This morning I got up and drove across town to the only Michaels in Central Maryland to have the black yarn I needed for my friend’s project. Why was that an ordeal? It’s just cheap black yarn! But I have it now and while I was there I used a 40% off coupon to pick up a mini loaf pan that makes really mini loaves that I think might work for some of the old-timey (and New Zealand) “gem” recipes I’ve been finding in old cookbooks.
For lunch I made myself an epic pulled pork grilled cheese and Matt has his leftover pulled pork over rice.
For dinner the plan was steak and fritters but one (both?) of the steaks was rotten despite being about 6 days out from the sell-by date. I don’t know what happened. Also I realized some chicken was freezer burnt that I planned to have Wednesday.
I ended up making the squash fritters and we debated about getting some take out but we have such poor options here. I finally found some fish cakes I had bought at Lidl on clearance for like $1.50 as an emergency lunch option and we had those.
Not sure what we are going to do tomorrow for dinner–we have a fair amount of vegetables and I think maybe tofu. Maybe some frozen scallops? More hands-on choices than I was hoping for. The chicken was supposed to get me to Thursday so I could shop then. I really don’t want to spend my days when I’m home alone and can work in the quiet driving out to the suburbs to grocery shop.
