D - doordash - indian? food: curry salmon, something chicken, spinach with shrimp, rice
Today I was really in bed most of the day. Very achy. Middle part of my back, shoulders. Called doctor to see if I should come in for my dermatology appt - he suggested postponing appointment so changed to next Friday.
Thursday, March 11, 2021
L - Yellow Pea Soup, Cans of diced tomato and string beans, added to the leftover Irish Cabbage and Bacon - Leftover Pizza and french fries - and pie I made this morning. Graham cracker crumbs with some brown sugar and melted butter, ground up chocolate chips on the bottom, then a cheesecake instead pudding made with three individual containers of ground up diced pears with powdered milk and then cheesecake instant pudding with 2 cups of Irish Cream (drink) - that did not et up so I added milk powder. That got too thick so I whipped up some heavy cream and folded that in for the top layer of the pie. We will get twelve pieces of these (9.5 inch pie plate).
D - Spaghetti with Alfredo/pesto sauce, breakfast links, walnuts plus salad with tomatoes, and the tort from the cooking class - it had custard inside with nutella and raspberries and a mysterious yellow current maybe?
I felt much better today, but B was prepping office walls for painting so didn't get any work done for the downloading of docs for taxes. In the late afternoon he moved my computer and set up in the other room so I can work this weekend while he painted and cleans up the office! For Pi Day I think I will make a marzipan/apple pie. President Biden was very optimistic on vaccines being available for everyone soon. It will be very nice when our son has his shots too.

L - B&A leftover Salmon curry, chicken something, spinach and shrimp - J had the Dal all had salad and some nan
T - Bailey's pudding pie
D - Just cereal and blueberries
Buffy enjoying her 'enrichment center'. She really loves searching for little pieces of carrots or treats. Mainly the treats. She smells like she is hunting something - then pushes the pillows, paws at the towels or blanket or toys to get to the item. We were afraid she would slip and hurt herself from the sofas, so everything is set up so she can't get there any more...
I spent the day working on the computer, now in the bedroom. So nice to be at a proper desk sitting in a real office chair. Got a lot done - but there is more to do....
Saturday, March 13, 2021
B - J only - toast and jam and p-nut butter
L - Cabbage, bacon soup, salad
D- leftover pasta with basil and alfredo sauce, salad
T - last pieces of the bailey pudding pie
Took several walks today - two with Buffy alone and a third longer one while chatting with Ci on the phone. So I did way over 10K steps for once. Didn't even look at the computer until now, so no work on organizing or getting things ready for taxes. Saw a horse being walked today! It lives over by the pokemon stop in the next neighborhood. There is a dog howling now. I hope he is let in soon so he will be safe from the coyotes.

B - J only yogurt with a bit of jam, piece of brown bread
L - Carrot soup topped with cheese, bacon, and croutons from a salad mix, Irish brown bread. I sort of followed Margaret's recipe, except I had an eye to use things up that had been in the freezer. I ground up some dried bananas, flax seed, an M&M cookie from Witch Witch, and used that in place of about a cup and half of the flour. Only used WW flour for the rest - about 2 cups more. 1 t baking soda, 1 t cinnamon. Enough buttermilk powder for a cup - added hot water for that. 2 eggs. Very dense dough. I added a little oil and a little more hot water to make it so I could work with it. Smashed it into a loaf pan - it was very hard. I decided to just enjoy the extra crust that would form. Baked for 30 min at 350. The top was starting to burn - but it was good looking except for that. Sliced easily. Delicious. I had without butter. A & B added butter. So this is the lunch that Farmer Ray in Ireland has when his wife is working - she prepares it and leaves it so he just has to heat the soup.
D - Costco Detroit Pizza and Salad plus Apple Pie for Pi Day!
Monday, March 15, 2021
D - Leftover chicken pie but this time with sliced potatoes on the top! (Looked very pretty - next time soak the potatoes in salt water to add more flavor.)

Swedish meatballs, matchstick carrot salad + mashed potatoes with sour cream, brussel sprouts and asparagus and cranberry sauce
Part of the technique was poaching the meatballs in the sourcream, Worcestershire sauce, and chicken stock sauce.
My meatballs sort of glommed together.
I didn't make the crumble dessert as we still had pieces of our custard, marzipan, apple pie! This shot shows the layers pretty well.
