I finally remembered to get a hotel room for Intercon N for Bernie and me. This is later than I normally do it, so I was glad there was no problem. But now I need to find two roommates. Bernie and I have a suite, and we are looking for two people to share with for the weekend who will be willing to split the cost four ways with us. Two people who won't mind sharing a bed would probably be ideal, but any two who would be okay figuring out whatever arrangement would be fine. We really would like to find at least two, in order to make the cost manageable. E-mail me and let me know!

I've been using this great website a lot lately by the name of Supercook. It's a recipe database of sorts, but not the typical one. You type in all the random ingredients you have in your house, and it searches through the Internet for what recipes will make the most efficient use of them. You can even choose which ingredients to prioritize, so that you can narrow the suggestions to your taste.

This website is great for me because I have a tendency to buy ingredients for a specific dish and not know what to do with the rest of it once that dish is cooked. Despite it being an old problem for me, I've just never managed to get the trick of planning meals more than just a day or two at once, so I spend a lot of time staring at bits and bobs in the fridge and cupboard not knowing what do with them. I also tend to cook with specific dishes in mind, so I'm not very good at thinking the other way around, starting from the ingredients and working forward, rather than starting with a dish and working back. But it's helped me make much better use of things before they go bad when I can survey my kitchen, enter them into Supercook, and make whatever it pops up.

I still mean to learn how to meal plan better. (On top of all the other things I plan to improve about myself.) But this helps me make up for that deficiency until then.
