I am probably fixing to do a bad thing. After discovering how very many
packages of Navy beans I have, I decided to make bean with bacon soup. The
recipe calls for a pound of bacon and one reviewer said this was too much.
I am thinking that it is. I seem to always mess up my bean soup when I add
bacon to it because I add far too much. I will look at the packages when I
go to the store to see how much a pound of it is. Normally I use the
precooked but this calls for some bacon grease as well.

Also, for the longest time, every time I made a pot of vegetable soup, I
made far too much of it and I know that if I freeze it, it will never get
eaten. My solution to that was to buy a smaller pot. And if I am planning
in advance to make it, to buy ingredients from the salad bar so I can buy
things in small quantities.

Then there is the Sloppy Joe thing. I have never liked those. Never ever.
But for some reason, every 2-3 years, they sound appealing. I make them and
I never like them. Husband complains that they are messy and he can't pick
them up. Duh! I have always thought of them as fork food.

I should make lasagna soon too. Maybe that's what I'll do with that ground
beef that I have. I make mine with no cheese then I add cheese to my
husband's portion. It's not quite the same that way but it works for me.

I have finally gotten the point that less is more when it comes to pizza. I
used to add so many toppings and so much cheese that I wound up with a huge
mess.
