WIS, WWA | a friend-ful week
What I Spent
Hello there! We're starting out with a picture of Chiquita just because she's cute. And also because she is always right where I am. 😉
This week, I spent:
- $2 at Weis (I just needed some ibuprofen!)
- $73 at Aldi
Sooo, $75 for me.
What We Ate
Saturday
Leftover Zuppa Toscana. I like this soup because it is a meal in one; meat, veggies, and carbs!
Sunday
Zoe was out with some friends at a skate park and she ate with them. I made some crab cakes, which I ate with sauteed asparagus and also some watermelon.
Monday
I went to visit my friend Polly for dinner at her house. I met Polly back in the early 2000s on a parenting message board, and we met in person two times back around 2010.
But I hadn't seen her since then! We had a fun time catching up on life.
Polly loves to cook, and she made Texas beef brisket, Mexican street corn, orange crush mocktails, and peach cobbler for dessert.
Also, you should know that she has a super cute cat that she fostered and then adopted. Her name's Sophie, and she has only half a tail. I took a picture of her because I knew my girls would want to see her; they love all cats everywhere. 😉
And Sonia has a particular affinity for any cats with a disability or difference, such as half a tail. 🙂
Tuesday
I had gotten some free bacon cheddar burgers from a local grocery store (they sent out some promotional coupons, which of course I redeemed!)
I grilled Zoe's burger pretty late at night since had a work shift until 9:00, and I discovered that my grill is a little far away from the light by the carport door.
I had to use my phone flashlight to check if the burger was done!
Wednesday
I cooked the flank steak from my freezer challenge and we made tacos with it.
I'll give ya some more details about the flank steak in my freezer report next week.
Thursday
I used the leftover flank steak to make a kind-of taco salad, with lettuce, tomatoes, chipotle sauce, steak, and cilantro.
Friday
Soooo, my friend Carrie is coming to see me for the weekend!
We've known each other online for many, many years but this will be our first time meeting up in person. We are gonna have so much fun!
I have some meal ideas, but I'm gonna put my head together with her when she gets here to figure out what she'd like to do in what order. 🙂
What did you have for dinner this week?
P.S. When I was looking for the post about my $9.97 Old Navy dress, I came across this post from 2008, where I got an Old Navy dress for $0.97!
Good on your friend and your girls for appreciating imperfect (though of course they’re all perfect 😉 ) cats. We’re in our current three cat predicament because my soul kitty was such a cat: the bow-legged, cross-eyed kitten with a ratty coat that was so fugly, I was afraid no one would adopt him, so I did. His legs and eyes straightened as he grew, his ratty coat turned Siamese, and he was my beautiful silly boy for fourteen years. When he passed away and the quiet house was too much, we went to the shelter looking for the “Soul Kitty Memorial Cat”—that is, one that had likewise been overlooked through no fault of its own. There was a scarred up former street cat with a bad eye who had been at the no-kill shelter for two years, with two kennel brothers who had been there just as long. One was gorgeous but “mean”—the intense street noise outside and constant strangers made him irritable—and the other was withdrawn because his previous owner had died—he clung to the street cat for comfort. Yeah, we’re suckers, but they are all AMAZING cats, and the scarred former street cat is the silliest and sweetest of the bunch.
TL;DR Good pets are good pets no matter what. 🙂
Um, oh, yeah, food! :P. This week, we’ve been enjoying vegetables from our garden and from our generous neighbors. My beefsteak tomato plant is fit to fall over, it has so much fruit, and it’s finally starting to turn red. I’ve been gathering my tomato recipes so I can process apace, as they’re all going to ripen at once!
@N, Would you please adopt me?
@N, "One was gorgeous but “mean”—the intense street noise outside and constant strangers made him irritable—"
I feel ya, bro.
@JDinNM, I’m afraid we’re full up! 🙂
@N, another sucker here. We had 6 cats, which was quite enough, but then I trapped a feral mama and her 3 babies. All intentions of adopting them out, but they loved each other so much...
I remember when I first started reading your blog, I also read a blog called new dress a day. Marisa gave herself a challenge to spend only one dollar per "dress" (she got mostly muumuus from thrift stores) and then modify them into something wearable. She had some pretty amazing transformations. This was back when everyone was doing 365 projects. Speaking of which, I miss your photo blog. That was one of my favorite parts of your blog. That and the stuffies in the grocery hauls. Anyway, on to food.
