Hello, everyone!
I spent this week getting back into the swing of life post-Covid. And I started Anatomy and Physiology 2, so I am again drinking from the fire hose of anatomy knowledge.
This labeled cabinet at class cracked me up!
I really do love this class, and as my post-Covid fatigue fades, I think I will like it even more.
What I Spent
Well, this is an extremely boring part of the post, because….I did not go to the grocery store at all.
Oh, wait, scratch that. I did pop in for two containers of panko bread crumbs; a $5 stop.
Still. Very boring on the shopping front.
What We Ate
Saturday
A burrito bowl night, much to Zoe’s delight! The usual: rice, chicken, veggies, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and so on.
And we had fresh fruit on the side.
Sunday
We had quesadilla burgers, which are basically smallish burgers served in between two street taco tortillas, with some Tex-Mex toppings (like chipotle mayo, cilantro, etc.)
Sonia had hers without the cheese, of course.
Monday
We had chili, salad, and fresh fruit.
Tuesday
Some of us had leftover chili, but Zoe had her college class at dinnertime, and she ate some grilled cheese sandwiches when she got home.
Wednesday
I made chicken katsu, a dish Sonia feels we can never have too often. 😉
I use the chicken katsu recipe from Dinner Illustrated.
And my full review of Dinner Illustrated is right here.
Thursday
We had leftovers, a green salad, and some fresh fruit.
Friday
I think I might make these Swedish meatballs.

It was an unusual and not altogether successful week on our side, but.. we made it:
Monday - the boys had a late soccer game, and convinced me to do delivery. My teen ordered on an app, and had a misfire where he used the location we were at (a high school not close to our house) vs our home. We got it sorted, for an additional fee, but the food was cold by the time it arrived. It was an expensive disappointment. Tuesday - I was able to rescue most of the takeout from the night before, and my husband & I had other leftovers that I can't remember Wednesday - chicken fajitas, as I had to join an evening zoom call for the kids school Thursday - homemade taquitos Friday - we went out after another late soccer game. Shake Shack, which the kids have been wanting to try. I've only been to the one in Tokyo, so it was an interesting experience, but we prefer In & Out, I think.
We don't typically do takeout/delivery/restaurant dinners multiple times during the week, but some weeks are just...

I was able to shop on my own and this week's bill was about $110$ (Aus) and another $50 on food bought to fill tummies as my daughter moved into their own home on Thursday. Meals have been very simple. Monday: was a curried vegetable soup. Tuesday: The same dinner again. Wednesday: Pizza Thursday: I can't remember. Friday: Corned beef.
