dinner in advance.
BUT THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT!!!11

or anything else that might fit the bill. If every Monday was the same thing, I'd hate it. But there's some room for open field running. Those Mexicans sure have a lot of food ideas.

This guy just polished off a taco salad. Not meatless.
Understood. You buying and storing food for that long, Costco style? If so, I wonder what your extra refrigeration costs are if you've got a second one.noYes, but she does eat fish.
I'm feeding 20 people tomorrow night. I hope to get the menu finished this afternoon.
I can rebuild her. I can make her better.
For some stuff, yes. Things like ground beef and chicken are easily frozen and since my wife won't eat it and because we only have our boys 50% of the time, we don't need a giant freezer. In addition, when we cook out on the grill, I usually stop off at the store and buy whatever it is we're grilling fresh.But yeah, our garage shelves look like a mormon dwelling.Understood.