WIS: 29.14 @Little Cesar's (husband and teen indulged on their way home from vacation)
WWA:
Fri: I did not end up grilling because it did rain. Instead we had chicken nuggets, Mac and cheese, broccoli stir fry veggies (just one of those frozen bags that has carrots, green beans and water chestnuts in it), corn bread, watermelon, and salad (cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber).
Sat: This was grilling day! We had hamburgers, hotdogs, and bacon wrapped steaks, brioche buns, grilled asparagus, brussel sprouts and colored pepper rings (the asparagus and brussel sprouts were from frozen bags. I just microwaved them for a minute or two before putting them on the grill in a grill basket and they turned out great!), sliced tomato and sliced red onion. Choice of provolone, chipotle cheddar or habanero jack sliced cheese, ketchup, mustard and mayo for burgs. We also had s'mores for dessert, and when we ran out of graham crackers we used ginger snaps instead. I think I actually prefer the stronger flavor. Will definitely use them again, especially because my local health food store is often out of graham crackers, but they always have ginger snaps in stock. I don't buy most of the cookie/cracker options at Aldi because they tend to have preservatives and/or artificial flavors in them. Also, we don't eat a lot of snack foods in the first place, but vacation is treat town. 😉
Sun: beef and bean burritos, leftover steak, corn and spinach mixture (two frozen bags), diced avocado, diced tomato, diced red onion, salsa, salsa con queso, assorted corn and tortilla chips.
Mon: beef lasagna (frozen package), spaghetti, tomato sauce with veggie meat balls (they were out of the meat kind at Aldi) which I doctored up with sauteed red onions, red peppers, garlic scapes, red wine and pork drippings from an earlier pork sausage breakfast, green beans (just a frozen bag), shredded Parmesan.
Tue: this was our last vacation dinner and it was just me, my mom and my two boys, so we ate a random assortment of leftovers: brussel sprouts, green beans, hamburgers, spaghetti and meatball sauce, beef and bean burritos, chili, fish sticks, fries, etc. The only leftovers I brought home was a container of plain spaghetti and about a dozen french fries, plus a salsa jar that I dumped a bunch of raw/cooked veggies into.
Wed: our first night back at home and I used about two tablespoons of leftover butter/bacon grease from the trip to stir fry shredded cabbage and carrots. I added the french fries diced up, a can of pink beans, and the leftover spaghetti noodles. I seasoned it with garlic powder, onion powder, ginger, diced garlic, basil paste, lime juice and Sriracha sauce, and we ate it with chop sticks. It turned out pretty good, but my youngest finally succumbed to the overwhelming nature of vacation food (too much meat, fat, carbs, etc and not nearly enough salad!) and vomited instead of eating dinner. Poor baby. Ever since he had long COVID, he can't handle excessively heavy meals. He used to not be able to eat even one dinner with something heavy. Now, it seems he only gets sick if he has a lot of heavy food for days on end. Lucky for him our normal diet is not nearly so indulgent.
Thu: take two on the stir fry bowl, and we had chips and salsa on the side. We ate the leftover salsa from our trip which also had the cooked corn and spinach mixed in along with some extra diced onion and tomato. The chips were the leftovers from four different bags. We also had some salsa con queso and some sour cream.
Tonight: Dare I hope for focaccia? And possibly some carrot sticks on the side. I'm trying to hold off grocery shopping until tomorrow.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
@Becca, oh wow I remember that “dress a day blog” —thanks for the memory jogger!
Hooray for friend time!! And a bacon cheddar burger sounds totally delicious.
This week...
Saturday: Leftovers - all day! We had breakfast leftovers in the morning, then leftovers at lunch and leftovers at dinner. My husband was gone all day (a meeting in the morning and putting on a big event at work for the rest of the day) so leftovers for me and the 3 kids was pretty easy.
Sunday: Ham, corn on the cob, zucchini, and cantaloupe
Monday: Grilled cheese and tomato soup. Not my original plan, but we did an afternoon zoo trip and needed something quick when we got home at 5:30.
Tuesday: This is when we had Monday's Plan A - Cheesy scalloped potatoes with ham and a side of asparagus
Wednesday: Date night! We had a coupon and a gift card for Red Lobster and went there. It's been years since I've been! It was delicious, but I was surprised at how much prices have increased. I don't eat out much.
Thursday: Our life group hosted a missionary family that we keep in touch with and we did a big potluck. I contributed burger patties and two veggie trays. It was so much fun! There were 28 of us between the 6 families, so there was a lot of food.
