Dinners & the week ahead

I am quite excited about Monday as one of my favorite cousins and her husband who live on the East Coast are going to stop by for a visit as they head out on vacation. We haven’t seen each other since before the pandemic although we do stay in touch.

Wednesday is Pilates before the instructor goes back on vacation for 2 more weeks after the prior 4. Hopefully I will actually go to the library mystery book club too. 

Nothing else planned yet but we need to figure out what we are taking for nibbles before an early Easter dinner and finish buying the grandgirls Easter gifts. The dress I ordered should arrive and hopefully will be a winner plus lots of shoes/sandals arriving to try on. 

I'd also like to make more progress on deep cleaning the kitchen and finishing Outstanding Annoying Tasks plus do something fun.

Dinners last week

Tuna chef salad

Tofu veggie stir fry, brown jasmine rice

BBQ chicken, boiled small red potatoes, carrots

Large dinner salad, leftover soup from freezer

  2. Isn't it amazing how out of touch we fell with people because of the pandemic? And that we've stayed out of touch? So nice you will be face-to-face again. That looks like a tasty and frugal week of meals!

  3. Again, tofu veggie stir fry sounds so good to me! LOL I'm going to have to google how to work with tofu.

    1. We buy firm tofu at Trader Joe’s if that is any help. It is basically tasteless so sauce/seasoning is essential. You have to drain it for a while and if you don’t use the whole block it has to be stored covered by water in the frig with fresh water every day. I’m not the cook for stir fries so that is all I know.

  4. Sounds like a full week with a nice mix of fun, family, and productivity. Hope that dress works out and your cousin’s visit is full of good laughs and memories.
