Pastitsio (for Holly and the boys)
I took the day off, with the idea that I’d make two of these, but as I needed to delivery it earlier then I would normally be able to finish it. My hours our flexible enough that I could have probably snuck out early, but I just took the day off. I got my hair cut, picked up some bread, Stopped by the Cheese Shop, then headed home to start making dinner. After making some adjustments for effectively doubling it, I used 2/3rd lamb and 1/3rd beef, then mostly followed along. Things came together well, considering.
While the plan was to hang out over there a bit, and catch up with Holly and the boys, the blizzard moved in with a bit of a vengeance, and while, we could’ve probably gotten away with hanging out, it didn’t really appear so at the time. I dropped the dinner off, said hello, said good bye and headed back through the blizzard and home.
Pork and Bacon burgers
New from Crooked Gap, took out, cooked ate.
Green onion Sausage Pasta
We still had leftover Pastitsio, so I mixed the half pound of green onion sausage, cooked them with a few leftover onions, then added eggs and scrambled everything together and served it with toast.
Taco Salad
Mostly beans as a base, but a bit of meat. Good as usual.
Brats
This was the evening where we planned to go see Die Hard at the Varsity. This got narrowed a bit, since Shannons’ schedule got changed a little so she’d have to work until 5, the movie starts at 6:15. It wasn’t snowing anymore, but it was bitterly cold. Fortunately, for our timing, Shannon’s work closed at 3, and so she had a bit of time to change and eat. I finished my work day, quickly made dinner and we ate, bundled up and quickly moved, taking account that it may be slick, into the theater, a bit early, hoping to park close. We watched the movie, noticed some things that I had not before. Then rushed through the cold to the car to home. Pretty good sausage, fun movie, good night.
Sweet Potato Soup with Bacon and Chives
I planned to make this on the Sunday, but I decided I needed to take a break after visiting several stores, not for ingredients, but to replenish my stock of shampoo and etc. It was kind of frustrating as I drove over hoping to find a selection of Mead, where I was going did not, driving back across town visiting drug stores in hopes that I could find the other things I needed, which I did not. I finished my grocery list for the week and headed home. 5 or 6 stores were visited. I brought home burgers, we ate them.
