What I Spent
First, how about a gratuitous picture of The Original Cat?
After seeing Chiquita photos, some of you have been asking, “Where is your other cat??”
Well, Chiquita would like to be friends, but so far Shelly has not shown an interest. Ehhhh….quite the opposite.
Since Chiquita is always hanging out with me, Shelly has not been hanging out with me so much. And that’s why there are fewer pictures of her than there were before!
You have to hang around the camera-happy person if you want photos. 😉
I spent:
- $37 at Sam’s Club
- $30 on a Hungry Harvest box
- $26.04 at Giant
- $26.05 at Aldi
So, $119.06 for me.
I don’t normally include cents in these reports, but I think it’s funny that I bought groceries within one cent at two different stores!
What We Ate
Saturday
French toast: an Easy Button dinner.
Sunday
Sauteed chicken, roasted potatoes, and asparagus.
Monday
I made a pot of clam chowder, which we ate with sauteed broccoli and some cheese bagels from the freezer.
Tuesday
Zoe was out with a friend, so I put my PJ pants on, watched a bunch of assigned lab videos, and ate leftover soup for dinner.
Chiquita was interested in my soup.
Wednesday
I had lab from 5:30-9:30, so it was Zoe’s turn to eat leftover soup!
I ate a peanut butter sandwich before I left.
And I ate a Clif bar on a break at lab.
It was pretty dark when I left to go home!
Thursday
I made some meatball subs with a green salad on the side.
Friday
Zoe’s working tonight, so maybe we will eat some Swedish pancakes together after she gets home.

Hello. Your clam chowder has been my go-to since you posted your recipe years ago. It is the best! I might need to bring out my soup pot this weekend. Thanks for the reminder.
How is Lisey doing with her new job? Is she loving life on an island?

She's doing well! She loves Hawaii life and she's been working through the long training process for new hires.

Just a tidbit we learned about cats: We've always had two cats at a time because we thought they would love a companion. Then we watched a documentary about cats. They said dogs love companions (other dogs or even a cat) but cats don't want a companion. They want to be the only pet to their owners. They're very jealous of each other. Some get along well, but mostly they just tolerate each other.

It was a crazy week last week, but I almost always play along, so here is what we ate: Monday - Buffalo Chicken Salads with Frank's Red Hot Dressing Tuesday - Crockpot Ribs, ranch beans, watermelon Wednesday - Broccoli Cheese Soup, garlic toast Thursday - Trader Joe's Autumnal Pasta Sauce on ziti with Italian Sausage, zucchini Friday - We had quesadillas with some fajita meat I found in the freezer Saturday - I made taco bowls and Sunday - we're going to each pick out a container from the freezer! This week looks fairly crazy, too. But I have a menu plan and I did buy groceries. My mother died. So. I guess I will need to blog about that...