Friday: We have a little bit of ham left that needs used as well as some asparagus. We'll probably have that with some zucchini and maybe some potatoes. We have plenty of both.
And while this is not dinner, I'm eating tomato sandwiches almost everyday for lunch and it makes me very happy! Hooray for August and fresh tomatoes!
@Ruth T, a tomato sandwich is one of the good things in this life!
I'm glad you've been having such good visits with friends, Kristen! (I'm looking forward to JASNA BFF's annual visit here in 2 weeks.) And my Betty, who has similar coloration, sends her regards to the lovely Sophie.
Now, WIS: $68 at Wegmans, $4 at the bakery outlet, and $18 at the grocery outlet. The Wegmans tab included some good Reduced for Quick Sale scores: two whole kosher chickens, two packages of lamb shanks, and a package of Gianelli turkey sausages (kristin @ going country, take note).
WIA: I froze the chickens and the lamb shanks, but I cooked the turkey sausages immediately and had "Gianelli in my belly" for several days, in various forms (a couple eaten on buns, a couple cut up into the ratatouille and pasta I made, etc.).
@A. Marie, I'm hoarding the four packages I have left. After those are gone (which is only two meals in my house), Gianelli will be but a memory. 🙁
Your week sounds like a lot of fun! It hasn't been all that fun here, but I know that will come around again. And in the meantime we ate well this week:
Monday - kitchen closed but I think I had P. Terry's and I am officially over burgers
Tuesday - Crockpot Pulled Pork on buns, pickles and onions, whatever chips I have, cantaloupe (this was delicious!, and I have lots leftover)
Wednesday - Meatballs and Ziti, zucchini (a touch of honey in the marinara made this so good)
Thursday - Grilled Chicken Quesadillas with onions and peppers, broccoli
Friday - BBQ Lime Shrimp, rice, probably salad
Saturday and Sunday - kitchen closed (but I got a focaccia pizza and some HEB deli soup to split for both days' lunches, and will have cereal for dinner)
Happy Friend-ful Friday!

What a cute kitty! Three of our cats started off as fosters for us. I'm glad to know we're not the only ones who end up keeping foster cats. 🙂
Saturday: Last day of the county fair, which is always exciting and exhausting. We didn't get home until just after six, so a quick dinner was necessary. I fried some bacon and chopped some of that to add to leftover plain spaghetti, frozen peas, butter, garlic powder, and Parmesan for the kids. They also had a fried egg with it. I had bacon and eggs with leftover sauteed zucchini. My husband had corn tortillas with bacon, cheese, and beans.
Sunday: Oven fried chicken, mashed potatoes, frozen corn, s'mores
Monday: I poached the extra chicken pieces the day before and used them to make a chicken and rice casserole, because I had all-day training at school and wanted something I could just heat and serve. I put frozen peas in it so I could count a vegetable in there, although I suspect each serving only contained about a dozen peas. Oh well. Not every day can be a nutrition powerhouse.
Tuesday: Lamb chops, roasted potatoes, green salad with vinaigrette, chocolate chip cookie bars in which I accidentally left out half the sugar. Whoops. They were sweet enough, but crumbly. Still eaten without complaint. Chocolate chips make up for a lot.
Wednesday: Sloppy joe sandwiches made with ground sheep and Dinosaur BBQ sauce (yay!), green salad with vinaigrette
Thursday: Chunks of pork cut from a sirloin roast and fried in butter with garlic powder and paprika, black-eyed peas from the huge batch I made awhile ago and froze, rice, cucumbers
Tonight: Well, I have the rest of that pork sirloin roast simmering in a pot. My husband forgot about half a beer in the freezer, so I used that for the cooking liquid and also added salt and a bit of maple syrup. This may turn out to be disgusting, but if it is, I can just camouflage it with chile powder and cumin. 🙂 In which case, we will have tacos.
198 at Sam’s club. 42 at ALDI. We were truly in need of a stock up.
Monday:grilled chicken and sauté veggies with peanut ginger sauce
Tuesday: brown rice salad lots of garden tomatoes fresh chopped herbs feta lemon juice and olive oil
Wednesday: pizza and Greek salad
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: cheese ravioli with diced ham and peas ( last of the Easter ham from the freezer). Cottage cheese for our side.
Hubby and I both had major dental work yesterday. I am planning smoothies and soft foods for the next few days.
