4 "To" Go meals of roasted chicken in addition to 4 Bean soup meals
All of the yuck stuff is in the pot for chicken broth/stock I need later in the week
This looks sorta nasty, however its really good. Macaroni salad to use as a side for lunches this week. I am sorta surprised that this is the first pasta I have done all month. I really thought I would have to base a whole lot of meals around pasta to make the budget stretch. More pasta is on the way for later in the week!
I got in some sewing time this AM while hubby was in the office. I hope these simple nine batch blocks will help tone down some of the busy fabric I am putting in hubby's "Bama" quilt.
Can you hear that? It's hubby in his chair sawing logs, the other background noise is AJ the beagle who is under my quilt joining in the chorus of snoring, oh ya and the dryer doing it's thing on the last load of wash. Ahh the sweet sounds of home.
I got a few meals put back for hubby and I for later in the month done today, beef roast is ready and waiting for dinner time then it too will be headed to the "To Go" meals collection in the freezer. I figure if I do 2 meals a day I will have enough put back to send hubby on his way with a cooler full of home cooking. Maybe even a little baking will be on the list for tomorrow while he is at the office. Baking goes so much quicker if I am alone and get my rhythm going! Ha.
Do you ever have days where you feel unsettled? Today is one of those days for me, everything seems to be off just a little. Tomorrow is a new day! Ha
Love those 9 squares!! I got some sewing done today as well.. it was a productive day here after a not so productive weekend, this makes me happy! ;) lol!
ReplyDeleteGo you!! I sew need to get that quilt started and soon but I can't do much on it when hubby is around
DeleteI find anything goes much faster when m alone in the house too.
ReplyDeleteI know right
DeleteYes I really do not care to much for that unsettled feeling, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Can't wait to see what goodies you will be baking up a storm about with tomorrow. Holy snoring house I get that between hubby and Bandit too. Thanks for saying as you knew I would feel better in my kitchen and the spaghetti sauce helped me focus on better things. xx
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Cindy, Mean people are just mean, can't do anything about them so move on to something you love
DeleteI love macaroni salad :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt squares look great Debby. And LOL on the snoring, I get that between my hubby and the two pugs.
Dogs and Men, gotta love them both!! Ha
DeleteOh that unsettled feeling; I don't enjoy it one bit. I felt it last week from the time I heard the snow storm was on it's way until Sat when the clean up was happening. Beautiful quilt squares. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Connie, hope you guys at least still had power during and after the storm!
DeleteHope this finds you back on an even keel! I love the colours of your "manly" quilty - hubby's gonna love it too!
ReplyDeleteI think it's called a "Monday" feeling :) I hope the rest of the week will be better for you.
ReplyDeleteit's always good to have extra meals stored in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks remind me of racing cars for some reason?
