DS2 planted the zucchini in the raised bed planter (hoping to deter the squash bugs). I planted 2 pots of basil, 2 thyme plants joined the one that wintered over; 2 cilantro plants and a nice sized rosemary. I still have 2 pots of bush cucumbers and 2 peppers to pot up. I will be getting several jalepeno plants and many flowers to pot up. <br /><br />We ate this week:<br /><br />Sunday: Made blueberry muffins for breakfast; lunch was whatever we could find; fish sticks and fries for supper.<br /><br />Monday: Spaghetti and meat sauce, salad and homemade quick bread butter sticks.<br /><br />Tuesday: Had to run to the city, so ate take out from Arbys. I had a gyro. It was very good.<br /><br />Wednesday: We took a troublesome cow to the sale barn. There was no where to park a trailer while we ate, so we went home. <br /> Sausage gravy, homemade biscuits. Canned tropical fruit.<br /><br />Thursday: Sloppy joes & chips, beans for him. I ate leftovers but I don't remember what.<br /><br />Friday: I don't remember.<br /><br />Saturday: Sandwiches for lunch. Had to make another trip to the city. Take out from Taco Bell.<br /><br />Sunday: Friends were here for the holiday: Made blueberry muffins again for breakfast. Supper was grilled hamburgers/hot dogs, buns, pasta salad, deviled eggs, green tossed salad, baked beans, chips and boughten chocolate pie.<br /><br />Monday: Grandkids were here for lunch. They had mac & cheese, frozen peas and one picky-pants had pepperoni & cheese. Adults had leftover grilled meats. Supper was bagel pizzas for him and I had the leftover pasta salad & a hot dog. Middle of the afternoon we had "from scratch" yellow cake, with strawberries to celebrate a 82nd bday. (family member)<br /><br />It was not a very healthy week, foodwise. I think we'll have to change that this week. But I'm running out of ideas.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-75997917906143334552020-05-24T20:55:32.289-06:002020-05-24T20:55:32.289-06:00Tuna Thing is a perfectly acceptable name.

One day my friend wanted to know what I was eating and I said, “just some stuff that my mom makes”. It remained Stuff and my boys grew up requesting Stuff for supper.

It smells unpleasant; it's really slippery; it can make you sick if it's not cooked all the way . . .

This should have been a Saturday night supper since we live in Maine but Sat dinner has been pizza in this household for so many years that I have to make pizza until it's too hot to turn on the oven. This meal used up most of a package of hotdogs that were in the freezer, the rest of a batch of pinto beans I cooked to have beans for our tacos and some cabbage that we had in the fridge.<br />Monday - Hubby's birthday and he has to have grilled meat for his dinner so it was grilled hamburgers, sausage and the rest of the hotdogs on buns, sauteed zucchini, corn on the cob, strawberries and a birthday lemon meringue pie. We were joined by our daughter, her SO and our granddaughter to help plow through all of this food. <br />Tuesday - beef and bean tacos<br />Wednesday - grilled sausage and kielbasa, leftover barbecue beans, salad<br />Thursday - sauteed veggies with pasta dressed with a Thai style peanut butter sauce<br />Friday - we ate out to help support the local restaurants that are starting to open up.<br />PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-14416503665927176032020-05-22T19:05:33.157-06:002020-05-22T19:05:33.157-06:00Friday we had nice wieners and baked beans.

Sunday was a miserable wet cold day that we had hay delivered and by the time we got the 1200 lb bales unloaded we were cold to the none and soaked, so after a hot shower I ventured out to Burger King drive through. On Monday I made up for Sunday by making a great meatloaf with mashed potatoes and wax beans. Tuesday hubby made ham steak with mac and cheese for him, a hash brown patty for mr, and creamed corn. Wednesday we had cube steak, lots of sauteed onions, and boiled red potatoes. Thursday we had breaded baked chicken breasts and french fries. I forgot to make the veg.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506305897742962637.post-75898806822276798122020-05-22T14:05:10.955-06:002020-05-22T14:05:10.955-06:00Linda: YAY FOR ARUGULA!
