My husband had to do an odd fast today where he could only eat meat/fish and rice or potatoes. No seasonings, no dairy, sugars, fruit or vegetables. He’s been dreading it and kept asking me what I am going to eat and telling me how he doesn’t want me to “suffer” eating bland food today just because he is. Very sweet but it’s only one day! Not a big deal. Tomorrow he is off for Good Friday and can take the test at home and mail it out. Modern medicine!
I went to the Italian market because I needed parmesan and bread for recipes for the book and at his urging got myself a sandwich for lunch which I promptly forgot to photograph. He had some ahi tuna on rice.
For dinner Matt made us steaks and I had some bread and broccoli and he had some roasted potato wedges.
Looking forward to a three day weekend even though I think it is going to be filled with a lot of recipe development. I think I’m going to make a couple dishes tomorrow for lunch. I really want to be finished with the recipe part soon!
Our tulips and daffodils are starting to bloom! We splurged some fancier bulbs and they are so pretty.
Only one more episode of School Spirits! I hope it’s on next week, IMDB says the 20th. Our guess is that they are going to find Maddie’s killer and if there is another season, Maddie will take over from creepy guidance counselor since she’s already helped one ghost cross over.
My dad’s oven is apparently never going to work again so I’m glad I planned cold dishes for Easter as sides. My brother has said that he never is going to contribute to family meals but I suggested that if he wants dessert, he might want to bring something! We will see. Matt and I might get a dessert just for us, we go over there for lunch and I’m not baking sweets this weekend. It doesn’t sound like Easter without cake though! I thinking the bakery might have extras of something even if it’s too late to place an order.
I’m also on a hunt for matzah since it’s Passover. All the matzah we’ve bought for the last few years, no matter what the brand, has been burnt! I hear Trader Joe’s has some this year. Maybe I will call and see if they have any next week. We normally make something for Passover at some point during the holiday but not having good matzah makes it difficult.
