mid March

 I wore sandals to work yesterday - with bare feet! Today it's back to the forties, but that's not bad. And we have the memory of two days sixty five to seventy degrees. 

Our Lenten meal plan has been interesting; after three weeks of meatloaf on Saturday, I made meatballs today, and spaghetti. That was a little better. As for the Monday eggs, I am getting sick of that. I often feel a little queasy after having eggs, so I'm trying to make them with more vegetables. But shopping is easier, since there's not any meal planning to speak of.

I keep meaning to say something about Sweetie, but there's a lot to say; she's still around, two months after the doctor said she would be. I'll have to come back to this subject. But she's not much worse, as far as we can tell.



I'm working on St. Patrick's Day, and don't want to cook the traditional dinner on a different day, so I'm planning on Reuben sandwiches.

  1. It feels like autumn has arrived here. I'm about to light the wood heater for the evening, and settle down with my knitting and reading. xx

  2. How lovely to have had a couple of warm days! It gives hope that spring and summer really are on their way.
    With all these lockdowns over the past year it has seemed like we have had a year of Lent with less choice of ingredients and foods in the shops every now and then. I am so bored with the meals we have been cooking and am struggling to find new ways of preparing food to make it more interesting. I had never heard of Reuben sandwiches so looked it up. Now that sounds interesting!

    1. It definitely give hope! I'm sorry to hear you're short of ingredients, Clare! Over here, we seem to be okay, mainly. Ammonia is the thing I can never find at the supermarket, but I recently discovered plenty of it at the dollar store. Reubens are a staple in any Jewish deli around here!
