9. home again
10. a large bottle of tahini when I only need 1 1/2 T...and that I don't have to tell Kevin the price of it...
    
11. sticking to the list has meant that I stay within the budget...definitely a God-thing...because I do no prior calculations
    
12. a new recipe to try

25. Kevin finally being able to sit down beside me and relax for a few minutes before bed
