Sometimes the heat makes me less hungry, but sometimes it makes me crave ice cream! Yesterday was an ice cream day.

My Discover cycle closed today, bringing me $9.12 in cashback rewards. I applied them to my statement, and added the amount to my snowflakes.

No spending yesterday.

Today I'm going to take my oldest grandson to lunch at a seafood restaurant of his choice. My son has warned me he will want crab, but there is a kind of "crab in a bag" option that is reasonable. It's too bad I didn't arrange to take my younger grandson to IHOP today instead of Friday, since you can get short stacks for .58 today -- however, I decided it would be crowded, anyway, and not an enjoyable atmosphere for a "date."

I made some spaghetti sauce from scratch yesterday -- well, almost from scratch. I started with a can of stewed tomatoes. I cooked it down, seasoned it, and added mushrooms. I think it will be great for dinner. I'm going to serve it on ravioli.

For tomorrow, I have Spanish rice defrosting in the fridge. It is my aim to work through the food in the freezer for the rest of the month and to buy as few groceries as possible.
