I can’t remember what day it was but one day last week it hailed like mad. It hailed so much that the next day while Lucy and I were on our daily walk we came across this giant patch of frozen tundra. Seriously, how crazy is that? Snow is pretty much Lucy’s favorite thing {well, besides chewy sticks} and so of course she had to walk around and sample a bit of it.
Food. So. I wasn’t planning on last week being a no spend week but it just sort of happened. Mostly because I got a big wool shipment in and I was busy cutting and dyeing wool all week {and still am!}. That, and there’s the tiny part about me having no desire to leave the house these days. 😉 I do plan to go to Winco later this week though so at some point the fridge and pantry will get stocked again.
I made the best tuna casserole recipe. If you are a lover of tuna casseroles {peas are a must!} you should really try my recipe. It rocks. And it’s great for leftovers the next day too.
I also made a batch of fig and hazelnut biscotti {with out the hazelnuts}. Those were good too. Although I would advise against eating 3 in one day. Freeze the extras if you must, but do make them. My mom found an inexpensive container of dried figs at Trader Joe’s last month and there are just enough figs in there for 2 batches of this biscotti.
Hawaiian chicken. I basically cooked some chicken thighs and poured about a cup of that pineapple finished sauce I brought home from my parents place and poured it over rice.
I also made a batch of our favorite baked macaroni and cheese, 2 soups and tacos with homemade tortillas last week for dinner.
Monkey Boy brought home a pizza one night.
And I also pulled a bunch of onions, carrots, 2 squash and oodles of green tomatoes from the garden yesterday as well.
With 7 days of rain in the forecast and cooler temps on the horizon I decided to go ahead and pull my tomato plants and squash vines. I have a ton of palm sized green tomatoes sitting on the counter and I’m not sure if I’m going to can a batch of green curry sauce with them or try and find a tomato chutney recipe. Maybe you have a really great green tomato recipe you can share with me? 😉
Life. Sometimes it’s a thrill a minute. Other times you just sit at home all week in your own little cocoon and drink copious amounts of tea all day, and play with your dog.
Balance. That’s the key to life.
