I usually get it either Thur-Fri-Sat. <br />Here is the current plan starting with today.<br />Sat: Drive-thru Gyro sandwich for lunch, sausages on the grill with macaroni salad for dinner<br />Sun: Brunch-Eggs, bacon, toast; Cobb Salads for evening<br />Mon: Meat loaf, mashed or baked potatoes<br />Tues: Fajitas or Tacos<br />Wed: Pancakes and Sausage with smoothies<br />Thurs: Baked pork chops with cheesy potatoes<br />Fri: Pasta Bake and salad<br /><br />The stores here are still out of flour and pasta, canned soups and frozen potato products. Toilet Paper is finally starting to come back on shelves. Eggs are spotty in places. And there are no masks or hand sanitizer anywhere.<br /><br />Farmer and I are still working at our jobs (both considered essential). Today it was nice to be home. We did drive in to see the grandbabies and to give our son a break. Our ddil is a nurse and works weekends. After that short visit we had to go to the city and do some farm errands. We pickup lunch and ate in the parking lot. Then we came home and worked hard all afternoon & evening. I got the house cleaned and lots of laundry done. Made an angel food cake and macaroni salad. Farmer fixed pasture fences and worked on equipment. We fed the cattle a big bale and finally came in for the night at 8 p.m. Ate supper and showered and now we are ready for a relaxing Sunday.<br />Kay from Nebraska, middle of USAKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-22289647349973995932020-04-16T17:23:04.296+10:002020-04-16T17:23:04.296+10:00I have written a menu plan and a list based on wha...I have written a menu plan and a list based on what I needed. But mum came with to the shops and I can hardly blame her. I think she has been out of the house twice since mid March. But mum at the grocery store means many expensive treats pop into the cart. My bill was $72 which is very good for us.<br /><br />Yesterday I plodded around the house doing washing and other stuff. In a few minutes I will be doing a free online class and making a pincushion. I am looking forward to that even though mum does not understand how I could be doing a class on line. I am afraid mum is becoming far more"eccentric".<br /><br />God bless and stay safe.Suzannoreply@blogger.com
