Actuals for April 4 week, cooking for 2 in MN. Where a few favorites got made & posted (with recipes) on WFD. And Saturday felt like a pre-pandemic day of separate errands / visits with friends / separate lunches out and having some not-in-common experiences to talk about over the evening meal. I’m even looking into booking an end-of-summer vacation, either solo or with my sister. Husband says he’s still not interested in travel with an organized tour. I’ve done most of the organizing for our vacations through the years, and want to try letting someone else handle the arrangements.
Mon: Roasted chicken thighs, (Schwans frozen) roasted veggies and potatoes, salad – spinach/tomato/h.b egg, croutons. Dessert – fresh strawberries w/ whipped cream. Strawberries “locally grown” in MN Bushel Boy greenhouses were very sweet and fresh.
Tues: Quick chicken soup using tortellini, (frozen) mixed veg and meat from leftover roasted thighs.
Naan. Dessert - last of last week’s Texas chocolate sheet cake
