5 thing Friday - Gus, Bubbie, cookies, cheese tray, tuna bowls

I think the photos this week are slightly out of order from when they actually happened, but I kind of feel like that's a metaphor for life lately.

I visited my mother last week and as usual, I worry.  She is taking good care of Gus, so there's that.

After taking Bubbie to get his wrist casted, we stopped into Herbert's for lunch.

About all of the mothering I can do for Bubbie right now is feed him and get him to appointments.  Which maybe he can do for himself, too, but a little extra love to him is never a bad thing. 

A popular cookie company in Austin delivered hundreds of mini boxes to the hospital and I snagged one.  Zero guilt.  I'm not a huge chocolate chip cookie fan but I could not say no to cookies during a stressful week. 

Lord, I'm ready for this year to end.

Long story short:  I bought a gift certificate to a local cheese shop intending for Hubby and I to use it for one of their cheesy bus tours or a class, then Covid hit and they closed all events.  I was tired of waiting for things to open back up, so I just ordered a meat and cheese tray for pick up last Friday and we snacked on it all weekend.  Some of it went into the freezer.  

This week's tuna "bowl" incarnation involves romaine, white beans, Albacore tuna, yellow bell pepper, purple onion, avocado, and feta.  I think some variation of it will be in the menus at least every other week going forward as it was delish!