We didn't have to do a lot of cooking this week.
Sunday: We were at my aunt's and had middle-eastern takeout.
Monday: My brother and SIL's wedding!
Tuesday: I was out for a wedding-related celebration and had salad, salmon, and cheesecake! Lucky me.
Wednesday: I made chicken soup with noodles, matzah balls, chicken, and veggies. Labour-intensive, but used some ingredients we had lying around, and I'll freeze the leftover broth tonight.
Thursday: I was out at a work event and got a very nice meal of salmon, pasta, and salad; Mr. B made scrambled eggs and oven fries for him and the tot.
Friday: Mr. B is making meat of some variety. I told him NO SALMON haha, since I also had salmon on Saturday. Too much of a good thing!
Help!! I bought a bag of frozen potstickers/Chinese Dumplings and they came without the dipping sauce!! I have no idea how to make it and I can find it in store? Can anyone help with a recipe or recommendation of a store bought item? Thanks!!
@Jennifer, this one is delicious!
https://goodcheapeats.com/potstickers-with-dipping-sauce/
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. My last confession was ...
WIS: Too much. Plus $20 on an impulse purchase of cut flowers I didn't really need. WIA: Too much. Plus a chocolate chip cookie I REALLY didn't need.
@JDinNM, Thanks for the LOL!
@JDinNM, flowers can be just what you need. I don't get them very often but I enjoy them for days and it warms my heart. BTW, I get carnations. My favorite and they last forever.
I was quite proud of myself, making my menu in record time before grocery shopping two weeks ago. Wow! Really knocked that out! It was several days later that I remembered that I would have three days of low-fiber foods only, and one and a half days of clear liquids in the middle of that two week period. So....
WIS - nothing basically, it was my off week for shopping.
WIA (when I ate) -
A goat roast, which I ate three times with sides of collards, okra, squash and applesauce, not all at once. Also, this was lunch once or twice.
Tuna salad with the usual shredded veggies plus raisins. Fresh cherries on the side. This also made a couple of lunches.
I had cheese sandwich on GF white bread, cooked carrots, eggs, and whatever other recommended foods I could find in the house for three days, then had homemade bone broth, white grape juice, kombucha, herbal tea, water and Zevia soft drinks (which are all clear) for my clear liquid period. It wasn't exciting, but I got it done.
WIS: $227 @ Costco
WWA:
Sat: we enjoyed a day at the pool and ate a chili dog supper with my sister & brother in law
Sun: Homemade cheeseburgers on whole wheat buns with caramelized onions and bbq sauce, home fries, fruit
Mon: Beef stew, jasmine rice, sliced tomatoes, and peas
Tues: Pulled pork in the crockpot turned into BBQ sandwiches, baked beans, and fruit salad
Wed: Leftovers
Thurs: Leftovers
Fri: Using the remaining pulled pork and cooking up a whole chicken to make a pot of Brunswick stew - we will have this for dinner tonight and then I will freeze the remainder for easy lunch/dinner in the fall season
Happy weekend to all!
We got Covid for the second time this week (first time was last summer so I guess it’s our summer tradition now) So far it hasn’t been as bad for me this time around, although still pretty unpleasant. The kids got their booster a couple weeks ago so they seem fine and husband is still testing negative (he’s been masking around us and we’ve left windows open, not sure if that’ll work or he’s just delaying the inevitable) As a result, we did have a lot of convenience foods and one takeout this week.
Saturday - I was at my cousins wedding (which is where I got Covid) so I at least had delicious wedding food and desserts. It was a no kids wedding so kids were with my mother-in-law. My husband was at a different wedding 4 hours away, it was a crazy weekend!
Sunday - this was my birthday, I already knew I’d been exposed to Covid and would likely get it, so I did not do much birthday celebrating. I have decided to reschedule my birthday for another date though 🙂 My parents got takeout breakfast for us before we left their house and I used the remains of a door dash gift card to order Greek food just for me for dinner, since no one else here likes it. My mom had also given me a box of chocolates so I had one of those for dessert.
Monday - no symptoms yet so I tried to get as much done as I could. I made a big baked ziti for dinner that made lots of leftovers.
