everyday eating during "unprecedented" times
I tried some frozen kati rolls for lunch and they were not great! One was really gristly.
It was my last button class today! It was a bit of a mess as usual, I had to overnight a marble of all things. I feel like I learned a bunch but everything about that class was such a mess.
For dinner we had pot roast, mash and green beans from the meal prep place.
For lunch I had some soup. Matt got something from a food truck near work.
The serviceberry is full of fruit!
I did another shop for ice cream and soda for the other house and took it directly there.
For dinner we had leftover pizza.
For lunch we split the leftover beef/mash/brussels from the other night.
I did a little grocery shop.
For dinner I made ahi tuna, corn on the cob and we had the leftover cold salads from Saturday.
I finished a shawl.
For lunch I had the leftover knockwurst. Matt mowed the lawn at the other house and picked up a sandwich.
My guild meeting/yearly auction was today but I had a migraine so I skipped it.
For dinner we got the pizza we talked about last week. We tried a new one with pesto, pepperoni and hot honey and I was skeptical but it was good!
We had a salad too but they forgot the dressing and parm so we had to make our own.
Since we bought plants last weekend we skipped the plant sale we were going to go to and got steamed crabs and cupcakes instead. Both places are near each other but not near us so it makes sense to pair them up! Even if it isn’t a birthday.
They had a special Preakness Black-eyed Susan cupcake with pineapple curd that was really good.
The crabs were good!
They had soft crabs so I cleaned and made them for dinner. On the said we had coleslaw Matt made, shrimp & mac salad and potato salad from the seafood store.
The place that sells the club sandwiches and pasta dinner specials is under new ownership so we tried their club for lunch. It was good! They were out of chips (which comes with it) so they gave us fries instead which was nice.
For dinner we were going to get pizza but there was an awful storm that apparently included a tornado in the shopping center where I bought bagels this week. No people injuries but a very odd event for Baltimore City! is We were fine and pivoted to what was going to be tomorrow’s dinner of José Andrés new beef in sherry sauce from Costco. It was solid! We had it with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts.
I’ve been looking for something like that for a quick meal. So often the prepared meats are for meals that will require ingredients to go with them that we we don’t always have on hand like tacos or gyros so I’ve wanted a meat that could go with pretty much any vegetable and something we always have like potatoes or noodles. There was a lot of gravy so we did cook the whole 2 lb box and have leftovers.
The plumber came today and then at bedtime we noticed the faucet is no longer flush with the wall so I guess we will have to have them come back! Matt was working when they were here and I guess didn’t notice. I was at the other house with the dogs.
Did some cleaning and catching up with things today. Lunch was some soup and the end of some corn chips.
Busy evening but made roasted yellow squash, knackwurst and potatoes. I am surprised to see the date on that post!
Lulu was dropped off at the vet this morning for tests about her cough. They have you drop them off before they open and then pick them up in the evening and wait around for the vet to talk to you which is a little odd but I guess works. It was awkward because she couldn’t eat or drink this morning in case they needed to sedate her for an x-ray so we tried to let the dogs sleep until she had to go and I fed the other two later. They howled and howled when she left.
I had paperwork and printer drama around lunch so I ended up having soup and pretzels/cheese and Matt picked himself up something.
For dinner I made baked potatoes and we had with leftover beef, leftover chicken and salad.
A potato exploded in the oven! I’ve never had that happen before. I almost thought it was a myth.
For lunch I had the last bagel and the last of the cream cheese. I also heated up leftover pilaf and baby potatoes as a snack, there was not much of either left but too much to toss.
For dinner we chopped up leftover beef and had it on rolls and made coleslaw and fruit salad to go with.
I did a tiny shop this morning near the bagel shop so I got us bagels and salmon cream cheese for lunch.
For dinner we made baked chicken thighs and spinach-mushroom-wild rice pilaf. The trick is cooking the chicken on a bed of onions.
