| Our mini-pie for Pi day. Isn’t the pi decoration a nice touch? |
Did anyone else feel discombobulated all week from the change to Daylight Savings time? All of us including the dog certainly did.
We have this coming Wednesday and Thursday blocked for the attic insulation and air sealing but are hoping it doesn’t take the full two days as we will have to monitor the dog all the time they are here. He copes well but the coming and going of the workers means we have to make sure he is staying in the house. I may have to take him to our son's for a while and hang out quietly while they work.
Other than that, I have the library mystery book club and a haircut on my calendar. I’ve made good progress on clearing the desk and dining table of aging paperwork and hope to finish it all this week.
I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s day but it was my grandfather’s birthday and I have such fond memories of him so that makes it a special day to me. As to the first day of Spring, I can feel it in the air and have seen a few daffodils and tulips blooming along with lots of flowering trees and shrubs. Lots of birds calling and the crows making a ruckus as they proclaim their territory. However we have had 2 hailstorms!
Hoping to continue to enjoy our yard and longer walks if we have good weather.
What we ate for dinner last week - it was an especially simple and easy dinner prep week
Monday - Tuna chef salad with cornbread from freezer
Tuesday - Black bean tostadas, roasted butternut squash
Wednesday - Trader Joe’s frozen dumplings, broccoli
Thursday - Sautéed small potatoes, green pepper, onion and sausage with leftover butternut squash and broccoli
Friday - Trader Joe’s roasted vegetable pizza, pie for Pi day
Saturday - Ground turkey pasta skillet, coleslaw (new turkey recipe; easier than chili but too bland)
Sunday - Round turkey & macaroni skillet, coleslaw
All of your meals sound good, and I bet the salted caramel on that pie was YUM.
ReplyDeleteIt was very yummy and rich. We got 4 servings out of it.
DeleteWhat lovely decoration on the pie. Your meals look wonderful and I think taking the dog away for a bit while the workers are there, an excellent idea.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thanks. I may need to get away more than he does! He coped with a lot of banging noise from work we had done I the fall but I was grinding my teeth.
DeleteTuesday sounds delicious. I never got around to baking a pie and wish I had. Or even bought one....
ReplyDeleteI was glad we bought a small one.