Tuesday - symptoms started and I got he positive test this day, still felt mostly ok though so made a balsamic chicken skillet with pearl couscous and steamed carrots and broccoli
Wednesday - felt worse on this day, we had a lot of convenience foods we could have eaten but my husband saw my incapacity as a chance to get takeout 🙂 I requested something spicy to try to clear my sinuses, he ordered Thai food so I had a spicy curry, everyone else had noodle and rice type dishes
Thursday - still feeling pretty bad this day, we had a frozen pizza for dinner
Friday - woke up feeling a little better, will probably still rely on convenience food for dinner, we have some canned soup or some ravioli with jarred sauce
Your friend Carrie's hair is gorgeous! Hope you have a great time with your meetup.
I had a colonoscopy this week (adulting is often very glamorous), so we once again had a variety of odd meals, as I was fasting for two of the days. We also had the kids for about 1/2 of the week (back from my parents) & we were out of town over the weekend. So, long story short, it was a very odd week for us!
-Two dinners out over the weekend. French food (roasted chicken was incredible + beet salad) & one night was at a steak house (incredibly perfect steak + scalloped potatoes + cheesecake).
-One night, we skipped dinner, as we got back from the airport late.
-My husband ate two dinners from the freezer, when I was fasting. One night it was chicken shawarma, the other was lettuce wraps. With both, he had a big salad + a bowl of tomatoes from the garden.
-I made orange chicken (from Trader Joes), on the day I could finally eat again. Yay for the end to fasting!
-My husband was going to grill tonight, but it looks like the teens are going to be out at a Magic the Gathering event (they've finally found one near us, post COVID), so we will likely do something with freezer food: gyozos & wings, most likely.
With our strange schedules, there's been a lot of eating out of the freezer, which has made a large dent in the freezer inventory. That said, I'm looking forward to some actual meals at some point! Prepped from fresh food. 🙂
@Hawaii Planner,
We had the same week, I see! Yes, adulting is very, very glamorous!
@Hawaii Planner, why thank you! I stopped coloring the silver a few years ago and wish I’d done it ages earlier!
@JD and Hawaii Planner,
Me, three! The tablets are an improvement over the liquid but still.
Aldi - $60, Target - $80 (includes some school supplies)
Friday: unplanned Date Night. The weather looked rainy over the weekend so my husband wanted to sneak in dinner on a patio. We shared a variety of apps and a couple of drinks.
Saturday: Swordfish, Tomato Butter Pasta, Roasted Brussels
Sunday: Dude Night (the boys had steaks, elotes, and my son learned how to make mashed potatoes). I met friends at Restoration Hardware’s restaurant. We shared burrata as an app, all had salads, and shared chocolate chip cookies and ice cream for dessert.
Monday: Bubble and Squeak, bacon, fried eggs, Caesar salad. I tried to find a new way to use the Napa cabbage from our CSA and the leftover mashed potatoes from Dude Night made Bubble and Squeak a fun new adventure for us.
Tuesday: Salmon Stir Fry over brown rice
Wednesday: Unstuffed cabbage rolls (this used the rest of the Napa cabbage)
Thursday: leftover night
I also made banana zucchini muffins so rescue bananas and zucchini (I used homemade applesauce in place oil because I didn’t have enough vegetable oil AND the apple sauce needed to be used up too).
It's been a weird week here, too. My colitis is acting up, as is my gouty toe, so I'll have had for three days now is cherry juice and water. Daughter was in the city for several nights seeing a hip-hop show and ate whatever. So basically it was my son picking at a large roast chicken all week.
My theme of the week is ‘when plans go astray’. We were supposed to be camping this week but forest fire smoke and thunderstorms said “na aa”. I really wanted to get away so we ended up in a little spa town about a 2 hour drive away, so more $ than intended to spend but lemonade nonetheless. WWA:
Saturday - beef stir fry using crisper and frozen veggies, rice, ice cream bars
Sunday - chicken curry, rice, papadams, naan
Monday - lemon pepper chicken and veggies in a foil packet cooked in the oven instead of on a campfire (the other camping meals can stay frozen but this had fresh veggies to be used tout de suite)
Tuesday - subway sandwiches in the hotel room
Wednesday - splurge dinner at a restaurant, I had a ribeye steak, veggies and a glass of wine
Thursday - light dinner of chicken tenders and a salad followed by a wonderful bread pudding served with local berries and a couple of sweet sauces
Friday - will be home today. I picked up a lousy summer cold so the leftover frozen curry will work perfectly (thinking about adding extra hot sauce to help clear passages)
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend
WIS: $61, which included $6 for paper towels.
