Day 484: Smoked Beet Salad

For dinner I made a salad with the beets we smoked over the weekend and we had come chicken from Dominicks. We had to deal with the cars so we were beat!

Day 482: Lamb & Pancakes

For brunch Matt made pancakes. So good! He real has perfected pancakes during all this.

I made made crumble bars.

For dinner we smoked some lamb on the grill that I had bought frozen last year! It got done way faster than expected, maybe because it was very hot so that threw our meal plans off a bit. We ended up eating it cold with some stuffed grapes leaves and a tomato salad I made with mozzarella pearls, parsley and cucumber.

Day 480: Giant Sandwiches!

We drove out to Sykesville near their little historic Main Street to pick up a inkle loom from FB Marketplace and caught the tail end of a tiny parade (advertised as having 30 people plus floats) and someone getting a novelty sized check for $25,000 for fixing up historic main streets.

Then we stopped in this sandwich shop in the parking lot of a gas station and brought home sandwiches. To our surprise they were massive and they must make their own marble rye and Cuban bread. Who knew, weird little place??

And the loom lady gave me a big box of yarn, supplies and books to go with the barely used loom! Not bad for $50!

Then we got soft crabs and made them with some leftover beet mashed potatoes.

I made a little plum dessert

We watched more Candace Renoir on Acorn

Day 477: Couscous with Sardines

For lunch I made couscous with sardines and veggies. It’s up on my Patreon for subscribers!

For dinner Matt had some sick food and I had some Chinese take out. I wasn’t planning on so many meals just for me! I was really low on food.

Watching Bosch.

Working on a new cookbook proposal.

Day 476: Smoked Salmon

Matt still doesn’t feel great so I picked up some sick food for him at the store. I had some smoked salmon we had from Costco for dinner and popcorn. For lunch I had some noodles and the half of burger that was leftover from yesterday.

Did some weaving.

Day 475: Chicken Burgers

We made chicken burgers for dinner but Matt didn’t feel great so who knows what we are going to eat later in the week.

Day 474: Eggplant Parm

Matt went to an Italian market near his parents’ house and brought back some goodies!

We had two kinds of “stuffed bread” (stromboli?) and some stuffed peppers and olives.

Then for dinner we had some eggplant parm and Matt made sauce and spaghetti to go with.

Lots of cleaning and watched some City on the Hill on our 99¢ Prime Day sub.

Day 473: Brunch!

Actually ate at a restaurant with a friend! I was invited to a PR lead brunch and got to try about some new sandwiches at Dashery.

They source things locally which was a big plus.

For dinner I had Taiwanese wide instant noodles with beet greens from the CSA and some frozen mixed seafood.

Matt came back from NYC with some goodies so we had a late night mozzarella and bread snack .

Day 472: Pancit Bihon

For lunch I picked up some fancy pancit bihon topped with lechon kawali. I dropped some books off at the little free library too! I haven’t made a drop off in ages!

I made a cake this morning too!

I am worried about the new Delta variant. I guess the WHO says vaccinated people need to stay masked? I have been 99.9% of the time anyway but eek!

For dinner I made a tuna salad with tomatoes and cucumbers and a hard boiled egg.

I watched On Becoming a God in Central Florida and warped my big loom.

Day 471: Fake Crab Salad

Matt is visiting his parents so I made fake crab salad with cucumber, kewpie mayo, ponzu and shichimi togarashi. He doesn’t love fake crab so I don’t make it often.

For dinner I had some frozen shrimp and steamed broccoli. Finished up a weaving!
