We had to miss our son-in-law’s birthday dinner this past Saturday because David developed cellulitis in his foot. Hopefully we can take them out to dinner Thursday.

We will be attending a crawfish boil fundraiser for the local homeless services organization I volunteer with.

If you’d like to try my lentil tacos, here is the link:
Sorry to hear about David. I hope that’s the end of his issues for a while.
Here’s my menu:
Monday: pasta with tomato sauce and cheese.
Tuesday & Wednesday: leek and potato pie with green beans.
Thursday & Friday: spinach and mushroom risotto.
Saturday: I’m not sure, but it will be something simple – probably involving fries – because I have roleplaying.
Sunday: it’s our wedding anniversary, and we usually have take-away on special days like birthdays and anniversaries. We haven’t decided what we’ll order though… Depends what we fancy on the day.
Happy anniversary! How many years?
Thanks! 🙂
This will be our thirteenth wedding anniversary.
Here are the main meals for my menu this week. It’s not a full week because I eat the same thing for 2 or 3 days, but I’m easy to please!
Woolton pie (a recipe I discovered and love from my WWII rationing days. Lasts several days)
Lentil soup (made a big pot — will last several days)
BBQ chicken and cauliflower cheese
Chicken sauted in sparkling apple juice, sauted kale, pickled red cabbage.
Woolton pie? That sounds interesting. I will have to look for a recipe. Or if you’d like to share yours that would be great!
Woolton pie is so yummy! It is essentially cooked root vegetables (potatoes, turnips, carrots, onions, parsnips, celery, and the like) with a little oatmeal added for thickening. Put in the bottom of a pie dish and cover with a pie crust. Bake for about 30 minutes at 350, until the crust is brown. Serve with brown gravy. A very comforting dish. Here is my favorite version of the recipe. (Note — I am incapable of making pie crust. INCAPABLE! So I use bought ones and save myself the aggravation.) https://the1940sexperiment.com/2012/08/20/lord-woolton-pie-version-2/
