Support CALCIUM! Drink expired milk!

I admit, I almost dashed...or I sort of did. I took a friend to get his hair cut between Cedar and Alder street on  6th avenue in Tacoma at Nani Hair Cuts. We ended up deciding to visit another friend to wait until traffic died down. I ended up cooking some frozen ground turkey. Most awkward thing ever. Not really, but when you have meat that is clumping up in long flat strips when you want it to be finely ground...just slight awkward. I never got it as fine as I wanted. This summer I learned that you don't always have all the time in the world to cook. This led to Hamburger Helper every once in a while. Tonight I made Whole Wheat Beef Stroganoff. I didn't really do anything special with it - I do have a special way to make Mac and Cheese though. There wasn't much to say about it...something saucy with some slightly rubbery meat. I think the turkey would've cooked better had it been properly thawed.

I actually got stuff from the store on my way home too. I have some gram cracker crusts, half and half, and some marshmallows. I plan to melt chocolate and marshmallows together to and thin it with a little half-and-half to make a filling to put in the cooked crust. I will then cover the pie in marshmallows and broil the it to golden perfection.

When I arrived home I went to the bakery so that I wouldn't waste my $13.75 - so instead I was charged $13.75 for less than $7.00 of over priced food ($5 for the sandwich, $2 for the chips and soft serve Ice cream). The only good thing was that I was given free milk - that expired today. The sign on them said that they were free because Tahoma Bakery supported Calcium, conveniently the expiration date did not face the people taking it. It is ok to offer free milk to people because you can't sell it when it expires and it would be wasteful to toss it, but false advertising that they support calcium isn't professional. Dining Services would offer free milk at swipe meals at the bakery if they really supported healthy decisions and calcium. Its not like the cost wouldn't be absorbed by our meal swipe we payed for.
