Had a hard time getting going today. Woke up with what felt like a hangover. Just couldn't get up and moving. It was 2 in the afternoon by the time I started doing anything.

I had a stifling headache all day.

I made some Taco Casseroles for the weekly lunch plan. The recipe says that it makes Six Servings. But I think that those are six servings with a salad and a veggie side. I went ahead and made two batches with two servings per dish that I put into the fridge so it would last me all week. It took me a bit longer than I thought it would to cook the two batches of the casserole which is strange because it was just a matter of browning the ground beef, mixing it all together, and then baking it

I did chug a quite a bit of milk while cooking the first batch of the casserole. The casserole has bell peppers in it and it has a sliced Jalapeno on top. As I was cleaning up while the casserole was baking I saw a bowl that I thought was the bowl that had the bell pepper in it and it had some seeds in it. So I absentmindedly scooped a seed and ate it. It wasn't the bowl that had the bell pepper. It was the bowl that had the jalapeno. I have to say that was a bit spicier than I was expecting. Not quite an emergency, but I don't think I'd do too well on Hot Ones or anything like that. I am under the impression that starches and dairy nullifies Capsaicin. I didn't have much starchy food laying around, but thankfully the Taco Casserole includes milk. So I was chugging milk right out of the carton.

I cooked Taco Casserole for the lunches for this week, but I had a coupon for a free package of Bratwursts so I had those for lunch today inbetween cooking the casseroles .

After cooking the lunch for the week I took inventory of the freezer to get a meal plan for the week. And I do have to say that it is so satisfying to count all of the food that I have. It's only a couple of weeks worth of meat. I'm not sure what I'll do when I get through the meat that I have in the freezer. What I was doing previously was constantly overloading the freezer. And I'm not sure that I ever saved money by loading up the freezer because I would keep buying more to keep loading it even more.

Tried to play some Oblivion, but my heart just wasn't in it. And my headache didn't want it either.

I also had a coupon off of some boxes of macaroni and cheese. I used the recipe for the taco seasoning and some ground beef to make Taco Mac. Writing that down I'm kind of chuckling at the name because Taco Mac sounds like Tokamak which is a type of machine that they're trying to use to make Nuclear Fusion Power. I'm sure that a Tokamak has a lot fewer carbs than Taco Mac, but oh well. I'll diet tomorrow.

People are launching fireworks outside. I have to say that it would be nice to have that kind of money to just light on fire.
