Thinking of all of you in the places that are crazy cold. Hope you’re staying warm, safe, and cozy indoors. It’s plenty cold here by our standards, I can’t even imagine what it feels like there. LLD got home after midnight on Tuesday, so we had a couple nights of normal again before Lulu had to deal with another weekend debate tournament. The coming week will give us a few nights before a Science Olympiad weekend away for her. They are definitely weaning us from having her around all the time and preparing us for empty nesting. Here is what we ate:
Sun: capellini with raw tomato, capers, olives
Mon: Lulu and I tried a new Mexican place in town. Sad to say it was disappointing. They put a ton of money into the place, but the food was, let’s say, uninspiring.
Tues: we had planned on another dinner out, but a big storm blew in. Great pantry meal of NYT’s beans and greens alla vodka over pasta. I was so happy that I had a bag of baby spinach. This was delicious and very stick to your ribs on a stormy evening.
Wed: oops, welcomed LLD back with a bean, soyrizo, kale soup. He ate a lot if junk while he was away, so he wasn’t too grumpy about it. He also appreciated having something that wasn’t bland.
Thurs: chicken with black olive and anchovy butter from COTM, roast potatoes, salad
Fri: Lulu away, LLD made himself steak, I had the leftover beans and greens.
Sat: carry out
Sun: we’ll do more carry out.
Stay warm, and have a fun, delicious week!
