So I have been thinking…
I haven’t posted in a week or so. That is my own laziness/preoccupation. I did want to post about something Beau and I were yammering about. We go out, a whole lot, and sometimes we feel guilty about the amount we spend. We decided to start The Penny Project. Every time we splurge, we will put a penny or two in a jar. At the end of every month, we’ll count the pennies and grab the checkbook. Each penny will represent a dollar we will pledge to a charity or food bank.
I know there are millions of people who went out and paid for expensive tasting menus tonight while millions of others went hungry. I am not knocking anyone who went and treated themselves to a beautiful meal. It just made me think about what we personally feel is important to spend money on. We are pretty indulgent. I think Beau and I are ready to try and give something back. I mean, I am going to be posting about the guacamole stadium I made for Super Bowl. Like I really needed to make a STADIUM out of Haas avocados. That stadium is getting its own penny for the jar.
Happy Valentines to everyone out there. Thankfully, love is one of those wonderful things that doesn’t need a special day to be shared and embraced. Though the pink cookies are quite cheerful.
