Unngh

Today was B12 shot day and I'm not feelin the love..

Except I beat the DR out of $70 by stabbing myself in the butt, I wasn't exposed to contagion by going in.... didn't have to pay $20 for a .50C medication..or tolerate some smug twat who makes his living from peoples fears of mortality...

Of course its the most awkward shot I can think of giving ones-self....... but for a grand total of around $90 for 3 minutes work.... I can suffer through it... A penny saved is a penny earned and for now tax free...

Bastards..

I think thats why I cook..... it costs $3 for a $40 dinner and I know I got the best quality.. not that every meal is $40....Hummis, a salad and flat bread is less than $5 in a resturant.. and less than $1 at home.. I also like oatmeal and polenta which is pretty cheap... as is any kind of beans..

The $40+ a plate fare is usually a salmon or something unusual... squid, shellfish, something not that I don't make a nice $40 Country Capitan or coque au vin.. I just dont have that much animal protien in my diet, having stopped growing vertically a while back...

Not that I spare on ingredients.... I like Parmesan in a block so I can grate it myself as needed, not the stuff in the shaker can, which tastes and feels like a mouthful of dirt given its mostly microcellulose... Real tomatoes that aren't hard and crunchy as apples..

I don't mind spending.... but I want good value..

Once upon a time in cold country I would grain feed pigs and chickens, milk cows and generally stay busy in the wee hours.. reason being the quality of dinner was exponentially improved... same thing with produce tree fruits..

Trust me thats where the real value is....

And I saved $89.50 on my shots...
