everyday eating during "unprecedented" times
We had meatloaf sandwiches for lunch.
For dinner Matt made this baked pasta with tomato sauce, ricotta, olive and artichoke hearts.
It was ugly because he stirred the ricotta in instead of doing dollops but it was pretty good!
There was a bird flu death. I can’t help but think about what might happen. Too bad Biden was worthless and now we have the madman taking office.
I did start knitting the Sophie Hood and it looks cute! My blanket yarn was supposed to arrive but was delayed by the snow.
We had chicken sandwiches and Doritos for lunch. I continue to like the new Costco bread.
For dinner we had Costco butter chicken and Matt steamed some broccoli for health and made some saffron rice to go with it. It’s sushi rice because we realized too late we were out of basmati.
I shopped for New Year’s Day. I was hoping for more but the store was really empty except for chicken but I couldn’t bring myself to buy it.
Matt went to work at the far away office for their holiday party in the afternoon. It was oddly warm so it worked out for being outside for lunch!
I made nachos with some leftovers for my lunch.
For dinner Matt picked up some Indo-Chinese food on his way home. Lamb chow mein and then some momos and chaat.
For lunch I had a turkey sandwich and some Thanksgiving chips and Matt had his leftover spaghetti.
I had my class. It’s the last one for a while due to the holidays. Only minor homework.
I had ordered some Milk Bar for Christmas so I had to wait for that to be delivered so I could freeze the cake. I was hoping it would come early but it didn’t arrive until early evening. It’s so dark and rainy out!
We ended up getting Thai food, the local place recently reopened and Matt worked late again.
Their appetizers are really pricey but good!
For lunch we had some Trader Joe’s instant noodles with leftover pork tossed in. They were okay but the sesame sauce was hard to get out of the packet and the instructions were on the seam. Sloppy!
For dinner we had leftover stuffing, potatoes, turkey and cranberry sauce. Cranberry sauce counts as a fruit, right?
I ran to the other house to defrost the turkey for this weekend. Somehow I always have so much to drop off!
We had some ground chicken and a pork loin there so I brought that back. Matt made the chicken into meatballs for a meal later this week because it was sell by today.
I came home and had some canned soup and Chex Mix. I was going to make some but Matt got some at Costco. It’s not bad! Matt had leftover chicken and rice.
For dinner we had Costco chicken tacos. I think they could use spice but are the most solid of their meal options.
Hard boiled some eggs. Maybe I will make deviled eggs? I wanted the carton so they had to go!
For lunch we had leftover rosemary bread as toast and scrambled eggs with the remainder of the beef added in.
Matt ran to Costco to get some ingredients for next weekend’s fake Christmas so picked up a chicken. We had that with leftover squash tart.
I picked up a magazine holder from Facebook Marketplace in the morning while Matt got us sushi for lunch.
We made rosemary bread in the bread machine.
For dinner had sandwiches with the leftover beef from Thanksgiving and salad.
We put the lights on the tree and some bulbs had bits of the liner of the light bag stuck on them. So bizarre! How does that happen? I ordered more but luckily we had a back up strand. It’s hard to find the LED lights that really look like the old fashioned ones.
Did some cleaning and organizing.
Back to home and I had my leftover chaat for lunch.
For dinner I had my leftover chili tofu and tossed it in with my leftover Peruvian green beans. Surprisingly it worked!
For lunch we had mi goreng with leftover pork and shredded cabbage/carrots.
For dinner I made cod with (canned) tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts and (shelf stable) gnocchi. Cod can be so bland but this was good!
