Less than a Month

Soon I will have to throw away or give away most (all) of our food.  The movers won't move it overseas.  So I guess what I am asking for is a list of basic necessities and spices so I can stockpile again when I get our new home. 

Also all of you in my family that coupon please start sending your expired coupons to me. I will email all of you with my new address. It will help a lot.

We are feeling the need to tie up loose ends now with less than a month until we move out of NM.  We got a new sponsor yesterday.  Today we fixed everything so that we can pick up our tickets to Baltimore and Germany on the 5th. Now is just finishing outprocessing and getting our personal things finished.

Wanting a New "Kitchen"

When we got here we had near pristine dishes, mind you we didn't have all the baking needs covered but they were new looking, if not new.  Now half of our STAINLESS steel flatware is rusted because of the salt content, the other half has food that even my angriest moment couldn't remove.  Our teflon pot and pans have nicks and cuts and that is not healthy.  Our bakeware not only lacks in necessity but it has seen the same rath that the other dishes have. Our plates have seen kittens pushing them on to the floor and breaking them to the salt and bad dishwasher.  SO my plan is to get new dishes and start all over.

Temp-tations is the name of the maker.  All hand painted.  Two items that I am planning on getting.  16 piece bakeware with wire baskets and trivets and plastic tops that make it easy to store as well.  Also a set of dishes.  Just those will make my kitchen match and I will be able to entertain.

Cooks essentials set of 8 pots and pans.  With a lifetime guarantee on the teflon.  Even heating.  Nice bonus on the 6qt stockpot it has a locking drain lid.

It is good our anniversary is the 13th of Nov and Christmas is coming up.

Pre-Inspection

Well actually it was a woman making sure that there wasn't a hole in the living room or anything. The only other thing was let me know what I needed to accomplish on the day that the movers come and take our stuff. Here I was working my butt off this morning trying to make the inspection go well and all she did was walk in the house and tell me stuff to do, then leave. I shouldn't be complaining but it was just a little stressful and all for nothing.

Almost ready for the wedding next week and trying my hardest to figure out what we need for food before we go. Being there is easy going to Tokyo Joe's the first night, probably going to eat at the wedding the second night and the drives of course fast food.

So nervous that I am not going to get all I need to get done before Germany. Also very worried because things are piling up so fast that it is going to be hard to do Denver. We are going to Denver just going to be harder than I thought.
