My phone is broken…and other confessions of a food hoarder.

Sharing is caring!

I had taken some good pictures of S’s Chicken Piccata dinner on my phone. But STUPIDLY I didn’t download them before taking it to the Apple store to have them wipe it clean…again…even though I’ve tried that like 7 times since I found out the stupid wifi connect doesn’t work. GRR!!

 

Apparently, the latest software update has now made it so the wifi card in my phone won’t respond.  NICE! The worst part?  I have to shell out the price I paid for the phone to get a replacement…all because I installed a recommended update.  DO NOT get me started… I.AM.FURIOUS!  *takes deep breaths*

 

Okay…since today is a Federal Holiday, I have taken inventory of the pantry, the freezer, and SOME of the baking goods.  There’s a second cabinet with the flours and some more non-perils for cookies.  I’ll get to that cabinet this weekend.

 

This is what I used:

• Shells and cheese      
• Lasagna noodles
• Cannelini beans (2)
• Maraschino cherries
• Pimentos
• Cream of mushroom soup (1)
• Cake mix
• Dried blueberries
• tuna (3)
• Pineapple
• Tomatoes (1)
• Egg noodles
• Berbere spice mix
• Hamburger (2)
• Pork chops (2)
• Chicken meatballs
• Smoked sausage (2)

 

Some of the items from the freezer will be used this week.  I can see with the smoked sausage and the cannelini beans that I will probably be making cassoulet next week?  Maybe?  This would use one package of sausage, 2 cans of beans, and one can of tomatoes.  I’d have to get some other veggies to go with it.  Zucchini?  Aubergine?  I like that instead of eggplant.  It sounds fancier.  LOL

 

I have 2 months to thin the herd before the big move.  Some of this might be difficult, but since I’ve posted it here, I’m going to do it!!  Um…let’s see what I see.

 

Lasagna (given!) – Lasagna noodles and 1 package of hamburger.
Cassoulet – 2 cans of beans, 1 package of sausage, 1 can of tomatoes
Pineapple Upside Down Cake – pineapple, maraschino cherries, cake mix.
Tuna Romanoff – pimentos, tuna, cream of mushroom soup, egg noodles
Hot dogs with shells and cheese
Chicken meatball sammies
Blueberry Lemon muffins
Corn Flake Crusted Berbere Pork Chops with coconut rice and green beans.

 

Well, seems like next week’s menu is set.  LOL  I’ll have to revisit this next weekend to see what’s left.  There are a few already cooked meals in the freezer.  Those would be easy to reheat and eat on the weekends when we’re being lazy.  I also think I will be baking cookies next weekend.  There’s some dough in the fridge that I made before I left.  I’m thinking we’ll be making those this week to have with ice cream.  I mean, who doesn’t LOVE cookies and ice cream?  Really?  There’s a few that don’t?  Seriously?  WOW!
