A plethora of potatoes: Part 2-My bologna has a first name...

Nineteen days into my experiment of no-grocery shopping for a month, my fridge is down to a handful of random food items.

A clove of garlic.

The remains of a 100-count package of sliced cheddar cheese.

Pickles.

And bologna. Oh, yes, a full package of bologna.

I bought it for my parents' visit over Labor Day weekend. My nephew came with them, and he likes bologna. Actually, that's about all he will eat. But I bought the wrong brand and my nephew, a.k.a. Bologna Boy, refused to eat it.

So now I have an unopened package of Oscar Meyer bologna in the back of the fridge, hiding behind the potatoes.

I almost tossed it, but given that I have more than 10 more days of this experiment and the pantry contents are dwindling rapidly, I put it back.

Just in case the worse comes to pass, anyone have a recipe for potato, cheese and bologna casserole?

Um, no, but I'm VERY impressed that you've lasted this long! Now tell me, how tempted have you been to run in for just one thing?

Very tempted, Isabel. It's about to get worse, though. I ate the last of the eggs today--so baking almost anything other than bread just became impossible.

When I am out of eggs for baking I substitute mayonnaise. I have baked incrdible cakes using mayonnaise

Gary, that's an excellent idea. Thanks!
