January 18 - jumble of stuff

Good Monday everyone 

Here’s the new list for this week - decorations  are stickers

This GEICO ad was in a new magazine and I thought the top card was so cute 

  

The ad is postcards that can really be mailed or just given to someone.  

I drink a bit of tea and that’s why I like the tea one so much.

We aren’t GEICO customers,  I just like this ad.  

Early this morning,  I picked up a Walmart grocery order.  This Walmart is very close to Chic-Fil-a  and Chic-FIL-a has been sending me rewards in emails.  I haven’t bought their food since January 2020 and I guess they want me come back.  

So,  I used those rewards and got us a yummy breakfast,  almost free. 

Then later in the morning I picked up my parents Walmart order. 

My mom was happy that they subbed a 12 pack of toilet paper for the 6 pack she ordered.  

(If Walmart subs a bigger item, the customer only pays for the original item they ordered.) 

Also this morning,  I stopped at CVS as I had some CVS ExtraCareBucks to spend.  

 

It was all a good deal but some the store coupons did not deduct and I just don’t enjoy figuring out the deals anymore.  

I left with $3 Extracarebucks and I will spend them in the next week or 2 but that will probably be my last coupon shopping trip to CVS.  

Meals this weekend

One grandson was here Sunday morning so made a big  Dutch Baby and sausage links. 

Supper was fried rice made with Saturday’s leftover grilled pork chops and lots of carrots, onions and corn.  

 

That grandson was tired! 

He spent all afternoon sleeping in a living room and we weren’t being quiet at all. 

In case you can’t tell,  I am not a fan of all the censorship that is occurring and seems to be continuing to occur in the USA.  

I think the powers that be have some good intentions but I also think it’s a very slippery slope and free speech will not be a right in the USA after this.  

I don’t talk politics here  and I don’t consider censorship to be a political issue but a US Constitutional issue.  

I have no solution but..........

But here’s a funny meme about it

January 16- food prep and a new way to eat leftovers

Hello everyone 

I wrote up a menu sheet for meals we have ingredients for.  It will cover at least 2 weeks and meals are listed in no particular order. 

I will cross off each main meal as we eat it.  

I did a little food prep for the week ahead 

From left to right 

Fresh strawberries in red Jello

1 Chopped red onion 

A sweet potato and white potato to roast with supper tonight 

4 diced yellow onions 

5 peeled oranges 

2 pounds of peeled and sliced carrots (sliced by the Presto Salad Shooter) 

My son said he learned this method on Instagram and they have been using their leftovers to make yummy panini sandwiches.  

You start with a large tortilla like the kind for sandwich wraps, and cut one slash in it just to the center 

Then add whatever leftovers or fillings in each fourth

   

Now fold each quarter in until it’s folded into a quarter 

Then heat it in a Panini machine (I’m sure a griddle or skillet would work too, you’d just need to flip it to cook both sides)

You end up with a fancy restaurant type sandwich.  

I think these are a wonderful idea- and a thrifty way to use up leftovers,  even tiny amounts.  And if your fixing multiple sandwiches,  it would be easy to make them different to please each eater.  

Hope you’re all having a good weekend
