Day 1885: Pot Roast

I drove over to the other house after the play. It was a long night but the appraiser was coming early and I thought it would be easier than having to head over during rush hour. It’s the last bit of estate type thing I need to do! It’s just for documentation and pricey but I like to check all the boxes.

I had some leftover Singapore noodles for lunch with some leftover chicken mixed in.

I had my button class. Only one more!

For dinner we had pot roast, mash and roasted carrots from the meal prep place.

Day 1884: Leftovers, Leftovers

I did some cleaning and organizing at home that took much longer than expected.

Lulu is still coughing a bit so we got some new longer acting meds for her and the vet wants to do some X-rays next week. I hope she’s okay! She’s been really perky and playful outside of the cough but the cough keeps waking her up at night and we are all tired.

We saw Some Like it Hot tonight at the theatre and it was right at dinner time when we’d have to leave so I ended up having my eggplant leftovers early and then some leftover Chinese food in the afternoon. Matt had lunch at work and then came home early to have a chicken sandwich.

The play was fun (I was a little skeptical!) and I could see where it needed some tweaks but it was cute. The over the head mask was really comfortable. I saw some other maskers too!

Day 1883: Take out

I went to Costco and got some odds and ends. It will be a busy couple days so I wanted to get a chicken for lunches. I ran into my neighbor which was funny because we don’t live near Costco. They had new(?) southwest wraps so we had that for lunch.

I saw a barge on the river which was fun and rare.

For dinner I was hoping to get something to heat up from Costco but they didn’t have anything that worked so we got Chinese food near home instead.

Day 1880: Eggplant Parm

Goldbelly had a big seafood sale and we ordered a box with three Cajun meals for 40% off to be delivered today. When I woke up it said there was a mechanical failure in KY and it would be delayed but somehow it was still here at 10 am! Magic! I was expecting to have to open a box of rotten seafood on Monday. None of it was defrosted so I put two in the fridge for this weekend and froze the third.

For lunch we had shrimp salad from the meal prep place and leftover pesto pasta.

I spent most of the day in the yard reading my book and listening to birds. Mitzi stayed by my side all day but all three girls came out to play.

For dinner we tried a new-to-us Italian place and it was good. The antipasto was tasty and the eggplant parm was solid.

Day 1878: Scallops

For lunch we had Italian sandwiches because we needed things at the Italian store.

They forgot the olive spread on mine! It was still good but my mouth was set for that olive spread. Sometimes we have some here because they sell it in a tub but not today. It really completes the sandwich.

For dinner I made scallops with some pasta and this frozen pesto I had brought at Lidl ages ago. It wasn’t bad! I’m trying to actually use things from the freezer. Lots of pasta left.

Matt had a dentist appointment (they masked!) and later picked up some prepared meals for tomorrow. He got one with salmon and sesame noodles and I remember not liking one of the noodles but I don’t remember it having sesame. If it’s gross, we could have leftover pasta. He meant to grab a salmon and rice dish but somehow didn’t? The place is set up a little odd with similar things stacked near each other and it’s easy to grab the wrong one when you are focused on the dates. The dishes get covered up by the labels.

I finished the Sophie hood I started ages ago! I have a lot of yarn left, I’m not sure why I ordered so much.

Day 1874: Chana Masala

It was awful weather so we stayed home which was super disappointing. I really was looking forward to it. It was the perfect set up of yarn festival and then going to the weird museum that is only open 2-5. Plus the Filipino bakery.

We ended up getting a burger for lunch (and Matt had fries) and then Indian food for dinner because I didn’t plan any meals since we were supposed to be out all day. At least we have leftovers?

Day 1873: Steak

Pretty day today but I’m worried about tomorrow’s weather. I’ve had a day trip to a fiber festival and museum planned for months but now it looks like it might be rainy. I’m tired of everything being so weather dependent. It’s too far away to just chance it.

For lunch I had popcorn and Matt had his leftover chicken parm—he had less leftover than I did.

Then for dinner he made steak, corn muffins and broccolini.

Day 1872: Chicken Parm

For lunch I had some soup and we spilt the leftover shrimp salad.

Decided to make dinner tomorrow since Matt had to work late so had some take out from the fancier Italian place. Our usual place has been taken over by other owners and we haven’t gotten up the nerve to try it yet.

I have so much leftover! I have to remember to eat it.

Day 1871: Crab Cake

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!
