went shopping again for groceries today. It seems somewhat excessive as my roommate has pointed out. I think i've stocked up enough and should be quite good for hopefully two weeks. If that's the case 100 bucks will have lasted very well. Today's focus was on meat, for 28 bucks i picked up 1kg of pork loin chops, 600g of thick rump steak and 600g of lamb. I really dont have a handle on how long this meat will last me though. I freezered it all, and plan to defrost in the morning what i plan to eat at night.
rice, veges ( leek, capsicum, eggplant and carrot) made up the rest of it which came up to $44.57. *CHA CHING* perhaps that is the cost of food, but my gut feelings tell me i can go cheaper, somehow. Perhaps find a proper butcher, shopping at woolies can't be economical.
For dinner (and tomorrow's lunch) I cooked up an old favourite of mine, Japanese beef and potato stew. It's very simple homecooking style of dish, so although cooking time is about an hour (35 if u dont put too much water in) it's quite worth it. Potatoes are soft and meaty, while the meat is sweet and tender. I'm perplexed about tomorrow though, I can't think of anything id like to cook...

so you've gone the freezer method huh?
my dream would be to have a REALLY good market near my house, or conveniently on the way home where I can buy the fresh produce before cooking it.
yeah that would be absolutely ideal. I finish work at around 6ish most days.. and the only shop that is still open is woolies =P
maybe thats a new business model... a night grocery market, doesnt open until 4pm and goes till 10pm or soemthing ...
