What’s for supper at your house this week?
Last week we had Thai Ginger Curry, Trattoria Tortelloni Bake and more.
Hello friends! I hope that you are doing well. We spent our weekend clearing off our very neglected deck, pressure washing and just doing general things that normal people do on a regular basis. We however are not normal and wait until things are way beyond the point of no return to buckle down and get things done. Sigh. At least the nasty portion of this segment of the back porch drama is behind us. Now onto staining and waiting, staining and waiting……
Here’s what we ate last week:
We are continuing our food experiment with Hello Fresh. This was Thai Ginger Curry. I’ll give you an in depth review of what we thought of this meal and why, but the short answer is that I won’t be making it again. 😆 
Busy, busy, and busy. I hate that word. I have streamlined our lives so that I can avoid saying those words most days. I’ve learned to say the word no, kindly, but still. I have cut out all of the chaff from our lives and still there are days that we can’t avoid being busy. So on those days, I say a thankful prayer that I can go through a drive through and buy dinner to save our sanity. 
Hello Fresh: Trattoria Tortelloni Bake. This was yummy. The cheap, homemade garlic bread is all mine though. I’ll tell you all about it!
Potato soup, bacon, and biscuits. Comfort food for my whole family.
Quick, fast and in a hurry food. Spaghetti and garlic bread.
Our electricity was off most of the day and I didn’t get the pork loin I had planned for supper into the crock pot – that’s the next meal- so I made sausage, biscuits and gravy, with frozen hash browns and runny eggs for supper. It was so good.
The pork loin wasn’t doomed. I paired it with mashed potatoes, green beans and corn from a can. And crescent rolls. Yum.

Groceries
This weeks grocery budget went to our local Walmart. I think the success of my grocery budget is dependent on my just staying out of multiple stores. I succeeded this week. Next week I know will be a different story.
I stuck to my list and quickly hunted and gathered what I needed and wanted, and made my exit as fast as humanly possible. Our Walmart just started grocery pickup and I’m going to give that a whirl. Let me rephrase that: our Walmart did a version of grocery pickup. You could place your order and then park your car in the parking lot, walk yourself into the Walmart to a pickup area and hope that an employee had your order ready when they asked you to be there. The last time Denton did it, they made him hike over to a storage closet and get it himself. hahaha. So yes, I believe that my store is just now doing what the rest of the world has been doing for a year now. You place your order, select the time you want to pick up your order and pull into the designated spot where a Walmart employee will bring it out to you. I am very hopeful that this goes well. I’ll let you know!
