buy instant oats.
Plan menus two weeks out before grocery shopping. Carve out time in
your schedule (about 30 minutes) to plan your breakfasts, lunches, dinners
and snacks for the next 10 to 14 days. Consider keeping a folder of recipes    The Funny Bone
you want to try. Remember to check on toothpaste and other sundries!
 Grocery-shop three times a month, and stick to your list. Pit can seem
impractical if you eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables But if you bring
them home, prep them immediately and keep them in airtight containers,
most stuff easily lasts 10 days.
 Designate a "meal prep" day. Every 10 days or so, spend three to four
hours cooking big batches of stuff -- rice and beans, morning gruel, root
vegetables, a casserole to freeze, etc.
Keep a list of what's in the freezer. You might totally forget you have it!
Keep a list on the fridge that you update every 10 to 14 days.
Keep comfort food ready to go. Keep fixings on hand for things that
sound better than takeout, like a grilled cheese sandwich or Mac &
Cheese!                                                                          Its a Hamsticorn!

March Client of the Month: Lucille Cairns 

                                          Lucille Carins has led an interesting life.  In the past, shes done 
                                          modeling and was accepted into the Julliard music program for her 
                                          vocal and piano talent.  Unfortunately, a bout with polio the summer 
                                          after graduating from high school prevented her from attending.   
                                          I am a people person, Lucille said.  My mother always told me I was 
                                          born with the Salvation Army bell in my hand. 
                                          Lucille is most passionate about her family.  She raised four children 
                                          and now is blessed with seven grandchildren who call her Lulu. 

                                          My children have done quite well, Lucille said proudly.  
                                          Lucille has lived twelve happy years here in Venice. 
                                          I was reluctant to come here initially because I love Chicago, Lucille 
                                          admitted.  My husband retired early and we started out having two 
                                          homes, one in Chicago and one in Venice. Now we reside in Venice 
                                          permanently. 
Venice has its own charm, said Lucille.  I love our particular housing development, Sawgrass.  At the 
time we moved there it was just getting developed. 
Lucille enjoys filling her days with volunteering in the community (she has been known to play the piano 
in nursing homes), playing tennis, shopping, going to the beach, spending time with her grandchildren 
who visit every winter, and traveling with her husband. 
We travel a lot and we love to cruise, Lucille said.  For our 50th wedding anniversary, we took our 
entire family on a two week trip to Scotland. 
Lucille has been a loyal customer of 1 Stop Car and Truck Repair since purchasing an emerald green 
Mazda Miata in 2001.    

1 Stop kept my Miata in tip-足top condition, said Lucille. Everyone wanted to buy my car.  It was in great 
shape, thanks to 1 Stop. 

Lucille was involved in a car accident, which totaled her beloved Miata.  Thankfully she was unharmed.  
She replaced her Miata with a Pontiac G6 convertible. 

To give you an idea of how much I trust 1 Stop, when 
my Pontiac was leaking transmission fluid, I brought it 
in to 1 Stop, not the GM dealership, Lucille explained.  
The dealership wouldve done the work for free 
under warranty, but I trust my cars to 1 Stop so I paid 
for them to fix this issue. 
Lucille continually refers customers to 1 Stop Car and 
Truck repair.   

A good mechanic and a good doctor is always hard to find, said Lucille.  Ive found my good mechanic! 
1 Stop is great, raves Lucille.  Theyre personable, theyre always smiling and theyre definitely 
customer-足friendly, which means a lot.  Theyve taken the time to get to know me.
