An expensive meal

Today was shopping day, and Bill brought home a pound of beef tenderloin, which cost $28.00! Believe me, we cooked it with great care, and luckily it was good. Since I don't eat beef steak, Bill has a couple of hearty meals coming up. We didn't want to fire up the barbecue, so we seared it in a cast iron frying pan, and cooked it medium rare. Everything is so expensive, we have lentil beans and split pea soup a couple of times a week in order to keep to our budget. We console ourselves with the knowledge that legumes and foods with fiber are good for us.
We are listening to a book tape and I am knitting as well. I have completed six inches and have about fourteen inches further to go. I knit about four inches a day.
