(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 enjoyed a couple of nights of chicken noodle soup, once with chicken salad on the side. I do like soup, and this was extra good. Sometimes that just happens, even when you do everything the same as usual.
We also had eggs a couple of nights. To the point where we were down to 6 eggs. We are back up to 9 now, but I want to make muffins, so that will use a couple.
One of the best meals of the week, was when we had meat strips which I made a jus with. Then, rather than make tortillas, which can be a little time consuming once dinner time is upon you, I made flavored masa, and served the meat, with the au jus, over it. Extremely tasty.
A couple of nights we didn't really do anything for dinner, letting a late snack in the afternoon suffice. I wouldn't advise it often, but there have been issues with bedtime, gasoline, and food, so it was best on those days.
Now that Ds isn't going to be able to shop, he barely makes it 1/2 way across a room, we have been scrambling to plan meals with no vegetables to speak of, etc.
For vegetables, I only have a handful of carrots going south quickly, and will see if they can be saved today, plus a sweet potato each, and 3 onions.
We can have sweet potatoes for a lunch, or a side for dinner one night.
The onions can be used to put over the top of chili, which is my go-to dish when I want to cook something with no vegetables, and perhaps cooked as eggs and onions one night, which will leave me one onion to think about.
Chili's actually good, because it can be eaten several way. As chili spaghetti/pasta, as faux stovetop tamales, etc.
We'll make do. This is why we need a garden right now. I'm just glad that we've got a piece of meat left. Last night we had a browned meat and onion spaghetti with 1/2 an onion that I'd bagged after using the other 1/2 for something else. There's not a lot leftover, but enough to eat with elbows tonight for our dinner.
Oh, guess what I just saw? A summer, lemon, upside down cake. I'm just sorry that the lemons in the store are waxed. You heat butter and brown sugar, as you would for a pineapple upside down cake, then lay very, very thinly sliced lemons on it in a pattern, then pour over a lemon cake and bake. I *really* want to try that. All I need is to mug someone with a lemon tree!
How was your food week?
