I was feeling like we were being so lazy with eating out. We had a particularly stressful couple of weeks and I thought that doing this was fine - you can't do everything all of the time and the ease of not having to worry about what to cook for dinner took some of the burden off. How we get too comfortable with being lazy though

I hear ya on the dining-out front. Dinner mainly falls to me, and I'm just too fried to think about stuff. We recently bought a few thaw-and-bake items that will see us through nights where dinner is an afterthought. :)

As far as pork butt, it does VERY well in the Crock Pot. Add shaved onions, and then once it's all tender (low for 8-10 hours), take it out, drain the fat, shred the pork, and mix with whatever BBQ concoction you want. Presto - pulled pork! It's a nice, easy go-to and turns into leftovers quite nicely. :)

You should sew and knit when you can! I remember your alien scarf from a few years back. SO awesome!

We have been doing a lot of meal planning based on what is in the pantry (particularly our own preserved things) and the freezer in preparation for the new CSA season. I actually really like the feeling of pantry planning. It is a satisfying thing :)