WWA: Spaghetti with Italian sausage in the marinara. When we had more noodles than sauce, I turned some homegrown tomatoes into a gorgeous fresh sauce to finish off the pasta. Chili with double the tomatoes and hot peppers, which is how DH likes it, also a sneaky way to get more veggies into him. Cottage cheese with cherry tomatoes, slivered carrots and Arizona Dreaming seasoning. Rye crackers with natural peanut butter, radishes, nectarines, nuts, fresh cherries and berries. One night I made baked mixed berry oatmeal and it smelled so good we ate a serving for supper.
As you can see above, the tomatoes in the container garden are producing like whoa! They are loving the unusual daily rainstorms we are getting this August.
Weird dinner week for sure...
Saturday: Ended up taking an unexpected long drive and had a very junk foody taco bell stop (worse than what I normally order).
Sunday: I think I made taquitos
Monday: Mom had surgery so I got home late and ate some frozen indian food
Tuesday: Left over salad from a work lunch for me, picked up take-out for everyone else
Wednesday: Ramen bowls, white nectarines and apples
Thursday: Rice and dahl for half of us, french toast for the rest. Plus a delicious mango
Tonight: Younger daughter has a taekwondo belt test so we let her pick a place to celebrate. We'll see what she decides.
I spend around 20-25 a week shopping at amazing little grocery store. Some of this weeks deals local organic 2 lbs carrots 99 cents. Thick cut bacon 2 bucks. The most beautiful dark green watermelon for 3 bucks. It was so heavy I had to take the elevator instead of the stairs. When I cut it open it was red ew like blood but vegan and delicious. Local tomatoes 1.29 lb, local blueberries 1.99 pint too much food
Sunday - roast chicken dinner.
Monday - leftover chicken with fries
Tuesday - slow cooker chilli
Wednesday - my birthday so we went out for my favourite Thai food.
Thursday - baked cod with red cabbage slaw
Friday - bbq chicken and salads
Dh and daughter had pork chops this week with mac n cheese. I had egg bites. We went to move daughter into her new apartment which we thought would be an overnight trip but turned into a 3 day trip. We ate:
Firehouse subs - oh gross! My turkey and bacon sub was submerged in mayo. So gross and messy!
TGIFridays - meh but needed for the two diabetics who had to eat. I had the potstickers which I love and I only ate 3 before my tummy said full. Dd had a whiskey burger and two beers (not good for a type 1 diabetic) and dh had something(?) and two beers. I had water.
We went to a brewery bar downtown on Wednesday night. The street was blocked off and there were 3 pickleball courts outlined on the cobblestone street. People were playing pickleball. I loved to hear the "thwack" of the ball being hit by the paddle. How much tension must be released by doing that! The brewery bar we went to was so good!!
Dh had a manhattan and wouldn't give me the cherry. Then he had a beer and dd had two beers. Dh had crab cakes, dd had shepard's pie and I had the best meal. A grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato and crab salad which was like tuna salad but a million more times better and not drowning in mayo. I could only eat half the sandwich so dh and dd ate the other half and declared that sandwich the winner of the night. Soo good!
Spent lots 'o money but that last dinner was worth it. We don't go out to each very often.
I am so impressed that you cook real meals even on the nights that you are alone. When I am alone for the evening dinner is usually a family-size bag of potato chips...
@SK, Hey! Potatoes = Vegetables.
Nothing constructive to add, just noting that Carrie's hair is FABULOUS!!
@Michelle D., Compliments are always constructive.
Kristen, your .97 dress looks lovely!
Our dinners:
Sunday- chicken quesadillas
Monday- BLT salad
Tuesday- potato/broccoli/bacon casserole
Wednesday- BL T salad
Thursday- leftover potato casserole for my daughter and me. My husband couldn’t eat because he had a tooth pulled and the area just wouldn’t stop bleeding even with gauze. After three hours, my husband called the dentist for advice on how to stop the bleeding. He was told to put a tea bag on the site. We’d never heard of this trick but it really did stop the bleeding in about 30 minutes.
Friday- tonight our daughter and I will have salad but my husband will have either soup or refried beans.
I’m not sure what our weekend meals will be.
Yay for friends & fun finds!
Mm, your flank steak leftovers look fantastic! I want some. Also, Shelly and Chiquita are such a funny pair! Aren't cats just the best!!
Your daughter is ok? She’s not on Maui?
Yes, she’s fine. She’s on Oahu, but of course we are so sad for all the people on Maui. So heartbreaking!
