Hi everyone! We made it through the first week back to reality, relatively unscathed. I think sleeping in a bit yesterday morning was desperately needed by all of us, including the dog.
We began our weekend a bunch of grocery/warehouse shopping - the usual chore to restock and get ready for the coming week, made extra people-y because of the impending snowstorm that began overnight Saturday/Sunday. Our neighbors spent Sat AM powering up their snowblowers (first snowfall of the winter) and it’s been making me anxious, so of course I did the same yesterday. The forecast switched back and forth from 3-5” to 5-8”; I walked the dog about an hour ago and it was closer to 3-4” but wet and heavy. Ugh.
Sun: DS wants brisket so he’ll make brisket, smashed potatoes, and green beans for dinner. I’m hoping he actually will follow through on this plan and not poop out early on.
Mon: veggie pastitsio - a recipe we haven’t had for a while with fennel, roasted peppers, and spinach.
Tues: turkey burgers, chips, crudite
Weds: manicotti - I found GF noodles so will give them a try! The box says to fill them with a piping bag, which is new to me.
Thursday: brisket round 2, school chorus concert in the evening
