Day 1892: Leftovers

RachelLeave a comment

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.

Day 1855: Salad

A plant I’ve had for almost five years put out a big leaf today!

We ordered new phones and Matt picked them up this morning and then made us waffles.

I managed to make a few more buttons to get ahead on the independent ones. She sent us a schedule but I’d be surprised if we actually stick to it or get through them in class.

Matt ran to Costco and we had chicken tossed with arugula, tomatoes, onion and the feta and olives leftover from Friday’s app platter. We also finished off the leftover app dips.

Day 1851: Steak

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.

Day 1780: Salmon Croquettes

RachelLeave a comment

Tried to start a bead weaving project but it went awry. I’m not sure if I have enough thread anymore and I have to start over.

For lunch I had leftover eggplant parm and garlic bread. Matt went into work and it was bitterly cold so he got the halal cart like 5 feet from his office.

Normally the highs for us in January are near 40° so highs in the teens is rough. Not as rough as they’ve had it in NOLA today though! I saw pictures of so much snow.

For dinner we were going to have the cod but Matt decided to make croquettes with the leftover salmon instead. It really isn’t a ton of cod so maybe we will have it for lunch tomorrow?

Also wild rice pilaf with mushrooms and spinach,

And cookies.

I can’t even put into words about the new presidency. My mom would have been so mad. She refused to even say his name the first time around.
