everyday eating during "unprecedented" times
I had my button class so I went to the other house and made lunch. I had the last of the ribs chopped up and sautéed it with leftover baked potatoes. I had some pineapple too.
Lots of button making today!
The class is a true wreck but I have learned some things. I had to make this one real quick because she told us at the last minute we had to have it for class to make something with it.
For dinner Matt made steak, broccolini and wild rice pilaf.
I had my retina appointment in the morning so I was pretty out of it all day. We did run in Trader Joe’s and picked some some odds and ends and some frozen pizza for lunch.
The ribs reheated well for dinner. We also had corn muffins and spinach and mushrooms.
Matt went into work and I had Chinese food leftovers.
For dinner I made coho salmon, roasted cauliflower and baby potatoes,
The pink daffodils are blooming!
It was unexpectedly nice weather today! Matt went to Lidl and got some groceries and we tried one of their take and bake pizzas for lunch. It wasn’t bad but I think I like Aldi’s better.
Then he smoked some baby back ribs most of the afternoon. We had that, baked potatoes and a salad from Lidl that was “street corn” flavored.
Actually nice if cloudy weather today!
We went up to York and walked around the little Main Street. We got a new plant and Matt got some japchae at the Central Market.
We stopped at our favorite popcorn store on the way home so I had some of that and and some soup when we got back.
We were going to get sushi from one of the places downtown last week but Matt didn’t feel great so we got it today. It was all really good! They even had toro.
For lunch we made turkey and capicola sandwiches.
For dinner we got some Chinese takeout and the old staff seemed to be totally gone? The place we get spaghetti and meatballs was sold. What is going one? The food was good though and now they have shrimp egg rolls.
I had leftover fried chicken for lunch.
For dinner we had the last of the crab cakes and the various cold salads from Monday’s lunch.
Back home from the staycation! Honestly it was kind of a bust. I did hear a lot of birds and used the Merlin app. I’ve always wondered about some of the birds down there. My grandpop knew some but I think some are newer. I haven’t heard a bobwhite yet but we only were there in the summers so maybe it isn’t time yet.
When we got back, I unpacked and Matt ran to the Italian store and got sandwich stuff for lunch for today and Friday.
For dinner we had crabcakes again because we made so many yesterday! We even had one and a half each and we still have some for tomorrow. We had the leftover mashed potatoes and then made yellow squash.
We also tried some Zitner’s Butter Krak eggs that we finally found at Weis. I heard about them last year and couldn’t find them. They were good! I wasn’t sure if it was going to be something people rave about but you had to grow up eating or if they’d be legit good but they were tasty.
Still on staycation! Today is our anniversary!
For lunch I tried a Greek place that’s closer to here than home and it was solid! The eggplant was really good. Matt stuck to a safer sandwich.
For dinner we made crab cakes (but doubled), chive mashed potatoes and asparagus.
We have so many leftovers! I think we will have crab cakes for dinner the next two nights.
Another dreary day! At least in the morning we saw a Great Blue Heron super close. Mitzi barked at it but the bird was unfazed.
For lunch Matt had some rice and eggs and I got some fried chicken and cold sides from the good deli supermarket nearby.
For dinner I had the squid dupbap that we didn’t even touch yesterday because we had so much food. It reheated pretty well.
The weather and Matt not feeling 100% really threw off our meal plans. We weren’t planning on being here so much and the meal I did plan didn’t work anymore.
