I realized that after my massive mid-April grocery shop, I have more than enough food to keep me out of the grocery store. This is a good thing, since I am only feeding one person! I am resolved to use up what I have, anyway, as I am running out of containers and the patience to cook after a long day.
Monday - Cilantro Lime Chicken, twice baked potato, salad
Tuesday - (frozen) Pork Roast, Steakhouse mac and cheese, honey carrots
Wednesday - Pick up dinner on the way home {a.m. alarm guy, and p.m. counseling}
Thursday - (frozen) Polenta with Sausage Marinara, frozen veggie
Friday - Happy Hour with The Girl (her turn to host) {mental health day, off work, but I'm on call through next Thursday}
Saturday - Salmon, tomato Cavatappi pasta, peas
Sunday - Grilled Pork Chop, bell peppers and onions, leftover pasta, wheat roll {Mother's Day!}
A mother's Day gift for you:
The most beautiful word on the lips of mankind is the word “Mother,”
and the most beautiful call is the call of “My mother.”
It is a word full of hope and love,
a sweet and kind word coming from the depths of the heart.
The mother is everything –
she is our consolation in sorrow,
our hope in misery, and our strength in weakness.
She is the source of love, mercy, sympathy, and forgiveness….
Everything in nature bespeaks the mother.
The sun is the mother of earth and gives it its nourishment of heart;
it never leaves the universe at night until it has put the earth to sleep to the song of the sea and the hymn of birds and brooks.
And this earth is the mother of trees and flowers.
It produces them, nurses them, and weans them.
The trees and flowers become kind mothers of their great fruits and seeds.
And the mother, the prototype of all existence, is the eternal spirit, full of beauty and love.

I love that you are disciplined enough to make a meal plan for the week. I’m having a struggle with that. I try to just grocery shop once a month, and do one big shop. But then, all of the food I bought suddenly no longer appeals to me. There’s always a mad dash after a couple of weeks to use up the produce and dairy before it all goes off. I was wondering the other day whether or not I should just give up cooking entirely and order in.
