Actually I don't know if it qualifies as stew since there's not a whole lot of liquid left...anyway, I picked up a package of stew beef at the Raley's for ~$6 after the $3 off coupon, browned that up, and threw it in the crockpot along with a cup of barley, a couple of cans of mixed veggies, a cup of chicken broth, and 1/2 c. water because I didn't think the water in the mixed veggies would be enough liquid for the barley. Worked out pretty well. Also threw the makings for an express loaf of white bread in the robot except I subbed 1/4 c. potato flakes for the last 1/4 c. of flour, and that came out okay as well.
There was a ton of mail, mostly from political candidates, but there was also an envelope of clippings from Martin, and a bill from Mineral County that I need to call the VA about on Monday. Also, my new glasses were waiting for me in the box, so I put them on and already I can see a lot better.
On my way to the Raley's I blew up a bunch of Blackwasp's portals and set up a few of my own, but unfortunately didn't have enough portal keys to set up any fields, so I'm on the short end of a 1-428 score. Tomorrow I'll maybe go blow up more of his stuff, replace it with mine, and maybe even get some fields thrown. I didn't do First Saturday because I was lazy and didn't sign up for it, also I couldn't be arsed to hunt down the necessary swag & flair.
I bought a bunch of stuff at Raley's, more than I planned to, but a lot of it is stuff that was on sale or that I wanted to make the beef barley stew-like component. Got some fresh fruit, a bunch of the Sunnydale Greek yogurt (which has slightly less carbs than the Chobani, costs a lot less, and has better mouthfeel), eggs, cream, and some fresh fruit (strawberries & blackberries) that were on sale.
