Getting a turkey meatloaf out of the freezer for tonight. Should give us some leftovers for the week as well. We leave for vacation on Friday, so this week is fridge clean out. Although I know I need to grab some lunch meat for DD’s lunches this week, so I may get a bit extra and plan to take sandwiches to the airport. We’re flying at dinner time.

last night, C and I went to my favorite Italian place around here. it's not cheap, but we are behaving ourselves otherwise. she got veal piccata with angel hair pasta, and a side Caesar salad to start. I had a side field greens salad to start, and then a ravioli special that was outstanding. portabella mushroom raviolis with mushroom and asparagus in a creamy sage sauce. OMG, it needs to become a regular menu item. we both just finishess off the leftovers for lunch.
dinner tonight will be at the sports bar, while we watch game 3 of the Cup finals. whatever it is will likely be unhealthy. 😎

I'm trying to get back into meal planning since I'm feeling better. We've had various parties and an overnight trip in the last 2 weeks.
Monday night leftovers for me. DH will be eating after his afternoon golf tournament.
Tuesday night black bean chicken. I haven't made this lately and it's always a hit.
Wednesday night I'm not sure yet. I'm trying to coordinate with a friend who's moving out of state and this is a free night.
Thursday night maybe instant pot spaghetti? If I can make it Wednesday, we have evening plans so whatever we eat needs to be quick.
Friday night leftovers?
Saturday we have a party at 2pm and there will be food served.

I made a valiant effort at cleaning the produce out of the fridge vefore I leave tomorrow (roommate wouldn't use any of it) so I sent my friend G home with an almost full shopping bag of stuff that wouldn't survive til Saturday. I hate waste. tonight, I roasted the end of a broccoli crown, mushrooms, red onion that I didn't send with G. I added some tiny potatoes and a piece of cod I picked up this afternoon. and a cosmopolitan, just because. 🍸 fish was $4. the rest was here. looking forward to trying all kinds of new things on the company dime this week. will snap pics where I discreetly can. 😉

Tomorrow is chicken and brown rice with some kind of vegetable. Then I'm done cooking until further notice. I'll be interested to see what my kid feeds me.

Thanks! I'm not nervous yet, but I'm sure I will be tomorrow. I have to be there at 6 am. Fingers crossed. I probably won't be on here tomorrow since I'll be drugged.

You never know. They gave me some really good drugs and said I'd be on them for a week. That's a lot of time for me to be idle.

The tell tell sign is going to be those of us who actually "know" what you might be saying. There are a few here that I have complete confidence in if some need interpretation. Just sayin'

not sure what I'll be having later on the plane, but the offerings in the lounge were great. I grabbed a cold plate of grilled asparagus w/basil, mint, and ricotta salata, and a big pile of vegetarian japchae when I first got here, just finished off a little soup bowl of more japchae as I realized how badly the wine has gone to my head. consider that I've had salad, vegetables, and more vegetables today. nobody should be surprised lol...
the point of this post is more that an airport meal was actually really good!

chiver78 we "stalked" DS1 for 4 days in Vienna while he was doing a grad school internship there. (DS1 travelled a LOT as a student/humanitarian aid worker ... we have always jokingly called visiting him "stalking" him.) We had a two great traditional Viennese meals (one high up in the hills outside Vienna), plus bratwurst from a street vendor, plus traditional tea/coffee and local pastry ... but we were AMAZED at how delicious the ethnic restaurants in Vienna were!

Good luck andi!!
Tonight's dinner was as planned. Wednesday will be instant pot spaghetti.
Thursday will be leftovers from Tuesday and Wednesday. We have plans for the evening so we need a quick dinner.
Friday maybe grilled shrimp and sweet potatoes? This depends on whether I go out or not.

airport hotel tonight, with a grab 'n go section. thankfully, coworker has stayed here before and has found another airport hotel in walking distance that has a restaurant. had a nice plate of pork cutlet with leeks and asparagus, roasted potatoes and some crusty bread. currently nursing a glass of a really tasty Austrian wine back in my hotel room while I digest enough to pass out. cost - free! I'm still on expenses til I get back to Boston.

We had tacos. Not the best I've made but good. Used a different brand of seasoning I like the other one better.

I bought grelots (tiny, tiny new potatoes). I boil them whole, then smother them in butter and chopped parsley. SO good! I'll have that with a nice rainbow trout.

one night this week, I ordered a dish that had what I hoped was something lost in translation. for example - "speck" in Ireland/UK was what we know in the US as ham. in Austria this week, speck was bacon. so when I saw chorizo carbonara on the menu, I saw what I thought was comfort food and maybe chorizo meant something else in Austria. boy, was I wrong! I fixed the craving tonight. 😁

I sauteed some shrimp with parmesan garlic sauce, sauteed zucchini and made sweet potatoes in the instant pot. Maybe $7 or so? I don't remember what the bag of shrimp costs.
Thursday night we will eat at the baseball game.
Tuesday I might make the unstuffed peppers as I have 4 peppers in the fridge. That will probably cover Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tonight DH wants the leftover black bean chicken. I keep telling him I will happily freeze the leftovers but he's insisting.

Tuesday is unstuffed peppers from the Budget Bytes recipe.
Wednesday leftovers or something easy.
Thursday dinner at the baseball stadium.
Friday probably take out. I'll be at my grandma's for the weekend. DH is on his own.
