everyday eating during "unprecedented" times
I picked up a magazine holder from Facebook Marketplace in the morning while Matt got us sushi for lunch.
We made rosemary bread in the bread machine.
For dinner had sandwiches with the leftover beef from Thanksgiving and salad.
We put the lights on the tree and some bulbs had bits of the liner of the light bag stuck on them. So bizarre! How does that happen? I ordered more but luckily we had a back up strand. It’s hard to find the LED lights that really look like the old fashioned ones.
I ran to Target in the morning and it was pretty empty. I didn’t need anything Black Friday related and it just looked like a regular day but with more registers open.
For lunch Matt got us the crabcake special at the meal prep place.
It is solid! Their sides can be hit or miss though, it came with some bland pasta salad.
He had to work today and tonight so he grabbed us some of their turkey dinners for tonight so we had turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce for dinner which was nice since we didn’t have that yesterday.
Matt made us a Georgia Candy Roaster Squash tart with mushrooms and goat cheese, a NY strip roast and melting potatoes for our big meal.
It was all really good! We have a good bit leftover since it was just the two of us.
For the other meal we had some pasta and a cupcake.
I drove out to pick up the Thanksgiving cupcakes I ordered. It took forever! I didn’t feel like it was that much traffic but driving to that area takes like 15 minutes longer than it used to.
We were going to have soup for lunch but Matt had got some from the meal prep place for his lunch and it was super salty. He ended up getting up some Thanksgiving sandwiches from the pit beef place. They were good but missing the cranberries again. We added lingonberries.
For dinner we had a weird “shepherds pie” from the meal prep place that was ground turkey topped with mashed potatoes and stuffing. I don’t think we’d get that again, it was oddly greasy. I think we expected it to be regular turkey not ground? It was kind of a sloppy mess.
We had apple pie cupcakes for dessert because they had whipped cream icing and apple compote and didn’t think they’d hold up until tomorrow.
Matt prepped the meal for tomorrow after picking up some ingredients at the store. Hopefully tomorrow will go smoothly! It’s just us but it would be nice to have a good meal.
More soup for lunch! And an apple.
For dinner we steamed some broccoli and had Swedish meatballs and egg noodles from the meal prep place. Not super exciting!
Soup for lunch again and some stuffing chips from Aldi.
For dinner we had tiny pies and pot roast, green beans and mash from the meal prep place.
Did some cleaning and organizing.
Back to home and I had my leftover chaat for lunch.
For dinner I had my leftover chili tofu and tossed it in with my leftover Peruvian green beans. Surprisingly it worked!
Matt made us scrambled eggs and ham with toast for lunch. I really don’t know where the day went!
For dinner Matt wanted Peruvian food so we got that. I had my usual lomo saltado and green beans.
I thought we were going to make dinner but Matt wanted takeout so I got some various chaat and some chili tofu and Matt got tandoori chicken. I honestly don’t remember lunch! I really tried to get through some library books, everyone must be home reading because I keep getting 2-3 a day in on Libby.
I had some soup for lunch and then Matt made some bone-in pork chops, green beans and roasted potatoes for dinner. I was so hungry!
I finished my button homework!
We decorated the tree at the river house! My goal was to make it look like we had been collecting ornaments all along but I really sourced them in like six weeks.
