lunch ideas for less than 3 bucks

A few lunch ideas that cost less than three dollars! ...

Daphne's Greek Cafe -- order a side of their lemon soup (which comes with a couple small pieces of pita bread) and a side of rice. I wouldn't buy it for my husband - not filling enough for a man meal :) but great for a quick snack or a light lunch. Note: I've been to one Daphne's that did not charge me the side order price for the soup - so check before paying!

Rubio's Baja Grill -- this meal idea is courtesy of my friend Savanna :) If you want an inexpensive burrito (no meat) order one tortilla, one side of rice and one side of beans - so cheap! You can build the burrito yourself and add onions, salsa and lime juice from the salsa bar. It's very filling and tastes delicious.

El Patron Mexican Food -- they have the best (& biggest!) fish tacos I've had in San Diego. Just order two fish tacos, drown them in your favorite salsa and you will not be disappointed. Don't forget to grab a side of those free spicy carrots. Yum!

tip of the day

Use a baby bottle brush to clean the inside of your flower vases. You can find a brush in the baby aisle at most stores (Target, Walmart, etc.) for just $1 to $2. I especially love using it to clean my glass vases between bouquets.

spell checquer

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

tip of the day

Heard this tip on a technology blog a few months ago and thought it was worth sharing ... my husband and I tested it and it definitely works! If you want to avoid those annoying previews at the beginning of your movies, just click stop - stop again - then play. That will take you directly to the main movie and you can skip all the previews! It should work on most DVD and blu-ray players.

proof of our donut adventure!

national doughnut day friday!

This Friday, June 4th is National Doughnut Day! It was apparently started decades ago as a fundraiser for the Salvation Army. I saw a sign at Peterson's Donuts in Escondido last night that said they would be donating part of their proceeds to the Salvation Army.

On Friday, Dunkin' Donuts will be giving away a FREE donut with the purchase of any beverage.


Krispy Kreme is also giving away a FREE donut (no purchase necessary).
