I don't know if I'd be able to repeat this every week. I like variety. I should also point out that I had certain conditions in that I had to eat fruit and vegetables - which may have left me with lower quality and/or less "full" flavours (a contributing factor to wanting variety). @aric

Too bad my: Rent is $590 a month Electricity is $120 a month Cable modem is $60 a month Gas for heat is $60 a month Car insurance is $50 a month So that is like $250 a week without gas and beer.

I fully recognise there are other costs involved in "living".
