March creeps in slowly

I did not shop for a week. We lived on extra food, and take out. I broke my own rule about eating out. I blame report cards. They are bane of my life three times a year. lol

I am supposed to be trying two new recipes for dinner a week right now. However, I am not motivated this week. However, I do want to my asparagus tomorrow. I stink at making asparagus, so maybe I should find a recipe for that.
