Cheap Dollar Store Eats

September 30, 2025 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

Everyone is trying to stretch their food dollar. We went to the Dollar Tree store after work and I challenged myself to make a meal from ingredients I found there.

So I found some ham, stir-fry veggies, rice, and some teriyaki sauce, so I did a ham stir-fry.

So I put in the veggies, ham, a scrambled egg and rice and after a few minutes of cooking it turned out alright. I should have added more fat and some garlic and pepper. Otherwise, it was a decent first attempt. All total, it was just over $9 to make for two people. I will try it again sometime.

Daily writing prompt

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

View all responses

Hard work is a daily grind. My work is not physically demanding like many others, but it’s mentally grueling. I have a daily quota that is sometimes hard to reach for various reasons. When I reach that quota, it feels great because I have had to work really hard to get there. So yeah, I do feel fulfilled, but it can be frustrating and sometimes discouraging to get to where I need to be daily. Fulfillment can also come from other sources when work isn’t there for you.

Repeating Yourself – Blogging Edition

September 21, 2025 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

It’s more than OK, to repeat posts you have made in the past. When you have been blogging as long as I have, some things are worth mentioning again. I have created thousands of posts over the years, and there is no way I can keep up with them all in my head.

Some posts are good to revisit because you have a new idea or things have changed, where an updated post is a good idea. Blogs can be a way to capture what is in your head to share with others. Sharing is fun, right?

The saying “everything old is new again” is oh so true these days. With all the reboots and recycled ideas in culture. We are all different people than we once were. Blogging is supposed to be a living and evolving exercise. Enjoy the process of sharing an old idea in a new way. The most important thing is to Keep On Blogging!
