(This is the weekly post where you share your week of food. Did you have anything that really made your week, such as your favorite soup, a lunch out, or maybe you had something new? Find a new food product? A new appliance? Please do share!)
We had a decent week most days. Some days we just ate whatever was fast/easy, since Dh is finding the new meat tasty, but hard to break down; it's time consuming, and one night we were exhausted and we went to bed early, but we had the meat several days, too!
We had a couple of nights of spaghetti, and a stove-top, chili tamale. Very good!
I did almost no shopping this week. I got water, rice, onions, and celery. That was my week's shopping. We will make do. I've got meal plans that will, hopefully, get us through until next weekend.
I'm making my Mother's Day Meal simple...I want meat and grilled onions with tortillas. Basically, carne asada. I've got both a lemon and a lime, and will make the tortillas, so except for the time actually cooking the tortillas, it's a simple meal with few ingredients.
Ds's 1st anniversary falls the day after Mother's Day this year, so I walked him through the store yesterday, and we came up with a meal.
He's making her favorite...salmon, with a pilaf, asparagus, and mushrooms both for the pilaf, and for the salmon. For dessert he's making some of the ganache truffles. He was thinking something else, but with less ingredients available, and wanting to spend less, the truffles...2 ingredients to buy, made sense, and will be tasty.
Something interesting...
He bought 9 cans of beans a month ago, and just went to open one. But, it rattles....there's no liquid in them! (Except one, which doesn't even slosh or rattle...uh oh.)
So, he asked about bringing them back for a trade-in or refund, and they said that, for as long as corona is around, they will not accept food brought back, and further, will not refund. That he has to hold onto them, and bring them back when the problem has passed.
Which is odd, because it's not as if they put the food back on the shelf...they dispose of it. But, that's the rule, at least for Lucky/Safeway right now. Let's hope that the food which is bad for other people is not perishable, like chicken!
How was your food week?
