The following items need to be consumed:
This afternoon, D and I went to purchase potatoes from the farmer a few blocks away from home. We hope that these potatoes will fare better as fries.
We then went to do our bulk grocery for the month. Right now, the pantry, refrigerator and freezer are fully stocked.
New Year’s Eve dinner will be a tuna tataki as starters and gourmet as main. All the ingredients were purchased two days ago. This is a lovely and simple way to end the year.
This afternoon, I walked to the grocery store to purchase some last minute items for the upcoming New Year’s Eve dinner. The store was crowded, but I did not mind that one bit. I just grabbed the things I needed, paid with cash, and walked back home. All within half an hour or so.
I did not have to drive and park a car; nor do I have to cycle, park and lock a bicycle. For me, walking is the easiest and most stress-free. 🙂
A loaf of store-bought bread was given to D and I. What does one do with bread that we did not buy from the baker?
I made grilled cheese sandwiches, French toasts, strata, and toasts. I still have a few slices left…
I see a future of eating lesser and lesser meat. Not only is this good for healthy ageing, it is also an easy way to stay on budget.
It is almost Thanksgiving in America. On the food websites that I frequent, a popular Thanksgiving side dish known as green bean casserole keeps popping up. The only time I had tasted this dish was more than two decades ago. It was a Thanksgiving meal at the home of my cousin’s co-worker. My fond memory of that day makes me want to make the dish for myself. Soon…
It is a windy and rainy day. The sudden gales and heavy downpours make it a bit risky and downright unpleasant to bike or walk to the baker. So, I decided to make pannekoeken for lunch this afternoon.
I have all the ingredients in my pantry. The bad weather is just an extra excuse to pamper our tummies. 😉
This Sunday afternoon, D and I cycled to Bokkeslot for the oogstfeest. As we did in 2019 and 2022, we visited the animals, took photos, drank, ate, bought things from the farm’s shop, and enjoyed the good weather along with many others.
Yesterday, I cooked up a sauce of bell peppers and tomatoes. This allowed me to use up the two bell peppers that have been sitting in the fridge for too long, and the last batch of very ripe tomatoes I got from the in-laws.
This morning, I harvested jalapenos and pointy peppers from my vegetable patch. With a simple recipe I found online, I turned the small harvest into a jar of pickled peppers.
