Dinner turned out well enough last night, and most economical at that. DD (aka 'Potato Girl') had specifically requested mashed potatoes and gravy, which I whipped up and supplemented with peas, as well as some patty/cutlet thingies I created from spiced navy beans I'd pressure cooked and mashed, along with a few other ingedients. Despite how that might sound they were actually quite yummy, and no leftovers -- I'll have to remember what I used in them so I can make it again.....

We also all watched a library-borrowed DVD last night -- very entertaining, and in theory free (if I can remember to get it back in time). Our local library does have a great selection. The competition is fierce though -- the latest and greatest films are almost never in (although I do believe it's possible to put movies on 'hold' -- I just never bother to do it. We dont' mind older, less popular titles -- although every so often we get lucky....).

I anticpate no spending by me today -- although DH is attending a soccer refereeing clinic to renew his licence, requiring a fee of some sort. Otherwise, there will be no retail spending at least -- well, by us anyway. My inlaws are coming down later for a short visit, and want to take us out to dinner this evening (they will also be bringing their extra car for us)....
