No sense in wasting...time or peanut butter!!

Well, I didn't do very well at posting in less than 2 weeks, it's been almost a month!!  I have been feeling very homey lately.  I made my 2nd batch of homemade peanut butter today.  The 1st was a little too salty, but we ate it anyway...no sense in wasting peanut butter.  I have been organizing the hundreds, maybe even thousands, recipes I have collected over the past several years & have been trying some of them out.  We always seem to have our favorites, spaghetti, chicken & rice, tacos...  I am ready to break out of that pattern & try something new at least twice a week, but my family is not anywhere near ready.  I told them we were having teriyaki chicken tonight & they grumbled.  But when I said I was making banana bread for dessert, the smiles came out!!  I just can't help feeling like I need to be doing something else in my life right now...(as if there isn't enough already!)  Soo, I will begin cake decorating classes on Monday night.  Let's see how this goes since I have to eat a gluten-free diet & won't be able to taste my work......wait, maybe I can get away with trying more varieties at mealtimes as long as my family gets to sample my creations---awesome idea!!!  I'm sure there will be lots of wasted cake as I work on decorating, but my family certainly won't let it go to waste.  Just like the peanut butter, there is no sense in wasting!!
