Keeping up

So sorry to have been away...acute back pain kept me out of commission yesterday, but am much better today. We did have some dinners I wanted to tell you about. Sunday night we returned from our housesitting gig - friends returned from their trip. It's good to be back home but we keep reaching for things in the wrong places! We'd planned a simple dinner, and I went to the store to buy a few things, including a splurge of cheese and Triscuits. What came about - due to sheer laziness, I guess - was cheese and crackers, followed by popcorn for dessert. Yum. So the simple dinner made an appearance last night. We had scrambled eggs with sauteed onion, garlic and mushrooms, inside corn tortillas, topped with salsa. Everything was in the fridge, including the fruit cocktail for dessert. It was a nice light supper. There was some snacking going on later, though - I justified it because I had to take ibuprofen. We also thought we had a little ice cream in the freezer, but that was in our friends' freezer!

For the most part I'm still only buying milk, oj, lettuce and other salad stuff, cheese, and occasionally some other item or two. I spent about $30 on the above to keep us going for this week. I think we can work out of the freezer for the rest of the week...I'm planning more pizza, spaghetti and homemade sauce, and something with that poor can of tuna I keep looking at. My crockpot is calling, which means there might be soup in the forecast too - so stay tuned! Not sure what's on for tonight. See you tomorrow.
