Day 1871: Crab Cake

RachelLeave a comment

For lunch we had ham and eggs to finish up the rest of the ham.

For dinner we had salad, the rest of the leftover potatoes and crab cakes from the meal prep place. They were pricey but massive!

Matt did a tiny Lidl shop while he was out getting gas. I’m not sure what we are doing this weekend so I didn’t want to stock up too much! There is a festival Saturday but the weather looks sketchy.

I read Care and Feeding in the hammock and a deer came and was just chilling in our yard. Right here in the city!

Day 1869: Stuffed Shrimp

RachelLeave a comment

We had the rest of the shrimp and pasta salad for lunch.

The plan was to have some frozen meatballs for dinner but I realized there were only a few in the bag so we picked up some things at the meal prep place.

They had stuffed shrimp which was actually really good! It came with rice and roasted vegetables. I love stuffed shrimp but it’s fiddly and expensive to make.

Day 1866: Soft Crabs

RachelLeave a comment

It’s Good Friday so Matt suggested we get fish for lunch since he was off and I thought places would probably have seafood specials. Growing up we’d sometimes get a filet-o-fish from McDonald’s on Good Friday because they’d always be good and fresh.

A new to us place had soft crab sandwiches (my favorite!) as a special and we got them and rockfish bites. So good! We will have to try something else there, the place was busy for a Friday afternoon.

For dinner we had pork with mushrooms and mashed potatoes from the meal prep place and made a tomato salad.

Day 1864: Meatloaf

RachelLeave a comment

I had my button class. Only two more! This one was so disorganized, she couldn’t find the examples, she keeps using the same white and silver thread doesn’t work and starting over and told us the wrong way to make a button so I had to start over. Oy. I’ve enjoyed making the buttons but the disorganization 16 weeks in is astonishing.

I had a cobbled together mix of leftovers: mash, sausage, zucchini and asparagus for lunch.

For dinner we made meatloaf but the green beans we just bought were bad?? We were planning on getting some prepared meals for tomorrow/Friday anyway so while the meatloaf was in the oven Matt went and got them and some sides to try.

The dogwood bloomed!

Day 1863: Pot Pie

RachelLeave a comment

I had to hang out at the other house while they checked the air conditioning and cleaned the unit. I had soup. It took a lot longer than expected; we don’t have air conditioning at home!

Matt had taken a lunch but went on a walk with a coworker and picked me up a brownie. It was good! I almost felt like there was jam on it but it didn’t have seeds. There was a fruitiness to it though.

I picked up a pot pie from the farm stand on the way home and Matt had some Chinese food.

I had to make a return in the morning and then I stopped by this cute craft store in the community center run by senior citizens.

I had another bagel for lunch then for dinner Matt had turkey and rice and I made some German sausages and leftover mash and we both had asparagus.

I made another tiny chicken.
